Kids' Candy Viking at Ariake Garden: July 18-19, 2026

The "Kids' Candy Viking" event will be held at Ariake Garden for two days, from July 18th to July 19th, 2026. This event celebrates "Chikugashi Day" (July 19th) and marks the first-ever buffet-style experiential event of its kind.

The Joy of Choosing and Creating Your Own Candy

Participants can select five different "chikugashi" (educational sweets) from approximately 20 varieties and enjoy the process of making and eating them on the spot. This event aims to fulfill children's curiosity not only through the fun of creation but also the pleasure of choosing their own sweets, promising a special summer memory.

The venue is the Central Atrium Plaza on the 2nd floor of the mall, offering an indoor space unaffected by weather conditions. The event is designed for children aged 3 and above, with each session limited to 32 participants and a maximum of five sessions per day. The total duration for each session, including check-in, selection, and cleanup, is 60 minutes.

Participation and Fees

Participation requires advance booking via the official reservation form. The participation fee is 719 yen (tax included), payable at the reception on the day of the event. The venue accepts payment via two-dimensional barcodes. Due to anticipated high demand, selection may be made by lottery. Attendees with allergies should be aware that some "chikugashi" may contain allergens; details are available on the official website.

Free Content Available

In addition to the main candy-making experience, attendees can also enjoy a new product tasting corner and panel exhibits free of charge. These attractions do not require advance reservation and are planned to be available within the event area, making it a full day of fun for families.
