A place to visit Santa Claus in Nasu

Where can I visit Santa Claus in Nasu? If you are looking for somewhere to visit Santa Claus and get a photo with him in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, there is a really nice 'real' Santa Claus at Finland no Mori this year.

The free visit to this Santa Claus was today, December 11th, but he will be visiting on several other dates the rest of the month. You just need to have bought 2000 yen of goods at the mini Finnish themed village to quality to meet him. They have some lovely cheese and Moomin goods that you could easily spend 2000 yen on! 

The dates for the rest of December are:

Saturday December 13th from 1.15 pm to 2.15 pm
Sunday December 14th from 12.30 pm to 2.15 pm
Saturday December 20th from 1.15 pm to 2.15 pm
Sunday December 21st from 1.15 pm to 2.15 pm
Monday December 22nd from 1.15 pm to 2.15 pm
Christmas Eve from 1.15 pm to 2.15 pm

You would need a car to visit this location in Nasu as it is not easily accessible by public transport. Make sure you have your snow tyres on! More information in English, with lots of photos, and the official website. The photo in this post is from a visit in a previous year.
