Join Us for an Unforgettable Family Experience at Toyosu

The Toyosu Parent-Child Traffic Safety Festival 2026, sponsored by Koto City, is an engaging event set for March 31, 2026, at the Toyosu Cultural Center's first floor gallery. Tailored for families with toddlers aged 0-2, this interactive event combines fun and learning about traffic safety, bringing together local police, libraries, and bicycle-related companies.

Event Overview

This annual festival aims to raise awareness about traffic safety right before the new school year. As more families prepare to embark on their journeys with electric assist bicycles designed for children, this event is essential in ensuring that they travel safely. This year's festival marks the third edition, and features exciting, hands-on experiences for parents and children alike.

Thanks to collaboration with Fukagawa Police Station and Toyosu Library, the festival provides a fun atmosphere where families can learn traffic rules and safety awareness through interactive content.

Why This Event Matters

Every April sees a surge of parents returning to work after parental leave, many of whom are new to riding bicycles, especially electric assist models. This can be daunting for those who haven't ridden in years. The festival serves as a platform for parents to gain knowledge and practical experiences, ensuring safe commuting starts from day one. Moreover, the upcoming implementation of the "Blue Ticket System" for traffic violations concerning bicycles in April 2026 makes this event even more crucial for parents and guardians.

Exciting Activities

• - Experience and Display Booths: Families will have the chance to actively engage with new products. This section of the festival allows parents to consult with manufacturers on choosing the best products for their children, which are typically only accessible through retailers.

• - Hands-On Sessions: Attendees can test ride the latest electric bicycles and child seats at the booths run by top manufacturers like OGK Giken, OGK Kabuto, and Yamaha Motor Sales. Children can also experience getting on and off the bicycles safely.

• - Stage Events: Families can participate in rhythmic games that teach traffic rules, a safe riding workshop conducted by YAMAHA, and informative sessions with police about bicycle regulations, including the new blue ticket system.

• - Mat Space Activities: A dedicated area for measuring children's head sizes to find the perfect helmet, storytelling sessions from volunteers at Toyosu Library, and even a crawling race with participation prizes will engage the youngest attendees.

• - Workshops: Families can join creative workshops for naptime art and handprint art at no cost, with advance reservations recommended.

• - Quiz Rally: Registered participants can join a fun quiz that reinforces traffic rules and win prizes from bicycle manufacturers!
