Moomin Valley Christmas

Moomin Valley Christmas

Event Overview

A Nordic lifestyle experience facility "Metsä" spreads along the shores of Lake Miyazawa. "Moomin Valley Park" is a theme park within Metsä where you can enjoy the world of the Moomin family and their friends' stories. In 2025, an event titled "Moomin Valley Christmas" will be held, themed around the picture book "Moomin Valley Christmas." The unique Christmas tree of the Moomin family, who did not know about Christmas due to hibernation, and the preparations for Christmas by the residents of Moomin Valley who are familiar with it will warm your heart. Winter activities, including the "Moomin Valley Skating Rink on The LAKE" on the terrace over the lake, and a new show "Moomin Valley Luminous Night Show - What is Christmas?" along with special menu offerings at restaurants are also appealing. The entire park will be enveloped in a special light with a fantastic illumination and projection mapping, and the fireworks festival over the lake is not to be missed.
