Mark your calendars for March 21 and 22, as the Kudan Festival 2026 is set to take place at the Kudan Learning Center in Chiyoda City, Tokyo. This year's theme, "Focus", encapsulates the spirit of the event, encouraging participants to engage with one another's activities and reflect on their lifelong learning journeys. Aimed at fostering community involvement, the festival invites individuals from all walks of life to attend and celebrate together!

Mini Courses: Learn and Experience

Alongside the performances, we are offering "mini courses" that capture the essence of our lifelong learning curriculum throughout the year. These sessions are designed to provide a fun and easy way to engage with various topics related to the history of Chiyoda, as well as hands-on activities for families, including crafts and outdoor experiences. The mini courses will be enjoyable for both children and adults alike, featuring an exciting variety of offerings. Some courses require pre-registration via phone or the web, and material fees may apply.
