Himejikko Banpaku 2026

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.
