a 39 minute train ride from Shinjuku is
Thomas enter station and kitty-chan has
a home here in Tokyo cute adorable
kawaii
that's Hello Kitty one of the most
recognizable characters in the world
from Japan it's my first time here and
I'm Way too old for it or am i hello and
welcome to the cutest place on earth if
not at least in the city of Tokyo that
behind me is sanrio puroland and this is
where Hello Kitty resides when she's in
the city of Tokyo there might be a mouse
that disagrees with me this place is
pretty unique it's a great place where
for families to come especially kids but
believe it or not a lot of adults will
come here too I'm not really good with
cats so I brought somebody who is that
there's Jennifer and we did a cat cafe
episode a couple of years ago what is a
secret to working with cats I think that
cat said you'd rather let them come to
us and good to them you got to give them
respect yes but the thing is
hey look it's your cats I don't know is
she let's go find out there's a lot I
don't know about Hello Kitty inside this
big building is a whole world of cute
this indoor theme park opened in 1990
and attracts 1.5 million visitors a year
weekday tickets are 3300 yen for adults
and 2500 yen for kids but with online
discounts for after 2 p.m. it's much
less that's a fraction of the price
compared to that other park with that
Mouse on the other side of town we went
on a weekday morning and was surprised
there were no crowds at all there are a
lot of shows with bright colors I'd
never seen before it dazzles the eye
maybe not so much the ears but the
energy is amazing it truly is Japanese
call a culture on full display for kids
and fans it's a big deal to see your
Idol in person you'll have lots of
chances to see Kitty China she zips
across the high ceilings or dances on
stage surrounding the wisdom tree in the
center is the photo village the tree
gives you a nice look out over the
village
inside there's a kitty-chan shrine kind
of bizarre and unexpected ring that bell
and perhaps an angel somewhere gets its
wings there are nine main attractions in
proto land on two floors we tried the
boat ride it's very much like Disney's
small world
[Music]
we entered so many rooms
[Music]
and yes photos are encouraged here I was
caught in the act
time to hit that colorful first floor
food court there are two here the other
upstairs we found something we couldn't
pass up coloured curry rice whoa I have
never seen this color before in the
history of curry rice I mean it's right
right it's blue curry this is so cool I
like how I guess it's the sky and you
see clouds floating in it with the moon
and stars I love this this character is
called cinnamon cinnamon and this
particular dish is he's sleeping so he
spelled oh yes me cinnamon I'm sleeping
like this cute very cute if you want to
get Jennifer to smile feed her
Jennifer went in first she's a food
critic but the oddness of it got her
excited seriously seriously
this is good it's good alright let's try
some blue curry here I have to be honest
I was skeptical this was going to taste
good or even be edible
well oh wow that's really good
I don't know what the blue flavor is
actually but it tastes like normal curry
rice I'm surprised I mean it's not for
the colors this is really real curry I'm
a little shocked actually that Jennifer
approved
yes that's right a ham sausage slice for
an eye I do feel bad destroying his face
or her face
you have blue all over your lips it's
good right now this is the My Melody
Halloween special curry
I like that her ears are not like Indian
bread this is gonna be pretty
interesting I've never seen pink naan
before this could be a hit in India or
it could be a complete disaster I'm not
sure what do you guys think try it this
is pink curry in India I don't think I'd
ever seen colored nun or curry quite
like this pink curry
it's a little bit doughy yeah but
correct yeah I wouldn't say it's the
best non in the world but it's not bad
I feel sad destroying my Melody's face
though because it's food right you got
to eat it but it just feels bad cuz it's
so cute it's always hard to say goodbye
but I have a feeling kids won't have any
trouble biting into it Stratus
it's very good it's interesting because
I don't think that the flavor of this
curry is any different than this one
despite the tip the fact that the colors
are different this curry tastes pretty
much the same really yeah
good
it's sweet is it give it a try so maybe
it's a sweet potato yeah
[Music]
that's good right it is we're just like
a sweet potato I think so yeah
I think they've innovated it to make it
close to that value but it's not every
day that you come here right so you know
you have to try it at least once you
know I think if you do go to a theme
park you're never really gonna pay a
cheap price for anything if you're gonna
pay a premium for food you're gonna pray
a premium for all of the gifts that you
buy here right but at the end of it did
you feel happy did you get a little bit
of that big smile I think I think so we
are on the second floor food court is
this strange but cute goodie Tama roast
beef bowl he's wrapped in a meat blanket
interesting the seasonal kitty burger
with pink bun the guts look like this
take that new energy to the game center
I'm not very good at those UFO catchers
the crane games so off to another
attraction we walk through Perot village
to get there
[Music]
yeah we're gonna go try this ride now I
see a lot of adults here without kids
it's a little weird but I get it if you
grew up with Hello Kitty you'd want to
experience what made you happy and it's
hard not to be happy here
[Music]
the gift shop was really cool including
these chopsticks for kids everything in
the Hello Kitty universe seemed to be
here I didn't get anything because I was
experienced kid each on overload but
fans better bring a lot of cash and some
big suitcases to carry at home no matter
your age there seems to be something for
everyone
[Music]
Wow that was a really fun experience
here at Sun where you'll put a line what
did you think I just loved it
yes great you know you can't really
compare this to Tokyo Disneyland it's
just a completely different experience I
think it's not quite as big but big
packet a lot of cuteness in one area and
I think that's pretty cool and you can
eat you can enjoy attractions
yeah the shows are pretty fun aspect of
it the food the entertainment just
walking around this place Jennifer was
bitten and infected by that kawaii happy
bug what did you think best amusement
