The Moominvalley Park[1] opened on March 16, 2019 in Hanno City, about 40 kilometers northwest of Tokyo[2]. It is the second Moomin theme park in the world and the first one outside of Finland. Modeled after the universe of the Moomins, the park brings to life the valley where the characters live and play.
For those unfamiliar with the Moomins, they are the characters in a series of Finnish childrens stories by Tove Jansson. Among the diverse characters appearing in the story, the central ones are white bipedal creatures that resemble hippopotamuses and are called Moomintroll, Moominpappa, Moominmamma and Snorkmaiden. Other main characters include Little My and Snufkin who resemble humans. These characters reside in Moominvalley where they have their adventures and encounter other characters when venturing out of the valley.
