The images will particularly spotlight the unique ecosystem that has won the islands their recognition as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, as well as the Sekimon area on Hahajima, where endemic species and rare species still exist in their primordial state, the magnificent blue sea that is affectionately called "Bonin Blue," and the schools of dolphins that frolic in the waters around the islands year-round.
Display panels and photos of the Ogasawara Islands will adorn the first-floor entrance hall and provide basic information about the islands, their history, culture, plant and animal ecosystems, and the World Natural Heritage in a way that everyone can easily understand and enjoy. Furthermore, the UNESCO World Natural Heritage certificate (replica) will be displayed in the eighth-floor foyer of Communication Zone OPUS.
