Yodobashi Dai 4's Secret?

My cousin, who lives nearby, said the school has this amazing, almost legendary, after-school program, some kinda super unique blend of traditional Japanese arts and modern tech stuff. He wouldn't spill the beans, just kept saying it's "next level" and to "ask around". Anyone know what this program actually entails? Is it as cool as he made it sound? I'm really curious to check it out if possible...

Honestly, the "legendary" part is mostly local hype, but there's a real core to it. The program has a partnership with a small robotics lab in Kichijoji, so the kids sometimes work on actual prototype designs, not just school projects. If you're really curious, the school holds an open culture festival every November, but since you're going next month, you might miss it. Try asking at the Nakano Ward Office's education desk, they might know if any of the kids' work is on display at a community center nearby.

Sounds pretty awesome! Your cousin's being cagey, huh? It's probably not something officially advertised, more of a local thing. I'd suggest just casually chatting with parents picking up kids from Yodobashi Dai 4 after school. Mention your cousin hinted at a really cool program and see what they say. Japanese people are usually pretty happy to talk about their kids' activities. You might get lucky and find out what's up, or at least get pointed in the right direction. Good luck! Hope it lives up to the hype.

I live a few stops away in Shinjuku and have heard bits about this. The program isn't a secret, it's just not marketed to tourists. It's an after-school club called "Mirai no Kobo" that pairs traditional crafts like kintsugi with basic robotics workshops. Last I heard, they were using old tea bowls to teach kids how to repair them with lacquer and then mount simple LED circuits inside the cracks. You'd probably need a local connection to sit in, but the school's open during certain cultural festivals. Check the bulletin board outside the main gate, they sometimes post public viewing dates.

Best aquarium in Tokyo 2026: Ocean Center worth it?

fmd_goodOcean Center · #aquarium
We're thinking of taking the kids to Ocean Center this month, but I tweaked my back lifting the stroller and need to see someone first. Any recs for a clinic near Shinagawa that takes national health… We're thinking of taking the kids to Ocean Center this month, but I tweaked my back lifting the stroller and need to see someone first. Any recs for a clinic near Shinagawa that takes national health insurance, and what a walk-in visit usually runs? Also, is the aquarium actually worth the ticket price in 2026 or should we just do Sunshine Aquarium instead?
