Cute Places to Visit in Japan

Please welcome my wife Stacey to I Heart Japan!  She’s got a keen eye for all things cute and she’ll be running down the latest trends in kawaii and Japanese crafts.

It doesn’t get much cuter than Hello Kitty. Did you know there is a theme park in Japan dedicated to Hello Kitty! How can you not visit it? (I guess pretty easily, if you didn’t find out about it until you were back home, like me.)

If you love Hello Kitty, SANRIO the makers of Hello Kitty, have the park for you! Located near Tokyo, Puroland has three theatres (it looks like Hello Kitty is starring in The Wizard of Oz right now in one of them), a find Hello Kitty and Daniel adventure, a boat ride, a 3D ride, and a life size version of Hello Kitty’s house.

There is also a Dinner Show and some hard-core Hello Kitty Shopping.

I have not had the pleasure of visiting Puroland yet, but it is definitely on my Japan To Do list next time we are there. Have you visited Puroland? What did you think? I’d love to hear from you.
