Our first glimpe of Sanrio Puroland on the other side of a pedestrian overhead bridge.
A kid hugging Chiffon.
Entering Puroland – I didn’t realise how dimly lit the interior was – for some reason I expected the theme park to be bright and cheerful. The inside is supposed to represent a “Fairyland” – which in Japanese is メルヘンの世界 (The World of “Märchen” – this is a German word meaning “tales of enchantment and marvels”).
There’s Kitty and her friends (including some fairies) teaching children how to dance to a set of steps on the “Wisdom Tree Stage”. I later realised these dance steps are used during the Main Parade and everyone is supposed to join in and dance with the characters.
Some interesting displays in various nooks and crannies.
The Cinnamoroll shop.
The Hello Kitty house and adjoining gift shop.
