Yesterday we took our long awaited trip to Sanrio Puroland, the home of the all powerful "Hello Kitty". Probably one of the most recognized icons of Japan is Hello Kitty. My daughter along with all 3 year old girls in the world has been caught up with all of Kitty's cuteness.
From our house to Sanrio Puroland is about a 2 hour trip right through the center of Tokyo. I again was able to navigate the roller coaster that is the Shutoko Expressway. When we arrived we realized that most of the people there were not speaking Japanese, but Chinese. The reason being that this Sunday was the last day of the Chinese New year. In one of the pictures you will see my daughter with Kitty's boyfriend "Daniel" dressed up in a traditional Chinese costume.
My daughter isn't usually shy but trying to get anywhere close to Kitty and her friends in a crowd of crazed 3 year old girls was quite stressful for her. She eventually got the courage and was able to battle her way towards Daniel for the picture here.
We had a great time. Next quest is to visit the home of Totoro, Studio Gibuli.
