[July 8, 2026] Hilton Narita (Narita City, Chiba Prefecture; General Manager: Hisao Shinozuka) will hold a "Hands-on Kids Program" from Sunday, July 19, 2026, to Sunday, August 30, 2026, combining experiential programs for children with hotel dining.

This program is an event where children can experience hotel work and food culture through interaction with hotel professionals and hands-on experience in cooking and service. We offer a variety of age-appropriate programs, including sushi chefs, patissiers, pizza chefs, and bartenders. Chefs and service staff will serve as instructors for each session, and certificates of completion will be awarded after the experience. The program allows participants to learn not only cooking and service techniques but also about ingredients, science, and hotel hospitality, making it a great resource for summer vacation research projects.
