Supervised by :  KCJ GROUP INC.

A career and social experience facility where children aged 3 to 15 can try a wide range of jobs and services in a city built at roughly two-thirds the size of the real world, learning how society works while having fun.

Inside, pavilions sponsored by real companies line the streets, offering around 100 different job and service experiences. In addition to familiar pavilions also found at KidZania Tokyo and KidZania Fukuoka, KidZania Koshien features many location-exclusive attractions. These include a Specialty Vehicle Design Company, where children design custom trucks such as dump trucks, and a Chocolate Workshop, where they create chocolate art confections.
After completing a job, children receive KidZos-the dedicated in-facility currency-as their salary. They can deposit their earnings at the bank, use them for shopping at the department store, or pay for selected experiences such as horseback riding at the Horse Park, making the experience both fun and educational.

The shopping complex LaLaport Koshien serves as the home to KidZania Koshien with an open time of 10:00am, buy KidZania Koshien is open specially from around 7:30am. Be mindful of parking details, as different parking areas are available depending on the time of arrival.
