What is the popular Kids Program, now in its 11th year?
This year marks the 11th anniversary of the highly popular 'Summer Vacation Kids Program.'
This will be the first time it is held since rebranding from Hotel Wing to KOKO HOTEL. To date, nearly 300 children have participated, and it has become such a popular event that there are often waiting lists. It is an annual event that brings smiles to participating children, parents, and staff alike.
Summer vacation is a time of anticipation, wondering where to go and what to do. How about an experiential accommodation plan in Tokyo this year, offering various experiences?
Our hotel's 'Kids Program' is an accommodation plan where children can learn happily while playing, which is also useful for school homework and independent research projects. Our staff also return to their childlike spirits, constantly refining the program each year to make it a fun learning experience and a memorable summer vacation.
Memories of experiences felt during curious childhood years become 'treasures' that never fade, even in adulthood. The hotel where the family stayed, the work experienced there, the enjoyable events, and what the hotel staff taught them might even become one of their future career choices.
Even for families who find it difficult to travel far, this summer vacation project allows them to combine 'learning' and 'memory-making' within Tokyo.
