Recruitment for 'Hankyu Hanshin Yume-Machi Challenge Squad 2026'

Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group is recruiting participants for the 'Hankyu Hanshin Yume-Machi Challenge Squad 2026,' an experiential learning program for elementary school students during the summer break from July 18 to August 22. This initiative, which began in 2010, has attracted over 190,000 applicants to date. This year, 37 types of programs will be offered, including depot tours for Hankyu and Hanshin Railways, cooking experiences at the Takarazuka Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton Osaka, and new activities like staff experiences at Takarazuka Revue shops and media production. Additionally, the new 'Job Bingo' allows children to learn about various professions by finding jobs listed on bingo cards throughout the city. Bingo cards will be available at major stations starting July 18, allowing anyone to participate without prior application. We hope this program inspires elementary students to explore various careers and think about their future dreams.
