About this event
The 14th Goka Children's Center Childcare Support Festa, held at the Goka Nishi Children's Center in Motokurihashi, Goka Town, Ibaraki Prefecture, is a participatory event for families. Commemorating the 30th anniversary of the town organization of Goka Town this year, the children's center will transform into a one-day amusement park. There will be craft corners to make 'Petrium' and 'Pinecone Trees' together with students from Saitama Junshin Junior College, as well as an 'Exciting Game Center!' featuring handmade games such as ball rolling and table hockey. Additionally, the 'Aim for 1st Place!' races, ranging from baby crawling races to parent-child races, will help create lasting memories tracking children's growth. In celebration of Goka Town's 30th anniversary, there will also be a 'Giant Art Creation' where everyone paints a large rainbow using handprints, and a special 'Commemorative Photo Booth'. Collecting 'Happy Stickers' through crafts, games, and races allows entry into the 'Gokarin Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament' against the town's popular mascot character Gokarin, with luxury prizes and participation gifts available. Local gourmet food from food trucks such as Michi-no-Eki Goka will also be available. Admission is free, but advance entry is required for some events.
