Kidzania Tokyo's Stock Exchange Pavilion

In an exciting initiative to foster financial literacy among children, Kidzania Tokyo, in collaboration with the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), is set to open a limited-time Stock Exchange Pavilion from July 22 to July 28, 2025. This pavilion is part of Kidzania's summer program themed 'Connecting to the Future of Finance and Economy.'

The Experience

At the Stock Exchange Pavilion, children will step into the shoes of entrepreneurs, learning about the mechanics of an Initial Public Offering (IPO). They will go through the entire process of creating the necessary documents for listing on the stock exchange, submitting their applications, and eventually celebrating their company's public debut. This hands-on experience culminates with the ringing of the 'Listing Bell,' a traditional salute to new companies entering the market.

The primary goal of this initiative, driven by TSE and KCJ Group, is to help children understand the fundamentals of finance and economics, empowering them with essential financial literacy skills that will benefit their futures.

• - Occupation Role: Entrepreneur
• - Capacity: 6 participants per session
• - Session Length: Approximately 30 minutes
• - Compensation: 10 KidZos (Kidzania's currency)
• - Outcome: Each child will receive a listing notification certificate after their experience.
