MOOMINVALLEY PARK

Must go place for Moomin lovers. I used to watch this cartoon when I was small so the memories freshen up. The parking costs 1500¥ for two hours. The entrance is a way long way so you can enjoy at the park and souvenir shops. We went quite early so we decided not to enter and just walk till the entrance of main park. It opens at 11:00 am and they have New Year’s illumination going at night so do watch it. It is a great place for kids and adults 🙏🏻

You will need a whole day to spend if you want to walk all around the park. Staffs didn't speak English, so it's quite hard for us to understand the show and tour. Anyway, the atmosphere was wonderful and we enjoyed it so much. Also, I recommend you to buy blueberries jam in the souvenir shop as a Omiyage.

The theming was beautiful, I especially loved the Little My Shop(she’s my favorite)! The character actors made sure to make it a memorable experience for everyone, not just children and fluent Japanese speakers. The food was slightly up-charged due to it being a theme park but it was not expensive, it was also delicious.
Oh! I also got engaged here…so yes, this will by far be one of my most treasured spots!

A nice place to come my son fan of moomin.. he really like to watch . Musashi Takahagi you take a bus 🚌 going to moomin.. there are several walk you can do in the surrounding forests too . there is also a children's playground

recently went there with family. Good place to spend your day with kids. Wonderful lightening decoration at the night.

I loved visiting the Moominvalley park. Felt very authentic and it was beautiful. The shows were very Japanese, but we don’t complain - we’re in Japan after all. Souvenirs are a must, and the shop beside the restaurant had everything you could imagine. The mugs and plushies were a bit expensive, but I ended up buying the two limited edition moominvalley Arabia mugs, 4400 yen a piece.

My husband is Finnish—he approves of the salmon soup, rice porridge and glogi being sold inside this park. This park is very generous, in my opinion. As long as you spend ¥5000 in the stores within the park, you get free parking on the weekends. Also if you buy something BEFORE getting the entrance ticket—you will only have to pay ¥2700/person instead of ¥3200.

Really nice area, very peaceful and away from the major city. Visited on a weekday so it was not too crowded. Lots of smaller buildings outside the main Moomin Park area with food, drinks, and souvenirs available. Inside Moomin Park was great for people who like the books and characters.

Moomin Valley Park is a very comforting place.
If you like Moomin, I recommend you visit at least once.
You can actually meet cute Moomin characters.
There are shops selling cute Moomin goods, shops selling Scandinavian miscellaneous goods, and restaurants where you can enjoy the magnificent scenery and nature of Lake Miyazawa, and delicious food, so you can have a very enjoyable time.
Moomin Valley Park is a amazing place to heal your mind and body.
You should definitely try visiting here.

A rather small but very pleasant park located close to nature. The surroundings had a really nice Scandinavian feel, and there was good Northern food to be had at the numerous eateries around the area. The shops offer a nice selection of Swedish, Danish, Finnish and Norwegian goods, and interesting hands-on experiences with woodcrafting. There are easy chairs for you to relax under the sun, great lake views, and it seems like you can rent canoes on the lake too.

Had a fun afternoon in the park. Entered at around 3:15pm, there is a character show at 3:30pm. Pop corn container is the model of the Moomin house. If you are a big fan, you don't want to miss going into The house (extra fee can be purchased ahead or walk in if still have space) A staff walk us through the entire house and interact with the group with questions and story about Moomin house. I don't speak Japanese but I use the conversation function on Google translate and get 98% of the story the staff told. It is fun. Snufkin walks around the village with his lantern to the lighthouse in the evening. There are many souvenir shops with different theme but same stuffs. Also,paper bags from each store are different. Sort of a collection too for a true fan.

Overall:
-Peaceful park
-Feels like we’re living in a moomin world

Food:
-At the entrance there is a delicious pancake shop
-at the centre of the park,there is a 3 floors building:
food court on the 1st floor and a cafe on the 3rd floor.

Things to do:
-in the 3 floors building there is also an exhibition about the history of moomin and there is one of the biggest stories
-remember to get tickets to attractions early especially moomin’s house as it is sold out fast. Tickets are at 15mins interval. It is important to know Japanese as the attractions guide speaks in Japanese and involves the audience to participate by answering questions

Tickets
-Admission to the park and attractions are separate tickets (individual attraction tickets can be purchased in the park in front of individual attractions)

Characters only come out for show at 6.30pm but sometimes random characters may come out for a while to take pictures with visitors

If you have planned a trip, can purchase tickets from online and enter with a QR code on your phone which is much faster

Beautiful place. Very family friendly, they even had a treasure hunt with moomin characters

Very fun that they have made this park far away from Finland. It was very few people here when we were here, so we were able to get around easily, and get lots of pictures. Remember to buy the moominvalley cup from Arabia! Since it is only sold here!

The trip here was long, and at some point I wondered if I were able to grt back to Tokyo...

Went here on a tour good place t take a walk many greens and shades love the umbrellas, many stores are closed tho maybe bcoz of corona but still can have fun
