Experience the Thrill of Heavy Machinery with 'Car Iku'

On November 30, 2025, the innovative temporary childcare program "Car Iku" will debut in the Kansai area at the Seikogyo Sakai office, a unique collaboration between Asuiku Corporation and Hitachi Construction Machinery. This event aims to introduce young children to the world of heavy machinery through hands-on experiences that ignite their curiosity and passion for working vehicles.

A Groundbreaking Collaboration with Hitachi Construction

Asuiku Corporation, headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has been pioneering a blend of temporary childcare with exciting experiences through their series such as "Eki Iku" and "Taka Iku" since the fall of 2023. By partnering with railways and commercial facilities, they have successfully created opportunities for children to engage with society while learning and growing through their interests. The "Car Iku" program, launched in October 2023, marks the beginning of a creative collaboration with Hitachi Construction Machinery, one of Japan's leading manufacturers of construction equipment. With this project, Asuiku aims to provide children with enriching experiences that showcase the excitement of heavy machinery and the vital roles these vehicles play in everyday work.

A Special Event Tailored for Young Participants

The inaugural "Car Iku" event in Kansai will be held at Seikogyo, a company based in Osaka that operates across various sectors including construction and real estate. This event offers children the thrilling chance to get up close to excavators and unic trucks. They will not only sit in the driver's seat but also take on the challenge of operating the equipment's arms. A special highlight is the exclusive opportunity to ride on a limited-edition Hanshin Tigers-themed excavator, perfectly suited for Tigers fans and young vehicle enthusiasts alike.

Participants will also receive a unique keepsake: an original Tomica model toy from Hitachi Construction Machinery. This collectible allows children to cherish their memorable experiences long after the event concludes.

While the kids enjoy their thrilling adventures, parents can relax and indulge in shopping, cafe visits, or exploring the area, assured that childcare professionals will take good care of their children.
