Shikoku Aquarium (located at 4 Hamaichibancho, Utazu-cho, Ayauta-gun, Kagawa Prefecture) is holding the 'Frogs That Sing in the Rainy Season' exhibition from Friday, May 29, 2026, to Sunday, July 12, 2026, spotlighting frogs that call during the rainy season.
This exhibition displays seven species of frogs found in Kagawa Prefecture that are active and vocal during the rainy season.
From left: Japanese tree frog, Marsh frog, and Black-spotted pond frog.
The exhibition area features a device that plays each frog's call when a button is pressed, allowing visitors to learn about the differences and ecology of each frog while listening to their calls. A limited-edition fish stamp (gyoshuin) will also be sold during the period.
We hope this exhibition will spark interest in the familiar nature and the changing seasons through the calls of frogs.
Additionally, from Friday, June 5, a blue Japanese tree frog has joined the 'Frogs That Sing in the Rainy Season' exhibition booth.
Blue Japanese Tree Frog
This individual was found in mid-May in Donari-cho, Awa City, Tokushima Prefecture, and was transferred to the aquarium after being contacted by the person who discovered it.
The blue coloration of this Japanese tree frog is thought to be due to a deficiency or extreme condensation of yellow pigment cells in its skin. In the wild, it is believed to be easily spotted by predators and have difficulty surviving.
Please come and see this very rare blue tree frog, whose refreshing color is perfect for the rainy season.
