Santa Claus arrived in Japan from Finland, bringing cheer on July 26 to children who evacuated to Saitama Prefecture from areas near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
About 50 children rejoiced as Santa in summer attire — wearing white shirt, red vest and green shorts — gave them sweets at a former high school building in Kazo, Saitama Prefecture, where many of the residents from the town of Futaba are taking refuge.
Santa said he arrived the day before as he learned about the March quake and tsunami that hit Japan.
