Sanrio Puroland, in Tama on Tokyo’s western edge, is a colourful, all-indoor theme park dedicated to Hello Kitty and the huge cast of Sanrio characters — from My Melody and Kuromi to Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin and Gudetama. Being fully indoors, it’s a great all-weather destination, packed with attractions across several themed floors: musical stage shows and parades featuring the characters, gentle rides and boat attractions, character meet-and-greets and photo opportunities, immersive themed areas like Sanrio Village and Lady Kitty House, plus themed cafés serving adorably decorated food and shops overflowing with exclusive merchandise. Bright, cheerful and unapologetically cute, it’s especially magical for children and dedicated Sanrio and kawaii fans, with spectacular shows that are a highlight for all ages. Check the daily show schedule on arrival to plan around the performances, and expect an immersive overload of cuteness.
