Announcement: “Misusu no Mori Kodomo Mall 2026” is Coming!!

We’ll be holding “Misusu no Mori Kodomo Mall”—an event that’s just a little different from our usual MMM—at our usual venue, Nagano Prefectural Gokoku Shrine!!

While retaining the familiar MMM atmosphere, “Misusu no Mori Kids’ Mall” is a market geared primarily toward children and families.

Just like our regular MMM events, there will be attractive merchandise and food and beverage booths, as well as workshops and hands-on activities that are popular with children. There will also be booths where local elementary school students sell items they’ve made themselves as part of their curriculum, and classes where everyone can think about their future together—just like a school in the woods. That’s what the “Misuzu no Mori Kodomo Mall” is all about over these two days.

The name may change, but MMM is still MMM.

When we say “children,” we mean everyone—from preschoolers and kindergarteners all the way up to college students—they’re all the stars of the show.

If you have a childlike spirit, feel excited, or gaze at your dreams with sparkling eyes, then even adults are all children at heart.

So, in the end, it’s the same as always—an MMM where everyone at the venue—visitors, vendors, and performers alike—is the star.

That said, there will be a bit more content geared toward children than usual.

So, even if you’re just an adult, please feel free to come and enjoy the event!

Let’s all have fun together once again under the pleasant autumn sky, where the heavens are high and the horses are fat.

“No doubt about it!! Let’s all gather at the forest!!”
