I Love ur video! It was nice to see it thru a mans eyes. Question.. Was the kabuki theater all in Japanese or was there a translator or anything? Thanks!

[@tdrexplorer]

@@ericapaul7989 It was entirely in Japanese. They may have translations but I didn't ask.

[@musicloversnl7291]

I didn't knew there's a buffet restaurant until I watched ur vlog.definitely after I gave birth wanna go visit and try some food at sanrio.thanks..tc

[@pixie179988]

Hi i was wondering how do you know wich is the train you have to take since for me it’s a little bit complicated

[@crystaltalksaboutthetruth3993]

I miss the Sanrio store we had near us as a kid. Keroppi was my favorite as a kid and when I got older I fell in love with all the characters but now I love kuromi or little twin stars but they are all so cute. We use to go into the store spend 5 bucks for a mystery bag which usually had stationary which was cool to show off at school. I think that is what started my pen collection. Your girl has all the cute pens ones with gems and diamonds, stars, clouds, rainbows.

[@Animation27]

This. This exactly ☺️😉

[@adae1974]

My first retail job out of high school in the early 90’s was a Sanrio Surprises store at the mall. I ended up having all sorts of things from there. I still have a hello Kitty small suitcase from there that was meant for a child. My husband recently gave me Hello Kitty sushi socks for my birthday. I always loved adding a trinket to the bags we sold. Keroppi was my favorite and loved Cinnamaroll when it was introduced.

[@pipianvideos]

there used to be a small official sanrio booth and store at my local malls!! when i was a kid i would always eat the yummy gums they had but im really sad that nearly all of them closed down :(

[@Shadows_emerald]

Off topic but we have the same favorite Sanrio characters!

[@ericapaul7989]

samesies!! Me and my sister were allowed to walk to the mall afterschool on fridays and we always spent our allowance on mystery bags at Sanrio!! Such good memories of that store! And it had such a good smell!! Is it just me that remembers exactly what the sanrio store smells like?! lmao

[@AJ17_]

This looks like such a cute park. But my favorite Sanrio character, Aggretsuko, is nowhere to be found there. I also love Chococat and didn't see much of him either.

[@rookeealding2803]

Aggretsuko is still pretty new, but I do hope one day they add a karaoke area for her. I know she skews more of an adult audience but so does Gudetama.

[@iveequinn4942]

@@rookeealding2803 gudetama has a more adult audience?

[@rookeealding2803]

@@iveequinn4942 older , not adult. I heard it 's more for the teenaged than children.

[@iveequinn4942]

@@rookeealding2803 oh yeah it's definitely got a pretty big teenaged following. I personally wish puroland had more stuff to do especially for the older audiences (primarily for teens) than just the boat ride and stuff but I suppose if a teenager is going they're most likely a pretty big sanrio fan in the first place

[@kodzukenweb]

Aggretsuko is also definitely more popular in the West than here in JP

[@shademar3]

I love how everything from the train station to the theme park feels like part of the theme park itself! It's like USJ city station but better!

[@anniefinch6843]

6 more facts about Hello Kitty. 1, Hello Kitty wears a red bow, 2. Mimmy is her twin sister and she wears a yellow bow, 3. Hello Kitty's parents names are Mary and George and their last names are White, 4. Hello Kitty's grandparents names are Anthony and Margaret, 5. Hello kitty's furry tale theater was on television in 1987 featuring 13 episodes, and finally 6. Dear Daniel is Hello Kitty's boyfriend.

[@Seoulsearch616]

This place looks amazingly well-themed. I was so excited to see Badtz and Kerroppi, favorites since childhood. ❤️🐸 🐧

[@Ebrill_Owen]

I’ve seen so many videos of this heavenly place but they never get old! I want to go so bad! Gudetama, Kiki and LaLa and Kuromi are my favorites!

[@beingsmoony]

I kept screaming all through your video... it's just overwhelmingly cute and I really miss Japan including this Puroland which I did visit once when I was still a little kid long ago. I suppose they keep updating the theme park all through the years. I'll definitely go there again next time I come to Japan and tell you what- actually my favorite character is Rilakkuma but it's a shame there's still no San-X Land... And, I like how you kept chuckling. 😆

[@Kkspoke344]

I was screaming too, it’s NOT CINNAMON ROLL!! It’s cinnamoroll! Learn the character names! Lol

[@Raffiano]

My last name is Puro. And i have never been as elated as I am watching this video. Thanks TDR 🙏

[@tdrexplorer]

Haha that's awesome. Thank you for watching!

[@TexasCarWashChannel626]

@@tdrexplorer can we hug the characters yet?

[@allycrawford9303]

I remember visiting this place when my dad was living near Tokyo. It's been so long that I don't know if they still have it, but there was a bookshelf where the books would "fall" out. Every summer I visited, my dad would take us there. Wish I could go back

[@canciana]

I went a few years ago when visiting Tokyo and I found it a bit inaccessible as a non-Japanese speaker. I liked the station more than the park haha. I wish I’d done more research before I went so I could’ve made more of my trip but I didn’t want to spoil anything. Happy to relive it through your video :)

[@afclements]

“This parfait is like my life. It has many layers and they all don’t make sense.” 🤣🤣🤣 literally laughed out loud!

