“Knowledge Corridor” Cetacean research facility for tourism and research

A proposal to pass the first screening of the proposal, which is an internationally important base for whale research and has been proposed as a base for the knowledge of the “Whale and Sea Ecomuseum Taiji”. It is a corridor-type research facility centered around the Taiji Townsman Forest on the site, and the corridor has a library function. We proposed a new research institute where researchers from different positions, local residents, and tourists can meet various knowledge in the same place and learn from each other.
