Thanks everyone!
Well, I seems too complicated or expensive to even try it out.
I think it's better to fly to tokyo instead.

Intriguing.
It took some looking but the technique is called "Clearing and Staining".
Doesn't look to complex, just tedious.

I looked further into it, you can purchase all the supplies from Fisher scientific and Carolina Biological, the problem is some of the stains are $10 a gram and have minimum quantities
I don't know how THEY were done, but one way can be found here.