[@sapphie_MEALS]

This is a dream for me! Definitely have to go there if I ever go to Japan. The items available for purchase are so adorable and there’s so many characters you don’t see too often. I’d love to see the Jewelpet and Mewkledreamy characters along with everyone else!

[@EBThisThat]

I already love everything about this ! I need to see this for myself ! It looks so whimsical, cute, adorable and just fun all around. Not only that but everyone is so polite and kind ! This is one of the main reasons I adore Japan ! Someday. Someday, I will cross this off my bucket list.

[@kimm59]

I loved Hello Kitty ever since it first came out I had no idea about all the other characters that have been created but I really enjoyed your tour and how you were thrilled and enjoyed the sampling of the adorable foods and flavors

[@Panda_Roll]

I'm glad the food has an english translation included in the description. I'm pescatarian so was worried about the language barrier for when I finally visit. Thank you for the fun vid

[@BloodyVisualKeiJoker]

me too. Im always scared of accidentally eating meat when i cant read the menu

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

as someone who doesn't eat pork, it can be pretty difficult to navigate food choices in japan sometimes

[@grapes2528]

I’m vegan so I don’t think I could eat anything there 😭 Even the soy milk yogurt has dairy whipped cream. I would probably have to eat beforehand lol

[@jamangel]

The place is so prepared it's amazing lol!!!!

[@rushtest4echo737]

Most of the stuff in Japan that looks like it "doesn't have meat" seems to have some fish based stock/seasoning anyway- but for a pescatarian you should be fine. Enjoy your fish flakes! ;)

[@DulyDullahan]

As a fairly recent Sanrio fan, I was mentally screaming “I want to go there. I want to go there! I WANT TO GO THERE!!” as the video progresses

[@kimackerman2183]

Those Sanrio characters doing funny movements and greetings guests😂 they are so adorable!! PomPom Purin, Hello Kitty and My Melody are my favorites💖

[@tobiwalker7145]

Reminded me of going into the Sanrio store at Northridge Mall when Sanrio was only available at the stores and we had no clue as to who the characters were except that they were astoundingly cute. Thank you for sharing.

[@molybdnum]

Love the "stained glass" ceiling at the train station

[@luckygurl70]

I went to Sanrio Puroland recently, it was definitely on my bucket list! I have watched your video before & I knew we were at the right train station because I remembered you pointed out the little Sanrio character figurines. Definitely a must see for Sanrio fans!

[@astriferous_]

When I went to Puroland, Kawaii Kabuki made me cry lol everyone was so cute!

[@lizwisecarver1756]

So cute! Wish we could have seen the kabuki with you! I like how excited you were to see Daniel, he never gets any love!

[@myon9431]

This was very well recorded! Looks really fun. Purin is my favourite!! Kitty

[@KittyWhite38]

ur vid is so in-depth u definitely captured the feel of the park better than other vids I've seen

[@celinepope]

I remember there was a Sanrio store at my local mall in Utah. Those days are long gone, but I wasn't old enough to appreciate it when it was around.

[@MioMaiaRaia]

I love the Disney videos, but it’s so fun when you visit other theme parks! Puroland is cute but it seems like it’s mostly photo spots, I’d still love to go someday. Thanks again for another fun video!

[@naturalnaiad]

I appreciate this in-depth walk around of Puroland

[@michaelottinger3661]

I’m glad that Chris didn’t complain about himself eating too much. That place looks like a lot of fun!! Oddly somewhat reminiscent of Casa Bonita-indoor for outdoor and More is More. Awesome! Thanks!

[@WitchingInLisaland]

This brought back so many memories from when my daughter and I went! I have a pic of her in that Cinnamoroll bus as well as many others. We went during Easter too so the signing looked just like it did when we went. I miss me some Fanta melon soda 😂😂. Especially cause it’s actually green 😁 Thank you so much for sharing!

[@bonniepruitt8849]

Thank you for the wonderful tour! This was completely delightful, and I would travel with you anytime.

[@yellow_maiden]

Been curious about what's inside Puroland. So basically it isn't like your typical amusement park that is full of rides. Maybe it is more for the experience of meeting the characters.

[@TahtahmesDiary]

Never enough Chococat love, but wow does it look magical!

[@noah1502]

Thanks for always providing useful and enjoyable content.

I really really enjoyed this video, it was a pleasure to see you so happy ☺ I always wondered what you could do in Puroland for a whole day, I thought that as it was an indoor theme park and seemingly aimed mostly at really small children it might end up being a bit boring for a full day, but after watching your video I think it's mostly about spending a whole day enjoying and living the quintessence of kawaii at its highest level 😂

I would love to someday take my older sister on a surprise trip here. I’m a bit worried with the lack of at least Kana on the map schedules but that is my worry about everything else in Japan. I’m fairly decent in listening and speaking but my reading is not great. I’d almost have to grab a family friend who was an exchange student from Southern Japan and offer to pay for transport and admission as a huge thank you.
