Sanrio Puroland

For hello kitty fans this is pretty great. And indoor theme park with a few minor rides, shows, meet hello kitty, food court, shopping and a generally awesome experience for young children and young at heart kitty fans. It’s indoors so good activity for Dec-​Mar in winter. The shows are in Japanese but the main theatre has the translation on a screen. It’s good fun. Long day not the kind of place you spend a whole day at, 10−2pm would be enough. It’s a fair way from Tokyo (around 45 minutes).

My review for this place might be unfair because I might not be the target consumer/​visitor and it my visit was not by personal choice. I was part of a tour group passing thru Tokyo. Needless to say, I am not a huge Sanrio fan and I do not have children. I can definitely see the appeal of the place but there’s not that much to see. I can imagine this place getting old fast. Good place to buy your Sanrio supplies esp if you’re a collector looking for rare items so I can’t give it 1 star.

Came to Sanrio Puroland many many years ago as well. OMG it’s honestly the best place ever! It’s basically an indoor Disneyland, except with Sanrio characters. There’s many cute little rides and artifacta for you to see. Many kids come as well, and Japanese people dress their kids in the most adorable fashions!
I love the boat ride in Sanrio Puroland, but I honestly thought it was the best part. It reminded me of «It’s a small world» ride in Disneyland. For those who are unaware of what this is, it’s the one where you sit in a boat that tours you all around Sanrio Puroland while doors open and shut and moving Sanrio characters are on the side.
I also loved Hello Kitty houses cause it had Hello Kitty themed washrooms, kitchens, dining rooms. SO SO CUTE. I loved how energetic the people were who dressed up in Cinnamoroll, Hello Kitty costumes. They were awesome and super nice!

I can’t imagine giving less than 5 stars as I had the most amazing time here. Disclaimer: it is not for everyone– if you are not a Sanrio fan or a child it may not be up your street! But if you fit into either of those categories then you would struggle not to enjoy yourself here. It took seconds for me to settle into the place, and from then until they closed I was completely entertained. I have been a fan of many Sanrio characters for a long time and so as soon as I heard about the existence of Sanrio puroland I have wanted to go. It was better than I imagined! I am surprised I left without clearing out all of their shops, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I actually ran out of time so didn’t get to visit them all. There are so many things to do — the rides, the shows, the photo opportunities and the restaurants that it’s actually hard to fit it all in. Make sure that you get a programme as soon as you arrive and plan out which shows you want to see as there are lots of different ones as well as set times for character meet and greets. Check out the offers you get with your ticket as the tax refund desk also offers other gifts with minimum spend.

this is my magic kingdom!!! I died and had gone to heaven!!! Loved it all! Had the best pics with Hello Kitty, Daniel and friends; the boat ride was GREAT, and the shopping areas were quite outstanding; found items I wouldnt be able to find in the US!
Every Sanrio fan has to engage in this pilgrimage!

Love, Love, Love Sanrio Puroland!!! If you love Sanrio characters, then you can’t go wrong by visiting Sanrio Purloand in Tokyo Japan. This indoor amusement park exceeded all my expectations. The entire venue was decorated in such a wonderful way, that one can’t help but smile when walking around the theme park. There are a couple low key rides in Puroland and even though the theme park itself seemed to cater to younger kids…12 & under… one can’t help but turn into a kid at heart when in this place. There’s so much to see and do.
The Hello Kitty restaurant/​café is a must visit. All the food items are decorated in a cute & creative manner.
And it’s super cute how they have photo ops all around the park… even on the rides.
Fun for all ages! I wanted to take home almost everything from their store. But unfortunately I couldn’t because (1) Money doesn’t grow on trees & (2) I didn’t have enough room in my suitcase =oP

Omg! Hello Kitty motherland! I died! Cuteness all around me! It wasn’t as big as I was expecting and definitely catered to little girls, not for adults lol! But I had so much fun! Got to meet and take a picture with Hello Kitty and go into her Lady House!
There is a Sanrio boat ride that is like its a Small World from Disneyland.
Oh and the food is shaped like Sanrio characters!
I definitely loved Sanrio Puroland!

Sanrio Disneyland is more like it. Fun rides, tons of loud obnoxious kids screaming cause their parents won’t get them the giant hello kitty doll, Kawaii foods, it’s just fantastic minus the screaming children. Commute is a bit far, an hour and twenty minutes out of the city center but well worth the trip if you’re a fan of Hello Kitters and the rest of the gang.
After 3pm they offer pretty much a 50% discount. Regular adult fee costs ¥3,800 but after 3 it costs only ¥2,000. I’ve posted an image of the coupon on here and would recommend saving up $ 20 which is what it works out to be.

Literalmente? El parque de atracciones de Hello Kitty !!!
Nos encontrábamos en el segundo viaje a Japón con los colegotas y dentro de una de esas «experiencias» frikis a mas no poder que teníamos planeadas surgió la posibilidad de tocar techo en nuestra marginación social … ¿Vamos al parque de Hello kitty?
Lo que no sabíamos es que lo que originalmente parecía ser un momento friki que contar a las generaciones venideras, se convertiría en uno de los mejores días del viaje y en una experiencia prácticamente única, vayamos por partes.
El parque esta en la sección de Tama, mas o menos donde Cristo perdió los makisushis, pero esta bien comunicado con tren, osea que no deberíais tardar demasiado en llegar, por otro lado, y avisados los claustrofóbicos, el parque es completamente subterráneo, quiero decir, no es al estilo Disney o Port Aventura, donde se trata de un montón de terreno acondicionado para la ocasión, sino un underground gigantesco donde han montado todo el parque, la entrada si mal no recuerdo rondaba los 18 euros.
Esta principalmente orientado para niños, y evidentemente el rosa es el color predominante, pero siendo sinceros, en ningún momento me sentí excluido como adulto ya que en todo momento los animadores sabían adaptarse al target de edad al que se estaban dirigiendo, mención aparte la «campana de la felicidad» que se podía tocar, y que en un arranque de «potencia extrema europea» a poco nos la cargamos, dejando al parque sin felicidad una buena temporada. También disponían de las típicas barcas de recorrido por la historia de Sanrio (Kitty, Keroro), quizás no pensadas para tres mozos-​recios europeos de peso medio por aquella época, unos 100 kilos cada uno, falto bien poco para que el paseo acabara en un titanic rosa chicle.
La restauración como os imagináis gira en torno a Hello Kitty, hamburguesas, helados, bollos, frutas, todo lleva la imagen y emblema de la gatita favorita de los nipones.
No os perdáis el parade de final del día, es sencillamente espectacular !!

Who doesn’t love hello kitty? My family and I visited during our vavation. We felt as if it was quit small. They had a few rides that were cute and we also got a chance to see hello kitties house and took pictures too. The souvenir store was a bit small… I thought they would have even more unique items in Sanrio than in regular stores. We also did the buffet for an early dinner. The options weren’t so good and they had a cool frozen beer float however I wouldn’t eat there again. Overall it was fun… it would’ve been amazing if I was 6.
