Tove Jansson Akebono Children's Forest Park

The Akebono Children's Forest Park spans across natural woodland with wooden structures, playgrounds, and a lake within its boundaries.

The park was established in 1997 following seven years of correspondence between the planners and Finnish author Tove Jansson.

The park incorporates elements from the Moomin stories throughout its grounds, including sculptures, artwork, and a specialized library of Moomin books.

Visitors can reach the park by walking twenty minutes from Motokaji Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, with operating hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

The park features a cafe named Puisto and multiple handcrafted wooden play areas where children can explore nature while discovering Moomin-inspired decorations.
