Why You Should Visit

Preschoolers and elementary school kids try real jobs with businesses from Awaji Island, get paid in mocca—a children's currency made of wood—and spend it at the on-site market. Held at the Awaji Shinkin Bank head office annex in Sumoto as a pre-event for the bank's 90th anniversary, it brings together 29 businesses including a builder, farms, a gelato shop, an incense makers' cooperative and a car repair shop. The appeal is going through working, getting paid and deciding how to spend it all in one day. The job experience needs advance sign-up (150 places), but anyone can walk in to shop at the market.
