A Memorable Family Visit from Switzerland – Discover Traditional Japanese Play in Kyoto

category customer's opinions

We recently had a wonderful family visiting us all the way from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Their 4-year-old daughter especially loved origami and building with wooden blocks, while their 1-year-old son enjoyed exploring picture books and traditional Japanese toys like daruma otoshi. Even the parents joined in the fun—trying kendama, daruma otoshi, and tosengyo, and truly immersing themselves in Japanese traditional play. They loved the experience so much that they even took some toys home as souvenirs!

Time flew by until their next schedule, and we were so happy to hear their daughter say, “I want to keep playing!”—a heartwarming moment for us.

AriHana Kyoto is an indoor play space located near Kiyomizu-dera Temple, offering children and families a unique opportunity to experience traditional Japanese culture through hands-on activities such as origami, calligraphy, and classic Japanese games.

Perfect for:
• Family-friendly activities in Kyoto
• Kids’ indoor playground near Kiyomizu-dera
• Cultural experiences in Kyoto for children
• Things to do in Kyoto on rainy or hot days
• Making unforgettable family travel memories in Japan

No reservation required—feel free to stop by anytime! You can also book in advance via our website if you prefer.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to experience the charm of Japanese culture together.
