What this is
Hills Workshop for Kids is an interactive educational workshop series held across multiple Hills shopping complexes in Tokyo during the summer holidays. Children take center stage as the entire venue transforms into a hands-on learning playground, with activities designed to engage young minds through creative and experiential learning. The 2026 edition spans four Hills locations, making it a city-wide summer event rather than a single-venue affair. It is a recurring summer programme that has become a popular fixture for families looking for structured, enriching activities during the school break.
Who should go
This event is ideal for families with young children who want to combine a day out at a well-known Tokyo landmark with educational, hands-on fun. The interactive format means kids are active participants rather than passive observers, making it well-suited to energetic and curious children. Parents will appreciate the structured setting within a safe, air-conditioned shopping complex โ a welcome relief during Tokyo's hot and humid July. Check the official Hills website in advance to confirm which specific workshops are available at each location and whether pre-registration is required.
Good to know
Roppongi Hills is a large, well-signposted complex โ pick up a venue map at the information desk on arrival to locate the workshop areas quickly. Some workshops at Hills events require advance registration via the official Mori Building or Hills website, so check before you go as walk-in spots may be limited. The complex is entirely indoors and air-conditioned, making it a comfortable choice for a hot July day in Tokyo. Foreign visitors will find English signage throughout Roppongi Hills, and staff at the information desk can generally assist in basic English. Cash is accepted at most in-venue shops and cafes, though IC cards and major credit cards are increasingly accepted across the complex.
