Summary
Samani Town's Apoi College lecture series continues with an August 2026 session on Hokkaido mammals, focusing on shrew species and how they live in the Apoi region.
Samani Town’s Apoi College lecture series continues in August 2026 with a session titled What Species of Mammals Live in Hokkaido – Especially Shrews, hosted by the town’s Lifelong Learning Division.
Session details
- Date: August 12, 2026.
- Focus: Overview of Hokkaido mammals with a focus on shrew (Sorex) species and their life cycles.
- Organiser: Samani Town Lifelong Learning Division.
Why it matters
Apoi’s peridotite geology supports unusual small-mammal habitat, and shrews are a specific research focus for scientists studying the area. The lecture links serious biology to a general public audience through the same natural-history framing used elsewhere in Samani’s summer programming.
For international readers
Apoi College sessions are aimed at residents and returning visitors interested in the science of the Hidaka coast. They complement more conventional tourism content and give the region an intellectual anchor beyond its scenery.
