This plan, which combines unique hotel work experiences with learning through collaboration with local facilities, is a popular summer program that receives positive feedback from many families every year. A key feature of this program is the opportunity to learn about "working" and "hospitality" through an overnight stay, set in the actual environment of hotel operations.

What is the popular Kids Program, now in its 11th year?

This year marks the 11th anniversary of the highly popular "Summer Kids Program."

This will be the first time it is held since rebranding from Hotel Wing to KOKO HOTEL. It has been a popular event, with nearly 300 children participating to date, sometimes even generating a waiting list. It has become an annual event that brings smiles to participating children, parents, and staff alike.

Summer holidays are a time to look forward to where to go and what to do. This year, how about an experiential accommodation plan where you can have various experiences in Tokyo?

Our hotel's "Kids Program" is an accommodation plan that helps with school homework and free research, allowing children to learn while having fun. Our staff also return to their childlike hearts, constantly refining the program each year to make it a fun learning experience and a memorable summer holiday.

Memories experienced and felt during a curious age are "treasures" that do not fade even in adulthood. The hotel where the family stayed, the work experienced there, the fun events, and what the hotel staff taught them might become one of their future career choices.

Even for families who find it difficult to travel far, this summer program allows them to enjoy both "learning" and "creating memories" within Tokyo.

(2) Kids Activity Program 2026

This program allows parents and children to stay at the hotel and experience various activities within the hotel over two days, including hotel work experience, cooking classes, and table manners.

Starting with an "induction ceremony" that makes children feel like adults, they will experience hotel staff duties such as bed making, check-in procedures for welcoming guests, and a back-office tour exploring every corner of the hotel.

In the cooking class led by a chef, children will challenge themselves to make focaccia. They will be taught recipes and tips for delicious cooking that can be practiced at home with parents. During the enjoyable dinner time, a table manners class will also be held by a popular instructor who has been featured on TV. Parents and children can enjoy a delicious dinner while learning how to use forks and knives. After dinner, children who worked hard all day will receive a fun time and a festival corner as a gift from the hotel.
