Explore Moomin Valley Park in Japan

Have you ever fantasized about encountering the world of Moomins deep in the forest? These adorable Finnish creatures have been a fairy tale classic since 1945! The first Moomin-themed park in Asia, MoominValley Park in Saitama, Tokyo, invites you to step into this magical realm. The park is divided into two areas, each offering unique experiences with different ticket requirements. The Metsä Nordic Village, which doesn't require a ticket, features vast lakeside lawns perfect for picnics and relaxation, with Nordic-style cafes, restaurants, and shops. You can also enjoy scenic walks along forest trails. The Moomin Valley Park, which requires a ticket, lets you embark on a fairy tale journey with the Moomin family, exploring their daily lives and visiting landmarks like the Moomin House, lighthouse, and exhibition hall. Here are six must-visit spots: 1. The Four Book-Shaped Art Gate: The entrance is the starting point of the Moomin story, with four giant books that seem to open a fairy tale journey. 2. Moomin Papa's Bathhouse: Displays Moomin's daily life with winter items and summer swim gear. 3. Moomin House: A three-story iconic building filled with the Moomin family's life details. 4. Kokemus Exhibition Hall: Showcases classic Moomin works and 3D models, with a must-visit Moomin statue area. 5. Lighthouse: Located in the Lonely Mountain area, featuring Moomin Mama's nostalgic paintings. 6. Apple Balloon Decorations: Special autumn setup symbolizing harvest, creating a festive atmosphere. In autumn, the park introduces the "Adult Art Terrace," combining Moomin's artistic vibe with natural beauty by the lake, immersing you in Moomin Papa's adventure stories. You can also board the "Symphony of the Sea" for a dreamy autumn adventure with the Moomin family. End your day at the Moomin Library Cafe, enjoying coffee and desserts while reading classic Moomin stories.
