The rainy season is just around the corner, so are you planning on going out somewhere around this time? When you think of the rainy season, what comes to mind? Yes! Rain, right? So what comes to mind when you think of rain? That's right! An umbrella, of course! There's a spot where you can make those umbrellas look great! Today, we're introducing "Moomin Valley Park" in Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture. As the name suggests, it's a Moomin theme park that has become famous in recent years. This theme park is offering an "Umbrella Sky" where you can decorate your umbrellas for a limited time! ☂️ The name of the event is "Moomin Valley and Umbrellas" [Features of this event] ✅Long Umbrella Sky Corridor The most impressive thing is the 1,000 umbrellas lined up for 200m, and the colorful corridor is sure to catch your eye😍 ✅Fantastic production with soap bubbles The soap bubbles make this even more spectacular🫧 Soap bubbles come out for about 3 minutes every 10 minutes. The combination of umbrellas and soap bubbles is outstanding 📸📸 ✅111 Hattifatteners Hattifatteners appear in June Umbrella Sky Corridor The sight of them swaying gently in the wind is soothing 🥰 📅Event period: 2024/04/19-7/7 [Notes on photography] ------------ It's also very beautiful when the sun hits the umbrella and casts a shadow on the road! You'd want to take a picture without people around, right? However, the umbrellas are only reflected on the road when the sun rises, so even if you go at opening time (10am), the sun won't be high enough in terms of angle😭 However, it's difficult to see few people because it's open💦 I think it's best to go around 12pm when the reflection is below, prepared for people to get in☀️ In addition, if you go at opening time, you will also have the privilege of taking a photo with the Moomins! It's a matter of which one you choose😂 If you want to see the Moomin show, it's at 11am, so it's best to go at that time! ------------------------------------------------ That's all! How about it? It's a great spot for Moomin fans! I think it's set up well for children, so please come next weekend! 〜〜〜〜〜Information〜〜〜〜〜 📍Moomin Valley Park ・Address: 327-6 Miyazawa, Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture ・Access: Seibu Ikebukuro Line, Ikebukuro Station → Hanno Station 　　　　　　Take the bus from bus stop 1 and get off at "Metsa" ・Opening hours: ・Fee: 3,400 yen for junior high school students and above, 2,000 yen for 4 years old and above *Advance tickets 〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜 #Kanto Tourism #Domestic Travel #Japan's Great Views #Saitama Tourism

Choose your main course, salad, dessert and drink in order and then pay the bill together. After dinner, there is just enough time to watch a show. It is recommended that you confirm the show time when you arrive at the park. Although the performance was in Japanese, the story was easy to understand and they also danced.

Moomin Valley Park in Saitama! It is attached to a facility called Metsa Village, and even though it is close to the city center, it was like a different world!!! It is a very spacious space where you can take a walk, have your children play, or go on a date. It seems like it is okay to bring your dog, and there were lots of cute dogs there!!! It seems like there are plenty of activities for children, but it is also a wonderful space for two adults to relax, and it was a great day where we got to experience something out of the ordinary!!!!! It costs money to enter Moomin Town, but Metsa Village is free, but it is a spacious place with plenty to do!!!!! It might be great to go in the fall too!!!!!! #SaitamaTourism #MetsaVillage

Moomin Valley Park, themed on the popular Finnish character Moomin, is a facility where you can enjoy a variety of things, from attractions such as the Moomin House, to a cafe where you can enjoy Nordic cuisine, and a shop with many limited edition products. The calm atmosphere is enjoyable for adults as well, and we recommend visiting the nearby facility, Metsa☝️

#Japan Attractions Take the Seibu Ikebukuro Line from Ikebukuro Station and get off at Motokaji Station. Then walk for about 20 minutes to the hidden Akebone-no-ko-do-mono-mori Park. You can see mushrooms and pine forests along the way. The most attractive one is Moomin's house, which is 3 stories high. The decoration inside is in Nordic style with furniture of the same color, which reminds me of the animations of my childhood. The house also has a basement where you can sit on a pure wooden chair to rest. The third floor seems to be a children's play space. Imagine Moomin and his friends crawling into holes of different sizes, which is a unique experience. The surrounding environment reproduces the grass and trees in the fairy tale, the slow stream, and the seaside cottage with a blue spire on it. It is really the best check-in spot. The only flaw is that it feels like all the characters in the story are missing 😂, maybe they can only appear during the theater performance 😂 Moominvalley is free to visit. It is a little far away and not as crowded as the general theme park. But it is suitable for friends who like to enjoy the quiet and secluded life of Moomin.

There's one in Saitama too! A wonderful theme park! Both children and adults will enjoy it at Moomin Valley Park. To be honest, I went there without knowing much about Moomin. But now I'm completely captivated by Moomin. Even if you don't know Moomin, there is a place where you can understand the story and learn about Moomin's thoughts on life... I was so immersed in the Moomin anime that I was able to stay engrossed even after I got home. In addition, the simple scenery of Hanno is also calming. It's also a good place to just sit outside and daydream. #tripmemory2022 #Saitama #MoominValleyPark #Moomin

Moomin Valley Park is a facility that both adults and children can enjoy, such as watching a show featuring Moomin and his friends at Emma's Theater and visiting Moomin's house. Events change with the seasons, so please check the website before you go 💡 Next to the parking lot is a hot spring facility called "Miyazawa Lake Onsen Kirari Bettei", so after having fun at Moomin Valley Park, you can wash off the sweat here before heading home ♨ 📍327-6 Miyazawa, Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture #Moomin #themepark #trip2022

Good evening. I'm Jun and I've been into caves lately. This place is actually known for rock climbing, and there were a few people climbing the rocks on the cliff next to it. If you want to actually go inside the cave, it's really dark, so I recommend not going too far lol. This cave is on the way from Hanno to Chichibu, and you can reach it by climbing the mountain for about 20 minutes from the entrance. All of my posts are publicly available, so if there's a place you want to go, it's useful to save it. #Amazingview #Cave #FreeSpot #Saitama #HannoCity
