A dream for Sanrio lovers! We went as 2 adults on a weekday in December, and had an amazing time.

There’s something here for everyone, but it’s mostly targeted to young children. We stayed for the whole day, and found it difficult to fit everything we wanted to do in! A lot of time sensitive events happen in Puroland, such as the character meet and greets, the birthday celebration and parade/shows, so you need to plan the timings of your day well.

There are so many cute photo spots all over Puroland, so perfect for taking photos. Lady Kitty’s house was particularly good, lots of adorable photo ops! Make sure to dress up cute and take lots of pictures!

For the character meet and greets, I recommend looking on the website to see which characters are there on the day of your visit if you really want to meet a specific one. To meet the characters, you need to get a ticket with an hour return window on it and you can only hold one ticket per mobile device, and if you want to meet more than one character you have to meet the first one before you can get another ticket (it’s very confusing!). Slots for the meet and greets do run out so I recommend you either prioritise the popular characters (because they run out first) or your favourite characters (so you don’t miss out!).

Rides wise, there aren’t a lot in Puroland, the Sanrio Boatride is absolutely fantastic and well worth the wait. Watch out for the closing time of the boatride, if the queue is long enough, they will close the queue early and during our visit the ride temporary broken down so getting on as early as is reasonable is best! The My Melody ride is also very cute and enjoyable, especially since My Melody is my favourite character.

There are two food courts, and both are very cute with Sanrio themed food. The cutest looking ones are the curries but the portions are quite small for an adult. We also had the Gudetama ramen which was really good.

The main draw of Puroland is definitely the shows, standouts being the Kawaii Kabuki show and the Miracle Gift Parade. Kawaii Kabuki is a show in a theatre so you don’t need to come super early if it’s not too busy in the park overall, the show is fantastic, wholeheartedly recommend seeing this! The Miracle Gift Parade is a parade that takes place around the central tree so there are many places that you can get a good view from. It’s a great way to see many characters at once. This one is a bit more difficult to get a good view for so arrive at least 30 mins before to find a good spot.

The gift shop has so much variety and stays open past closing time, so you can shop after your day around the theme park. They also have lots of merch for less popular/more obscure characters, so if your favourite character is more obscure, it’s worth checking out the gift shop to see if you can find them.

Overall, we had a fantastic day, and stayed from opening to closing! If you love Sanrio and cute things, you will adore Puroland.
