My family and I visited Kid’s Square Chikkuru for the first time last October 23, 2022, during our “October 22-23” Road Trip. It was my 356th day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. We made sure to include this in our itinerary as my daughter requested that we include an “Ella Time” in our itinerary. Of course, my wife and I happily obliged. I even got the chance to play with Ella in the playground’s large indoor net play equipment.
