Excellent indoor facility for children to role play different occupations and earn kidzo (currency that can be used in all Kidzania outlets globally). It is located in a shopping mall and near to Toyosu station. Staff are friendly, helpful and patient, and they make instructions very simple for kids (young kids or kids who don’t speak Japanese) to follow. You can check in (best to buy tickets online before visiting) at the counter before the shift starts (2 shifts per day: 9am to 3pm and 4pm to 9pm) and you will be given a queue number card for entering. You can start to queue 45 minutes before the shift starts at the stipulated queue spot according to your queue number and admission begins around 30 minutes before the shift starts. Once inside, it is best to go to the popular activities (Nintendo, candy factory, pilot) to make a reservation so that you can come back for that activity later at the reserved time. You can only make the next reservation after you have finished the first reserved activity. In the meantime, You can do other jobs that are available (refer to the timing information displayed at each activity). For the theatre events, there’s only 1 session per event(example, there’s only 1 wedding ceremony per shift) so you might want to reserve for a particular type of theatre activity that your child really wants to do. Kidzania Tokyo does not use the B.Kidzania PaZZport so you cannot collect stamps in your PaZZport here. Instead they use the job reservations card and they give out a job card at the end of each completed activity, which is quite a nice collectible. They also have professionally taken photos of your child for certain activities that are printed out and displayed near the entrance and you can choose which one you will like to purchase. (Wish they can be more environmentally friendly though!) They have some F&B outlets for food and drinks purchases, with lots of seatings around. There’s also a parents lounge for parents to relax in. We went for the Speak English Wednesday 2nd shift event, and we heard from the staff that the speak English events are usually not as crowded. Overall it’s a unique and fun place for kids to try different jobs activity.

***The exhibition will be extended until the end of 2022*** ■COVID-19 Infection Control Measures: https://planets.teamlab.art/tokyo/#information teamLab Planets is a museum where you walk through water. It consists of four vast exhibition spaces containing seven indoor artworks, plus one outdoor piece at the entrance for a total of eight works created by art collective teamLab. By immersing the entire body with other people in these massive “Body Immersive” artworks, the boundary between the body and the artwork dissolves, the boundaries between the self, others, and the world become something continuous, and we explore a new relationship without boundaries between ourselves and the world. Visitors enter the museum barefoot, and become completely immersed with other visitors in the vast artwork spaces. ■1 minute on foot from Shin-Toyosu Station ■10 minutes on foot from Toyosu Station and LaLaport *The facilities do not have any parking, so we ask guests to come by train or bus.

It was really wonderful experience... the dark path with light near the bottom of walls, the walk through the water increased curiosity.. the infinite crystal universe was awesome.. feels like where have I came, so good... the koi fish pond was like going back to childhood as playing with water and fish... when touching the fish, the flowers blooms at that spot, a treat to eyes.. In air ball room, the color changes with impactful touch.. and the falling universe of flowers was incredible with the flowers and color movement ... It was really good... The "Soft black hole" considering COVID-19 is closed now.. however in website "Cold life" artwork was also mentioned.. don't know if I missed it or it is also closed.. also as restroom is only available near locker area.. if someone wants to go to restroom in middle of artworks observation it may be a problem as reentry is not allowed (may be consulting with staffs or asking beforehand might help, though not sure)... overall enjoyed alot.. :)
