Why You Should Visit

An indoor event where Himeji's children can try a variety of hands-on experiences under an "Expo" theme. Seven zones—active play, festival games, music therapy, crafts, Snoezelen sensory space, nature experience, and a caregiver consultation area—are set up to roam freely, welcoming children with and without disabilities. A stamp rally runs alongside it. No booking needed; children of elementary-school age and under must be accompanied by a guardian.

NOTE

Seven experience zones: active play, festival games, music therapy, crafts, Snoezelen (a calming sensory space of light and sound), nature experience, and a caregiver consultation area. A stamp rally lets you collect a prize by visiting the zones. Children of elementary-school age and under need a guardian; some zones have participant limits. Last entry 14:30. Held rain or shine; cancelled if a weather warning is in effect for Himeji at 7:00 on the day. No childcare corner.
