This is an idividual paticipating activity in which volunteers respond one-on-one to each visitor. There is no leader. Chatting with visitors will increase the interest in Yatsu-higata rather than by simple observation. Individual guidance forms the basis of volunteer activities at the Observation Center.
You can guide visitors in your free time. The guiding activity may vary from explaining about the Yatsu-higata and wild birds, to questions and answers, or the use of binoculars and telescopes.

The event is held once every month adjusted to the scheduled Group Visit. The usual Individual Visit ocassionally converts into a buzzing Group Visit. Looking back to the walk, we share the fun of guiding and exchanging information.
