Launching Hapi-Ikku Event in Gunma

The Asuiku Corporation, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is excited to announce the first-ever ‘Hapi-Ikku’ event, which will take place at the commercial facility ‘Smark Isesaki’ in Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture. Scheduled for September 12 and 13, 2026, this initiative is designed to provide parents of young children with a refreshing break while their kids engage in fun and educational activities.

#### About Hapi-Ikku
The ‘Hapi-Ikku’ service by Asuiku aims to create a relaxing shopping and dining experience for parents by offering temporary childcare services in collaboration with various commercial venues. With over 90% satisfaction reported from past users, parents can enjoy shopping and leisure, knowing their children are well cared for in a safe environment.

The children will be engaged in sensory and educational play, catered to different age groups, under the supervision of experienced childcare professionals. Through a special care space, young ones can enjoy playtime with friends and caregivers, while parents can unwind knowing their children are in good hands. The interactions and activities are documented and shared through photo updates sent via LINE, enhancing peace of mind for parents.

Ultimately, the goal of Asuiku is to increase parental happiness by allowing kids to have fun while providing parents with choice and freedom—transforming the time spent apart into joyful reunions.

#### Hapi-Ikku Event Details
The event will be hosted at Smark Isesaki, one of the largest suburban shopping complexes in North Kanto, featuring around 160 stores and a welcoming atmosphere for families. This inaugural ‘Hapi-Ikku’ event promises to be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

Parents wanting to shop freely can take advantage of time slots that allow flexible childcare. For just 500 yen per 30 minutes, parents can enjoy a worry-free shopping experience, with the opportunity to have up to 2 hours of complimentary childcare if they spend over 5,000 yen in the facility.

Engage in unique workshops and sensory activities that aren’t typically available at home while your child is entertained by skilled childcare providers. For parents, this combination not only provides joy but also precious time for self-care.
