At this pavilion, children will learn about the history, techniques, and passion behind Japanese craftsmanship embodied in randoseru as "Randoseru Craftsmen." They will use the same tools as real craftsmen to create mini-randoseru, approximately 1/10 the size of actual ones. Children who experienced this at KidZania Koshien have commented, "Through the experience, I was able to feel the spirit of the craftsmen," and "I decided to cherish my own randoseru even more."

Ikeda-ya and KCJ GROUP hope that through this experience, children, who will lead the future, will learn about the unique skills of craftsmen, the importance of preparation, and how randoseru are carefully made through continuous ingenuity, thereby deepening their interest in manufacturing.
