The event was held at the e-Stadium Namba main store over two days, and we had the special opportunity to visit the session on the 24th!

The Children’s Expo in Namba is an experiential event aimed at fostering children’s self-esteem and independence through diverse content, allowing them to enjoy free-thinking and creativity.

This is the “e-Sports Field Day” experience booth.

Using the globally popular online game “Fortnite,” this booth featured live commentary by professionals.

Set on an original map recreating Osaka’s Dotonbori area, the gameplay involved capture-the-flag style matches. Children communicated with each other as they played, and sometimes teams of children faced off against teams of adults in heated online battles!

This is the “Roblox Experience” booth.

Participants could play a firefighting time-attack game in the popular game “Roblox” and enjoy the experience of being a firefighter.

This is the “Dream Drawing” and “Generative AI Experience” booth.

Children drew pictures of what they wanted to challenge or used generative AI to complete their drawings, turning their free imagination into tangible forms.

At the “Children’s Festival” booth, children who applied for the “Child Store Manager Experience” gathered and began their orientation.
After receiving instructions, the children started preparing at their respective stalls.
The “Children’s Festival” booth was also bustling with many visitors.
The children serving as store managers actively helped with tasks like handing out tickets and explaining game rules.
At the end, a “Child Store Manager Certificate” was issued, and the children received it with big smiles.

Although only a portion of the event was introduced here, every booth was a great success, filled with children’s smiles and sometimes serious expressions during gameplay!

According to the organizers, another event will be held!

Why not enjoy the Children’s Expo with your child?

Currently, an event is being held in Konohana Ward, Osaka City, until October 13, 2025!
