<About the Giant Wooden Capsule Toy

kiond Hiroshima opened on August 1, 2024, with the concept of a "power spot for everyone," a hands-on facility with the theme of wood education and a desire to be a place where many people gather to smile and be energized.

Why "capsule toy" and "giant wooden toy"?

Kerzok is a general amusement company that operates various amusement facilities such as game centers and kids' parks in commercial facilities. We have always placed importance on bringing smiles to people's faces through play, and we have expressed our "playful spirit" by creating a giant "capsule toy" that is exciting for children and adults alike.

In addition, since kiond is a hands-on facility based on the theme of wood education, the interior is made of wood. The symbol is also made of wood, as we want the facility to be a place where visitors can experience various wood-related experiences and become interested in wood and nature.

We hope that the giant wooden capsule toy will become a symbol of excitement, a natural source of smiles, and a source of energy for visitors to kiond Hiroshima, just as the various games that Curzok has created to date.
