A Family Looking for a Place to Play in Kyoto Visits AriHana Kyoto

category customer's opinions

Yesterday, a family from New Zealand visited AriHana Kyoto during their trip.

Their 2-year-old son was a little shy when he first arrived. A new place and new people can be a little scary for young children. But with his parents nearby, he soon felt comfortable and started moving around and playing freely in our indoor playground.

While their son was playing, his parents took turns trying origami for the first time. Each time they finished a piece, they looked happy and surprised that they had made it themselves.

It was lovely to see the whole family enjoying simple traditional Japanese play together, without having to rush.

After their visit, they sent us a message saying that it had been “a very lovely time together as a family.”

We were very happy to hear that.

And just before they left, their little boy gave us a big smile. Seeing him so relaxed and happy at the end of his visit made us smile too.

We hope AriHana Kyoto can be a small but special part of your family trip to Kyoto.

Q. Can young children enjoy AriHana Kyoto?

A. Yes. AriHana Kyoto is an indoor playground where children can play at their own pace. Parents can stay close and play with them, too. We have traditional Japanese games and activities that children of different ages can enjoy with their families.
