I was going to say "only in Japan" but have learnt that the Kidzania (http://www.kidzania.jp) concept came to Japan from Mexico and has been opened in a number of other countries around the world. We visited the franchise at la la port Tokyo bay.
The basic concept is that you pay to get in like an amusement park and then the children are expected to take jobs, like illustrating manga comics, working in a fast food outlet, as a beautician, etc. There are some great jobs like fire fighters that get to ride around the streets in a fire engine putting out fires and rescuers that get to climb buildings and rescue people. There are also some interesting jobs like stock brokers and travel agents.
Once the children have had a number of jobs they can spend the money they received as salary renting mobile phones, on food, exercise classes and almost anything else.
