If you know me, you know how much I love Gudetama. Of course, we went to the Gudetama Cafe in Osaka in one of my previous posts. But we also went to Sanrio Puroland. This themepark is a Sanrio character theme park about 40 minutes away from Shinjuku station in Tama ward. They have tons of attractions and photo opportunities with all of your favorite Sanrio characters.
One of my favorite parts to this amusement park was the Gudetama area. There was an entire exhibit dedicated to Gudetama “traveling the world” as different foods. There are lots of fun Gudetama photo-ops, as well. Gudetama as an omurice, gudetama on a burger, gudetama in a crepe, and many more!
Another adorable part of Sanrio Puroland was the boat ride. This was very reminiscent of the “Small World” boat ride in Disney, except with all Sanrio characters. It was so cute! I absolutely loved Cinnamoroll baking cinnamon rolls and PomPomPurin carrying around pudding. Each of the characters were represented in this boat ride that is fun for the whole family.
And if you’re looking for Sanrio swagg, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve never seen so many Gudetama items as I did in this store! There is something for every Sanrio character here. Many items are even unique to Puroland and can’t be found anywhere else!
Of course, every good attraction has food! And Puroland has a great cafeteria! All of their food is character themed. We ate Gudetama ramen, a gudetama donut, and a Wish Me Mell Pancake with ice cream and berries. It was fun and delicious!
If you’re a Sanrio fan, you’ve got to check out this theme park. Come see Hello Kitty and all of her friends next time you’re in Tokyo and come check out Sanrio Puroland.
