Maizuru City Child-Rearing Exchange Facility Asobiamu (Hama, Maizuru City) will host the spring special exhibition "¿???~Hatena Hatena~," an experiential event designed to spark children's curiosity and imagination, from Friday, April 24, Reiwa 8 (2026) to Wednesday, May 6.
Since its opening in 2015, Maizuru City Child-Rearing Exchange Facility Asobiamu has regularly held special exhibitions. This will be the seventh spring special exhibition.
This exhibition is designed as an experiential event from Asobiamu's unique perspective, addressing children's feelings of "why?" and "how?" The aim is to foster children's curiosity and imagination through play centered on the concept of "?".
During the period, the facility will be divided into the following five zones, with permanent "?" themed activities:
-
【Empathy Zone】: Corners such as "Hatena Kotoba" where children express their "?" in writing.
-
【Brain Zone】: Corners such as "Are kana? Kore kana?" (Is it this? Is it that?) and "Irokoma" (Color Tops) that encourage thinking.
-
【Conversation Zone】: An area where "?" is resolved through conversation.
-
【Five Senses Zone】: Corners such as "Kieru Iro" (Disappearing Colors) and "Nani Nani BOX" (What's in the Box?) where children play using their five senses: sight, hearing, touch, etc.
-
【Experience Zone】: Corners such as "Sen o Kanjiru" (Feeling the Line) where children feel "?" by moving their bodies or imitating actions.
Additionally, a play corner by the NPO "Maizuru YuBixS" will also be held (Sunday, April 26, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM).
Further details about this event will be announced sequentially on Maizuru City's website and other platforms.
