[KidZania Tokyo] Morinaga & Co. Exhibited "Confectionery Factory" Pavilion to Undergo Complete Renewal on July 14, 2026 (Tuesday), Second Session

KCJ GROUP Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Michinari Enkura; hereinafter referred to as KCJ GROUP), which plans and operates the children's vocational and social experience facility "KidZania," announced that the "Confectionery Factory" pavilion (hereinafter referred to as "this pavilion"), exhibited by Morinaga & Co., Ltd., at "KidZania Tokyo" (Koto-ku, Tokyo) will reopen after a complete renewal on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, during the second session (starting at 4:00 PM).

In addition to the experience of making sweets that children have become familiar with at this pavilion since the opening of "KidZania Tokyo" in 2006, a new element of learning about the product development history will be added. Concurrently, the exterior and interior of the pavilion, as well as the flavors of the sweets to be manufactured and the package designs, will be completely renewed.

At this pavilion, children will work as "Confectionery Factory Staff." After learning about the history and knowledge of the sweets they are about to make, they will use both handcrafting and machinery to create spiral-patterned sweets. They will also conduct foreign object contamination checks, learning about food safety. Finally, they will be able to take home the completed sweets in original packaging bearing their own names.

Through the experience at this pavilion, KCJ GROUP hopes that children will learn about the joy of manufacturing and the importance of food safety and security, while also experiencing feelings of "deliciousness," "comfort," and "fun" through their five senses, and that these experiences will contribute to their healthy growth.
