Global Families Connect with Japanese Preschools through Peppa Pig Partnership

Japan Preschool Exchange (JPE) offers global families a chance to experience life in Japanese preschools. With over 1,000 past participants, 95% would return. JPE launches a promotional collaboration with Peppa Pig, enhancing cultural exchange programs. Founder Masaya Yamamoto aims to promote cross-cultural learning and sustainability through the program.

Japan Preschool Exchange (JPE) invites families worldwide to immerse themselves in the authentic everyday experiences of Japanese preschools, ranging from snowy play to rice harvesting. Open to participants for up to three weeks with no requirement for Japanese language skill, the program collaborates with over 30 preschools to foster sustainable local engagement.

In an exciting collaboration, JPE partners with Peppa Pig, a well-loved brand by Hasbro, to promote cross-cultural learning. Families who register between August 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026, receive a Peppa Pig Welcome Digital Guide packed with activities, encouraging collective family adventures in the unique setting of Japanese preschools.

Founded by CEO Masaya Yamamoto, inspired by his personal experience in Hokkaido, JPE supports educational trips for school groups, contributing to a vast network of cultural exchange. KitchHike, the studio behind JPE, focuses on innovative rural development, seeing these communities as models for future global sustainability.
