We are extremely pleased to be able to participate as a top sponsor for "Wonderia Yokohama Supported by Umios." Our company will change its name to "Umios Co., Ltd." on March 1, 2026, and under our purpose "For the ocean, for life," we aim to be a solutions company that benefits both people and the planet through food, with our value creation centered on the ocean.

Together, through this facility, we will create opportunities for many people to feel the richness of nature and contemplate a sustainable future.

"Wonderia Yokohama Supported by Umios" is an immersive experience facility that delivers encounters with wonder and mystery alongside lifelike visuals. The facility is comprised of six zones, each with a different theme, allowing visitors to enjoy encounters with creatures and nature that are rarely experienced in daily life.
