The Life Science Center (affectionately known as Sainokuni Kurashi Plaza) is an nationally rare "experiential consumer education facility" located in SKIP City, Kawaguchi City, where visitors can learn about money and daily life in an enjoyable way. This time, we have decided to hold a monitoring event with the goal of renovating and reopening the facility in fiscal year 2028.

On the day of the event, participants will experience the "Video Theater" and "Exhibition Attractions," which are highly praised by school teachers and others. We want to hear your honest opinions to achieve a more "real and effective experience" and "child-friendly attractions" for your children.

Furthermore, at the finale of the event, a performance parade using recycled instruments will be held with three professional musicians. Even small children can participate and enjoy themselves. It's a packed event, so please come and join us!
