For this tour, I have selected two locations where you can enjoy the atmosphere of Finland -the homeland of the Moomins- and the Nordic countries without leaving Japan. Just outside of Tokyo, you’ll be able to experience the charm of Northern Europe along with beautiful natural surroundings!
This tour is especially recommended for Moomin fans, families, and couples!
Both of them are open all year round. There are also seasonal events depending on the time of your visit.
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!

Hi!
I'm Kenta from Japan.
Just call me ‘Ken’ It’s easy.
I was born in Tokyo and raised in Ibaraki pref.
After graduating from a high school in Ibaraki,
I went to a university in Tokyo to study music.
After that, I worked part-time jobs related to music, and finally became a resident DJ in Shibuya, organizing various events and also working in lighting and sound.
I have also performed alongside world-famous artists that everyone knows.
After working as a DJ for several years, I started a company that imports plants.
Our products are mainly rare plants from around the world.
I import them and wholesale them to businesses.
I have traveled to many countries around the world since my DJ days.
I have performed in Asian countries, studied English in South Africa, and even went to Canada to see the Aurora.
I really love traveling abroad.
I believe that experiencing different cultures and embracing new things is very important.
I’m excited to see you guys !
