On Tuesday February 12th and Wednesday February 13th there is a pop up “Plarail World” at Shiki’s children’s center on the 3rd floor of the Sougou Fukushi center. Each day it is on for one hour.

This event is open to children younger than school going age who must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. There will be dozens of plarail and tomica trains, tracks and cars. It is a free event. The center is also free to use.

The event is only on for an hour, but the children’s center is open from 9 am to 5 pm most days. This month (February) the centre will close for a day on bank holiday Monday, the 11th. It is not a particularly large “jidokan”, the Japanese word for public free play centres such as this one, but it has play areas inside and out on the veranda too.

Access

The center is quite far from any station. The east exit of Shiki Station is a thirty one minute walk away. Tsuruse station east exit is about 36 minutes walk. From Mizuhodai station east exit it is approximately a 39 minute walk.
