"Mom, I'm off!" Sold Out Every Time, 11th Event Held. Two Hours for Parents and Children to Enjoy "Separately" in Ise Again This Year

Ise, Mie Prefecture – The photo studio "torch" in Ise City, Mie Prefecture, will hold its popular "Job Experience" event, which sells out every time, for the 11th time this summer vacation.

This year's theme is "K-POP," which was popular last year.

While summer vacation means more time with children, many parents feel they want to "give them new experiences," "create memories," and "have some time for themselves occasionally."

Therefore, torch proposes a new way to spend summer vacation where parents and children spend a little time "separately."

Children will challenge themselves with job experiences as models and photographers with the staff.

Meanwhile, parents can visit Ise Jingu Shrine, stroll through Okage Yokocho,

or relax at a cafe.

Time for children to challenge themselves.

Time for parents to reclaim a little bit of themselves.

We deliver approximately two hours where both parents and children can smile.

"I did it by myself!" will be the best memory of this summer.

At the event, children will transform into their favorite K-POP idols with hair and makeup, and coordination by beauty staff.

They will not only experience being a model but also try their hand at being a photographer with a real camera.

Spending about two hours away from their parents, with the staff.

The experience of thinking for themselves, challenging themselves, and seeing it through to the end

leads to the confidence of "I did it by myself!"

At the end, they will receive an "toy ticket" as their salary.

It is a popular program where children can experience the joy of working and expressing themselves while playing.

A big transformation with hair and makeup. A summer vacation like being on the cover of a magazine

At the event, hair and makeup are done, and costumes are coordinated to suit each child.

They will enjoy posing for photos as models.

After the experience, in addition to cute photo data, optional original design data imagining the cover of a magazine or fashion magazine can be added.

You can take home both "memories of the experience" and "memories that remain in tangible form."

For parents, a "2-hour summer vacation" in Ise

Parents do not need to wait at the studio during the event.

You can visit Ise Jingu Shrine, enjoy eating and walking in Okage Yokocho, or choose souvenirs.

Especially during summer vacation, when you usually spend time centered around your children, you can enjoy a little time just for yourself.

And then it's time for pickup.

The moment you reunite with your child, who has a slightly proud expression, is also an important memory of this event.

Participant Feedback

We were happy to receive many positive comments from families who participated last year.

"I was nervous at first, but when I went to pick her up, she said with a smile, 'I want to do it again!'"

"I was worried if she could participate alone, but the staff were all very kind and reassuring, so I felt comfortable leaving her with them."

"I was able to take my time walking around Okage Yokocho and have tea for the first time in a while. It was a summer vacation treat for me as a parent too."

"My daughter was thrilled with the magazine-like design! Our whole family has looked at it many times."

Staff Comments

"The purpose of this event is not just to become a model.

We started it with the desire for children to be separated from their parents for a little while, challenge themselves, and feel a sense of accomplishment by saying, 'I did it by myself!'

We also hope that parents can enjoy a little time just for themselves at Ise Jingu Shrine or Okage Yokocho.

Because we spend time separately, when we pick them up, we can reunite feeling as if we have both grown a little.

We want to deliver such summer vacation memories to many families again this year."
