As a self-proclaimed Sanrio fanatic (Pochacco, you have my heart), I was beyond thrilled to discover that Sanrio paradise was just an hour away from Tokyo!
For anyone whose soul thrives on cuteness overload, Sanrio Puroland is an absolute must-visit. Unlike traditional theme parks, this one is completely indoors, making it the perfect choice for those who hate unpredictable weather (or just prefer not to melt in the sun).
True to its name, Sanrio Puroland is a love letter to all things Sanrio: from Hello Kitty and My Melody to Pompompurin, Gudetama, and Cinnamoroll.
Though, if your favourite character is a little more niche (fellow Chococat lovers unite and bring your own plushie along), you might have to work harder to spot them.
There are a couple of ways to get tickets. You can grab them at the park counter or through ticketing partners (for my ‘J’ planners). With that, there are three types of tickets: Passport tickets, Annual Passes, and Puroland tickets.
Passport tickets are only limited to day and afternoon options, while Annual passes let you enter the park all-year long.
Adult prices for day tickets vary from ¥3900 (S$35.57) to ¥5900 (S$53.82) while prices for kids below 17 years old start from ¥2800 (S$25.54). Check out the comprehensive pricing here.
Or consider getting the Puroland tickets, their version of a fast pass. Note that these can only be purchased at vending machines near each ride with prices starting from ¥500 (S$4.56).
If meeting a Sanrio character is your top priority, head straight to the Character Greeting Residence and scan the QR code to book a timeslot.
Want to meet Hello Kitty in person? Tour her lavish European-style mansion at Lady Kitty House and take photos with her at the end.
Sanrio Puroland has some of the cutest rides ever, and you cannot leave without trying Cinnamoroll’s Little Big Adventure, a five-minute competitive shooting ride.
Oh, and also the MyMerroaddrive, a short three-minute car ride through a diorama world introducing My Melody and her friends.
Finish up with the Sanrio Character Boat Ride, a boat journey through Sanrio wonderland, featuring almost the entire Sanrio gang (which explains why the line is always the longest).
One thing you can’t miss out on is their biggest parade, Miracle Gift Parade. The park’s most iconic show features stunning lights, acrobatics, and characters like Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel.
There are so many other things that you can do here so make sure to keep a day (or two) free in your itinerary.
Will you be embarking on your kawaii adventure here?
