Hello Kitty Amusement Park | Puroland

A Sanrio amusement park? Sort of, and not near you, or me. Puroland is Sanrio's theme park, in Tama, Japan.

That's a whole 5,000 miles from California, to Tama, or a whopping 7,000 miles from Florida! 

What can you do at Puroland?According to the website -en.puroland.jp- park guests can enjoy a multitude of activities:

 If you search 'puroland boat ride' you'll see some homemade footage of some of the park guests. To me, the Character Boat Ride reminds me of Disney's "It's a Small World" ride, with Sanrio-universe characters.

• the 40^th anniversary parade; 
• the Yakata Restaurant;
• the Hello Kitty musical; 
• explore the Sanrio Character Hills;
• take the Kiki & Lala Twinkling Tour; 
• meet Hello Kitty, and experience her lifestyle; 
• ride the My Melody & Kuromi Mymeroad ride; 
• see the Little Hero play; 
• see the Lady Jewelpet’s Magical Musical; 
• shop at the largest store in Puroland, the Entrance Shop
• and eat at the Character Food Court

A very cool experience if you can make the trip. You can search for handheld footage, some lucky participants have uploaded on some of your favorite video sites, and see in detail the great work Sanrio has put into Puroland.
