“OTOVIVA(オトビバ)” is an indoor theme park for children centered around sounds and musical instruments. It looks like it will be a hands-on facility where kids can experience music while playing🎡 The opening has been set for June.

On the floor map, it’s here↓
It will be next to Shimamura Music on the 2nd floor of LaLaport Koshien. By the way, the hours are said to be 10:00〜20:00.
Who is it perfect for?
It seems to be a theme park aimed at preschoolers through elementary school children. Since it’s indoors, it should be a good option when you want to go out without worrying about the weather.
What kinds of attractions will there be?
There will apparently be 9 types of attractions in total. This time, we’ll give you a quick look at four of them.
Jam Forest
An area set in a forest-like space where kids can freely touch and play instruments growing on the trees. 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, and slide, so it looks like they’ll be able to have fun using their whole bodies.
Otodama Lagoon
A digital ball pit surrounded by sound and light. When you hit the screen with a ball, instruments seem to appear on the screen and make sounds. It looks graphical and fun♪
Doremi Fa Step
A stage where kids can enjoy sounds and lights while walking or stepping on giant piano keys. They can play while moving their bodies here too.
There will also be attractions with names that already sound exciting, such as “Twinkle Garden,” “Joyful Stage,” “Greeting Dan,” “Popping Balloon Beat,” and “Airy Ensemble”🙌
Events will be held every day too
There also seem to be programs where children can enjoy music in ways suited to their age. They’ll apparently be held every day.
First Challenge with Singing and Ukulele
Kids learn simple chords together with the cast and then everyone sings and plays along. It sounds fun even for children touching an instrument for the first time🎸
Instrument-Making Workshop
Kids can make their own original instruments with craft kits🥁 They can take the finished instrument home, so the fun continues after they get back.
Picture Books and Sound Play
A storytelling and sound play event for ages 0〜2📖 Parents and children can enjoy sounds and rhythms together🙌
How much will it cost?
Tickets are scheduled to go on sale around May through “いこーよ” and “アソビュー.” More details are expected to be announced later.
Finally
It looks even more fun than I imagined, and just seeing the concept illustrations already makes it seem pretty impressive. Once it’s actually finished, it feels like it’ll be an even more exciting space😆 When it opens, I’ll want to take my niece there right away. More new information will likely be coming out, so if you’re interested, why not check the official website and social media too?
