Japan Children’s Entertainment Centers Industry Trends and Drivers:

The market for children’s entertainment centers in Japan is being revitalized by the changing leisure choices of families, increased disposable income and the application of new interactive technology in entertainment. Japanese parents are treating structured entertainment companies (such as indoor play gyms, arcades and even augmented reality [AR] and virtual reality [VR] gaming centers) as premium experiences that are both fun and developmentally beneficial for their children. The bounce back from the pandemic is strong when it comes to spending on out-of-home entertainment, with parents more keen than ever to make family time meaningful. To meet this demand, operators are adapting by offering more diverse activities that appeal to both young children and theor adolescent age groups — tweens and teens — to provide something for the whole family and increase length of stay, which in turn drives increased per-visit revenue in food, merchandise and activity tickets.

The technological edge is a key differentiator in the children’s entertainment sector in Japan where AR and VR gaming zones are making new venue openings in flagship points of sales. The strong cultural love for video games and interactive media in Japan also renders it a great place to try out immersive entertainment. At the same time, the explosion in IP-based entertainment experiences –- utilizing such globally recognized assets as Japanese anime, manga and character franchises –- has been incredibly successful in generating repeat visitation and an additional revenue stream through merchandise. Venue operators, too, are adopting data-driven personalization, loyalty schemes and seasonal event line-ups to retain engagement. New, large-scale facilities of more than 10 acres in particular, in suburban areas where land prices are lower, are evolving as new entertainment anchors that attract regional traffic. These dynamics are all contributing to a strong market growth through 2034.
