ANO-NE Kids Club Event Report: Providing Cross-Cultural Exchange and Parental 'Me-Time'

Overview On May 5, 2026, Cosmos Hotel Management, the operator of the apartment hotel 'MIMARU', held a special event at their indoor playground 'ANO-NE Kids Club', which offers temporary childcare services, allowing inbound travelers and children living in Japan to interact.

'ANO-NE Kids Club' leverages the fact that over 80% of MIMARU guests are inbound families with children. The facility provides natural cross-cultural exchange through play for children, and 'free time' for parents to enjoy themselves without concern.

Furthermore, the facility has newly started accepting 'private time rental' reservations, allowing guests to use the space as a private area. It can be used for birthday parties, graduation celebrations, local events, and various other scenes.

Event Report On the day of the event, in addition to physical activities, participants enjoyed English-language picture book readings, origami (making helmets and message cards), and coloring carp streamers. Natural interaction transcending language barriers was observed.

'ANO-NE Kids Club' features an athletic area, a picture book area, and an origami area. From the large windows, children can watch trains passing by, creating a space where children can spend time at their own pace while interacting naturally.

New Value: 'Me-Time' for Parents While the children were having fun, parents enjoyed 'adult-only time' such as shopping, strolling, and dining in the Ginza area. Participants commented, 'I was able to enjoy my own time without guilt knowing my child was having fun in a safe environment.'
