It Looks Amazing
The entrance↓
A colorful and pop-style entrance. It already looks exciting before you even go in〜😍
Overall map↓
The space is about 160 tsubo. There are all kinds of play areas, and it looks fun just to look at😆
Where Will It Be?
On the floor map, it’s here↓
It will be next to Shimamura Music on the 2nd floor of LaLaport Koshien. By the way, business hours are said to be 10:00〜20:00.
Who Is It Perfect For?
It seems to be a theme park aimed at children from preschool age through elementary school. Since it’s indoors, it should be a good option when you want to go out without worrying about the weather〜
What Kind of Attractions Will There Be?
There will apparently be 9 types of attractions in total. This time, we’ll give you a quick peek at four of them〜
Jam Forest
An area set in a forest-like space where kids can freely touch instruments growing on the trees and make sounds. They can reach for the instruments that catch their eye and discover the fun of sound through play〜
OTOVIVA Slider
A slide shaped like a bright red grand piano. Kids can climb, crawl through, slide, and have fun using their whole bodies〜
Otodama Lagoon
A digital ball pool surrounded by sound and light. It looks like when you hit the screen with a ball, instruments appear on the screen and make sounds. It seems graphical and fun♪
Doremi Fa Step
A stage where kids can enjoy sounds and lights while walking or stepping on a giant keyboard. They can play here while moving their bodies too〜
Other attractions with exciting-sounding names are also set to appear, including “Twinkle Garden,” “Joyful Stage,” “Greeting Dan,” “Popping Balloon Beat,” and “Airy Ensemble”🙌
Events Every Day Too
There also seem to be programs where children can enjoy music according to their age. They’re apparently held every day〜
First Challenge with Singing and Ukulele
Kids learn simple chords together with the cast and sing while playing as a group. It seems enjoyable even for children touching an instrument for the first time🎸
Instrument-Making Workshop
Kids can make their own original instruments using a craft kit🥁 Apparently, they can take the finished instrument home, so they can keep playing with it after they get back〜
Picture Books and Sound Play
A storytelling and sound play event for ages 0–2📖 Parents and children should be able to enjoy sounds and rhythms together🙌
How Much Will It Cost?
Tickets are planned to go on sale around May through “いこーよ” and “アソビュー.” Details will apparently be announced later〜
Final Thoughts
It looks even more fun than I imagined, and just seeing the concept illustrations makes it seem pretty amazing. Once it’s actually complete, it looks like it’ll be an even more exciting space😆 When it opens, I already feel like taking my niece there right away〜. More new information will probably be coming out, so if you’re interested, why not check the official website and social media too〜
