Moomin Monogatari Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hanno City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kiyoshi Mochizuki) will begin "Umbrella Sky and Hydrangea Road," where approximately 1,000 hydrangeas beautifully adorn the area beneath the umbrella sky of the popular "Moominvalley and Umbrella" event, starting Saturday, May 16. Concurrently, a "Rainy Day Limited Present Campaign" will also commence, offering postcards to customers who use stores within "KOKEMUS" on rainy days.
"Umbrella Sky and Hydrangea Road" is a highly acclaimed event from last year, featuring vibrant and beautiful hydrangeas blooming along the Umbrella Sky Road. This year, the seasonal decorations are powered up, with hydrangeas appearing not only along the Umbrella Sky Road but also at various spots throughout the park. The entire park will be colorfully adorned with umbrellas and hydrangeas, creating a fantastical space where visitors can fully enjoy the beauty of nature and the world of the stories, especially the fresh greenery on rainy days, welcoming everyone gently.
Furthermore, the "Lake Flower Terrace" will undergo a significant transformation with the seasonal flower, hydrangeas. The "Flower and Story Terrace" will transform into a spot where visitors can re-experience the story of "Comet in Moominland," adorned with hydrangeas and seasonal flowers, making the event's theme, "Comet in Moominland," a deeper experience. Hydrangeas will also be installed in Metsa Village, a free area, with a total of approximately 1,500 hydrangeas, significantly exceeding last year's scale, creating a early summer ambiance.
On rainy days, the fresh greenery of the trees and the hydrangeas shine. In addition to the joy of rain created by nature, there are plenty of entertainment options to enjoy even on rainy days, such as "Emma's Theater," which was renovated into a long-awaited all-weather theater with a large tent on Saturday, March 14, 2026; "KOKEMUS," an experiential exhibition facility where visitors can learn about the life of original author Tove Jansson and the Moomin stories; and "Moominvalley Play Area," where children can enjoy physical activity with their five senses. At the shops within "KOKEMUS," starting Saturday, May 16, as part of the "Rainy Day Limited Present Campaign," customers who purchase products will receive a postcard designed with a rain theme. Please visit Moominvalley Park, which is full of exciting spots that are fun precisely because it's a rainy day, even during the rainy season.
