As a pre-event to build momentum for the "Minato Ward Art Center" scheduled to open in November 2027 (Reiwa 9), we will be holding "Summer Vacation Sandy Beach Opening" for the second consecutive year, offering free access to "Minato Commons," a space inspired by a sandy beach.

With a wide variety of craft supplies available, children can enjoy their time as they wish, whether it's for "creating free study projects" or "engaging in creative activities in a spacious area." This year, we will also host workshops where participants can build play structures using cardboard and create costumes to transform into sea creatures.
