Implementation Period: May 2, 2026 (Sat) – May 6, 2026 (Wed, Holiday)
Ikedaya Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture; President: Kazuhisa Nagaoka; hereinafter "Ikedaya") and KCJ GROUP Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Michinari Tsurutani; hereinafter "KCJ GROUP"), which plans and operates the children's occupational and social experience facility "KidZania," will open a limited-time "Randoseru Workshop" pavilion at "KidZania Fukuoka" (Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture) from May 2, 2026 (Sat) to May 6, 2026 (Wed, Holiday). This marks the first time the event will be held at KidZania Fukuoka.
The "Randoseru Workshop," an annual tradition at KidZania Koshien, is coming to KidZania Fukuoka for a limited time during Golden Week.
In this pavilion, children will act as "Randoseru Craftsmen," learning about the history, techniques, and spirit of Japanese manufacturing embedded in randoseru. They will use the same tools as professional craftsmen to create a miniature randoseru, approximately 1/10th the size of the real thing. Children who have participated at KidZania Koshien have shared comments such as, "Through this experience, I was able to connect with the feelings of the craftsmen," and "It made me want to take better care of my own randoseru."
Ikedaya and KCJ GROUP hope that through this experience, children—who will lead the future—will learn that randoseru are carefully crafted through professional techniques, the importance of preparation, and the accumulation of ingenuity, while also deepening their interest in manufacturing.
