AOAO SAPPORO is a downtown Sapporo aquarium where, despite being far from the sea, you can experience the diverse "world of water" through areas where penguins live, exhibits where you can experience the world of the sea through video, and more. This time, we will be holding the first-ever well-being experience event in this special space, to be enjoyed through flowers, herbs, scents, and food. The source of all things—people, animals, and plants—is "water." Through flowers, herbs, and scents, you can feel the rich connections and pleasant cycles that water brings.

On the day of the event, we have prepared hands-on programs such as making a penguin-themed flower bouquet and enjoying your favorite scents with aromas and herbs. Furthermore, you can enjoy a variety of programs, including an introduction to gin making and a tasting by the "Shakotan Spirit" distillery from Shakotan-cho, Hokkaido, a commentary on the lives of penguins by AOAO SAPPORO's biology staff, and a talk event to think about well-being with staff and florists.
