Why You Should Visit
A job-experience fair for children at Taketori Park in Koryo, Nara Prefecture, now in its 4th year in 2026. Around 60 booths of job experiences and market stalls from local businesses line up, along with working vehicles. On stage are live spray painting by artist HAYATO, bubble performer Tsuka-chan, singer-songwriter Aya and the YouTubers Nara Land, and there is a race against dinosaurs for preschool and primary school children. A free shuttle bus runs from Kintetsu Yamato-Takada Station.
