＜What is kiond?

Kerzok Co., Ltd. operates 43 family amusement facilities, including indoor amusement parks, in the Kanto, Tokai, and Kansai areas, with the aim of "bringing smiles and happiness to families in their precious moments". For some time, the company has wanted to provide not only "fun" but also learning and awareness experiences through play, and also to enter the summer camp business based on the belief that in this age of virtual experiences and non-face-to-face communication, opportunities for real experiences that can be felt with all five senses are in demand. The idea of entering the summer camp business was born out of this desire to provide virtual and impersonal experiences.

The first kiond store opened in June 2021 as a hands-on, experiential facility based on the theme of wood education. It aims to be a place where both adults and children of all ages can have a chance to become interested in wood and nature through a variety of wood-related experiences, including wood workshops, a playground with wooden play equipment, a café, and a store selling wooden goods.
