Out of KidZania vocational programs in Japan

Overview

The “Out of KidZania” vocational experience programs, supervised by KCJ GROUP, are scheduled for late 2026 in Saga and Fukushima prefectures. These programs allow elementary and junior high school students to engage in real-world work experiences to foster career education and regional interest.

In Saga Prefecture, the “SAGA × Out of KidZania 2026” event will be held on November 7 and 8 in Taku City at the Saga Prefectural Industrial Technology Institute. It will feature 42 activities, including traditional industries like Arita ware, Morotomi furniture, and Ozaki dolls, as well as roles such as bus drivers and hairdressers. Participants will earn a dedicated currency called ‘Saga’ to use at designated shops. Applications for this free event open via a lottery system on September 1, 2026.

In Fukushima Prefecture, the program has expanded to include two distinct editions. The “Out of KidZania in Shirakawa” will take place on October 10–11, offering 29 job types such as dairy farming, leatherworking, and electrical engineering; participants will earn a local currency named ‘Daruma’ for use at the Shirakawa City Industrial Festival. Following this, the “Out of KidZania in Aizu” is scheduled for November 14–15, featuring 29 experiences including traditional Japanese confectionery making, firefighting, and clinical laboratory work.
