Is Sanrio Puroland the Ultmate Kawaii Destination or What? It's been a long time coming, way before the cat cafe and all. but we finally did it! We went to Sanrio Puroland!

http://www.jonawanders.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
I've heard about this area from friends and students many times in the past. Even though I had the curiosity, I've never found a time to visit. until now!
