"Kidzania Tokyo" is a vocational and social experience facility for children aged 3 to 15. Sponsored by actual companies, they can experience a variety of authentic jobs and services.

The concept of Kidzania is "edutainment" which is a combination of "education" and "entertainment". One of the attractions of this program is that children can try their favorite jobs and learn the about structure of society while having fun.

Kidzania has its own currency called "Kidzos", and when a job is completed, you receive Kidzos as your paycheck at the end. (The amount of kidzos you can receive varies depending on your job.)

You can also use Kidzos to spend on services and shopping within the facility, or deposit them in the bank, allowing you to have a real world experiences using Kidzos within the facility.
