What this is
Tomica and Plarail are two of Japan's most beloved children's toy brands โ miniature die-cast cars and snap-together train sets that have been staples of Japanese childhoods for decades. This exhibition at Aeon Mall Kobe Kita brings both together with interactive displays and hands-on workshops where kids can engage directly with the toys rather than just look at them.
Who should go
Families with young children, especially those aged 2โ8 who are already fans of trains or toy cars. Not really aimed at adults without kids.
