Moominvalley Park in Japan is a must for fans of the whimsical Moomin stories. It’s a little slice of Finland tucked away amongst Japanese trees. The park’s designers did a fantastic job of recreating that Moomin magic. But even diehard fans should know – it gets crowded. Weekends are best avoided if you can manage it.
The Moomin House is the star attraction. You can wander through its rooms, just like in the books! If you’re lucky, you might even catch the characters hanging around for photos.
