The park has Moomin's house, a museum, and more. It's a perfect spot for Moomin fans.

Magome-juku
The Nakasendo was one of the five major highways developed during the Edo period to connect Kyoto and Edo. Magome-juku was the 43rd post town along the route. Built on a stone-paved slope, the town retains the atmosphere of the Edo period. Shops lining both sides of the street sell freshly grilled gohei-mochi rice cakes, oyaki dumplings, and other treats, making it a pleasant place for strolling and sampling local food.
This charming old road is lined with shops selling crafts, souvenirs, and restaurants on both sides.

Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine
Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is a historic shrine that is said to have been built around 1500 years ago. The main shrine features elaborate engravings, and it has been designated as a National Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
In summer, the shrine is decorated with special wind chimes for good luck. The chimes are shaped like sea bream, and their Japanese pronunciation sounds like 'I want to see you.' That's why so many couples come here.

Miyajidake Shrine
Miyajidake Shrine, located in Fukutsu City between Fukuoka and Kitakyushu, is the head shrine of all Miyajidake shrines in Japan. Founded approximately 1,700 years ago, it enshrines Empress Jingu as its principal deity. According to the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, Empress Jingu prayed for good fortune from the summit of this mountain before going into battle. Since then, the shrine has been revered as the home of a deity who brings good fortune and victory in all endeavors.
At sunset, the sunlight shines down the 'Path of Light.' It's truly a beautiful shrine.
