Kidzania Tokyo

ALWAYS a great time!! If you’re going for the first time HIGHLY recommend a weekday when the Japanese are not off. Saturdays are “Hunger Games” fierce and can be overwhelming. A marketing and PR experience this “city for kids” is a great way to teach kids important life lessons and have fun. Morning or evening shift there are over 108 options with them being rotated periodically, 6-7 in English daily, with half in English on Wednesdays. There’s English speaking staff to assist and curated English experiences you can reserve. We’ve been coming for 8 years and my 2nd kid is enjoying his new adventures.

For English Speakers. Wednesday is the English day so majority of the staff will speak English. Not everyday they have English speaking staff, however you may be lucky with some of the staff. This a like a park where kids can try out different types of jobs and will get kidzania funds where they can use that to spend on gifts or other activities. This is a very thought out and great for kids in Elementary school. They do have sessions for older kids but definitely more suited for the younger. If it isn't crowded you can get 5 or 6 session within one session. If it is crowded you may only get 3 or 4. The staff are extremely helpful to the kids and very patients. Gotta applaud the staff and how much effort they put in to teach the kids and lead them. Tips for first timers. Have your kids schedule an appointment on popular activity first such as first responder, fire fighter, police, pizza, and drivers license. Overall, great for elementary school kids. A fun time for the kids and well laid out.

A Must-Do for Families in Tokyo! Our visit to KidZania Tokyo was an absolute highlight for our family. We have three children (10, 8, and 4), and every single one of them had a blast and loved every job they tried. The attention to detail in the miniature city is just incredible. We specifically went on an "English Wednesday," which I can't recommend highly enough for visiting families. The staff were phenomenal—so patient, energetic, and amazing with the kids. We were thrilled to find there were many fluent English speakers available who helped our children feel comfortable and fully engaged in all the activities. A few tips for your visit: Get there early to check in and maximize your time. You should definitely plan to stay for the whole shift, as the time flies by. My understanding of the booking system is that you can pre-register for one or two popular jobs, as long as their times don't overlap. The best strategy is to fill the waiting time between your booked sessions with the many jobs that don't require a reservation. This way, the kids are always busy and having fun. It was a fantastic, well-organized, and memorable day for everyone!

Great attraction kids really loved this place. Well though out and well run activities. We booked the Wednesday which is the English speaking day but were a bit dissapointed that approx 50% of the jobs were not in English. My sons first job was on the Komatsu bulldozer with 3 other English speaking kids and 1 Japanese kid, and there was only a Japanese speaking staff member. My son and the other 2 kids had to read instructions on a card and understand by sign language. After this we realised it's only English speaking if there is an "E" on that job. This ruled out about 50% of the jobs. It was still a good place to take the kids a day they really liked it.
