Ground-breaking ceremony held at Moomin theme park site in Saitama

Tove Jansonn was a genius and The Moomins are an enduring creation, much beloved in Japan. Her legacy continues to enchant and inspire young fans and artists, alike.

Unless they build an IKEA next to it, I am not sure they will recoup their investment.

What does IKEA have to do with a Finnish anime character?

Hope it was privately funded because it's going to be a money pit. Moomin is cute and all, but no way it'll break even.

I don't understand the fascination with cartoon characters. A lot of the novelty shops have Moomin paraphernalia, which is ridiculously priced.

This is a terribly niche amusement park. I can't see it lasting more than a year or two.

Goodluck

There is a thing called Google......

I am sceptical of its success, not well known identity, proximity, declining young population etc. Good luck anyway.

what is Moomin? at first i thought the important news was about "mooning" which as teenagers we used to do passing luxury liners. picture please of moomin.
