This is probably every girl's dream world!
At Sanrio Harmony Land in Oita, Kyushu, the entire park is surrounded by the cute magic of Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Kuromi, making even the air feel pink and sparkly✨. As soon as we entered, we came across a bubble water-gun party. The kids jumped around amid bubbles filling the air, and the whole opening felt like falling into a fairy tale—dreamy and fun!
My daughter happened to visit on her birthday, and after receiving a birthday pin, she immediately unlocked the special birthday perks! Not only could she shake hands with Sanrio characters, but she could also join a Happy Birthday show, where Hello Kitty and My Melody appeared in person to sing and dance for the birthday girl.
Every ride in the park is perfect for little kids: a water-gun shooting ride, Ferris wheel, flying ships, roller coaster, and the much-anticipated Kuromi- and My Melody-themed lunch. It completely fulfilled a little girl's dream list.
The one thing you absolutely shouldn't miss is Hello Kitty Castle. Stepping inside the pink castle feels like entering Kitty's secret home, with cute furniture and dreamy rooms, and at the end, you can even take a photo with Hello Kitty.
The signature show, Parade Parallel, features dreamy bubbles floating everywhere and dazzling special effects. Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel lead the way, followed by My Melody, Kuromi, Pompompurin, Cinnamoroll, and the rest of the characters, all dressed in elaborate, gorgeous costumes. Unlike the distant feeling at typical large theme parks, the circular stage here brings the characters and dancers very close to the audience. Every wave and wink feels like they're greeting us personally. Watching the characters lead everyone in singing and dancing, the children around us were so excited that they danced along, and even the adults were swept up in that pure joy and couldn't help clapping to the beat.
