With the cooperation of the Ultraman Foundation, this project will not only make your family’s dream of traveling come true, but also plan various events that will give you energy and courage from Ultraman during the trip. We are preparing to make this a special experience not only for children with serious illnesses, but also for their siblings and families. *2 In addition, by utilizing the avatar robot “OriHime”*3 developed by Ory Lab Inc.*4, it is possible to respond to sudden changes in the health of children with serious illnesses, and even children with serious illnesses who cannot go outside can experience a “simulated family trip experience.” As the first step of this project, with the support of the Life Insurance Association of Japan*5, we will be inviting children with serious illnesses and their families to the Osaka-Kansai Expo for two days and one night during the period below.
