Saitama Prefecture's Must-Visit Free Theme Park for Families

Hidden in Hannō City, Saitama Prefecture, is a stunning Moomin fairy tale park!✨
📍 'Tove Jansson Akebono Children's Forest Park'

Visited last autumn to see the autumn leaves🍁
This time, I chose to visit in midsummer and found the green fairy tale world equally breathtaking!

🌟【Travel Tips】
🎫 Admission: Free! Super generous!
💡TIPS: The autumn leaves season is very crowded, so it's recommended to come right at 9 AM when it opens for fewer people and a quieter experience～
🌸 Summer exclusive: The sunflower fields and purslane flower beds are perfect for photos📸
🏰 Special architecture: Lots of Moomin-themed fairy tale buildings, a must-visit for families!

☕【Cafe Recommendation】
Be sure to visit 'Cafe Puisto' inside the park!
(ins: This time I ordered cake and a cold drink🍰❄️
PS. Photos 12-17 were taken here～

A 10-minute walk takes you to the very popular Moomin Valley Theme Park!
(Address: 1013 Hannō, Hannō City, Saitama Prefecture)
⚠️ This year, the Umbrella Sky exhibition has moved inside the park
💰 Admission: A bit pricey
It’s recommended to visit on a sunny day; the surrounding trails are also beautiful～

🍁【Best Season】
Personally, I recommend coming in autumn to see the autumn leaves!
