【Notice: Sanrio Puroland will close from Feb 22 to Mar 12. 】Sanrio Puroland, also known as Hello Kitty Land, is an indoor amusement park based on Sanrio cartoon stars. Hello Kitty, My Melody, Pom Pom Purin, and Jewelpet are everywhere to be found. Fantasy-like, inviting, and full of creativity, it is a popular attraction for both children and adults. This theme park gives visitors the chance to meet their favorite stars and, because it is set indoors, you can enjoy the parades and performances without needing to worry about the weather or temperature outside.

Reviews from Real Guests:

yusyaa: Sanrio Puroland is a theme park located in the city of Tama, Tokyo. Sanrio Puroland is an indoor theme park , so no rides will be closed due to rain. Maybe many think that Sanrio characters are liked by women, especially children. But don't get me wrong, Sanrio Puroland is also suitable for playing with family, whether it's for girls or boys, as well as for playing with partners and friends, you know.

Trip.com User: I live near Furorando, and I go sometimes. It's good to go with children like kindergarten students and it's indoors, so it's easy to work with rain and it's not very spacious. I think it's cheap ~

Day 1 | Evening

After visiting the glorious Sanrio Puroland, Keio Plaza Hotel Tama nearby is the best place to stay.

Tokyo has a humid subtropical climate which means mild winters and warm and wet summers. While visitors come to Tokyo year-round, but the best time to explore the city is in Spring (March to May) and Fall (September to November). During these two seasons, the weather is pleasant, and Tokyo is exceptionally beautiful with blossoming flowers in Spring and colorful foliage in Fall. The hottest month is August with an average high temperature of 31C (88F) and the coldest month is January with an average high of 9 C (48 F). If you prefer to holiday in summer and don’t mind the heat, expect short rainfall almost every day and high humidity. There is a rainy season in Tokyo, which typically lasts from early June to mid-July.There are several peak tourist seasons in Tokyo when visitors should expect large crowds and high prices. First is the end of March to early April when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, then again in the Golden Week (end of April to the first week of May) when a number of holidays mean locals flock to Tokyo and all scenic areas to celebrate. The same is for Fall when crowds gather for the vibrant foliage. Besides the weeks between Christmas and New Year, traveling during the off-season (late autumn through March) can save you a bundle.
