Harmonyland: The Hello Kitty Theme Park
If you're a Hello Kitty fan and you've never been to Harmonyland, you don't know what you're missing. It's designed to look like Disneyland. The only difference? Everything in the Harmonyland's theme is devoted to Hello Kitty! The rides (including roller coasters, teapots and a huge ferris wheel) are completely immersed in Hello Kitty. Even the meals follow a Hello Kitty theme (you'll see what I mean when you order a hamburger).
The Harmonyland theme park is located in Kyushu, Japan. So, if you're not currently living in Japan, visiting the park may be a little out of reach. However, if you're planning to go to Japan on vacation, take the time during your trip to visit this park. When you arrive, grab a map. Harmonyland is big and there's a lot to see!
In the middle of the park, you'll find a huge castle. There are a lot of rooms that are decorated with Hello Kitty ornaments. For big fans of Kitty, you can even book one of these rooms for your wedding. The theme park is often called the "Land of Smiles" and it's no wonder why! Everywhere you look, there are people dazzled by the pictures and decorations of Hello Kitty. When you visit the theme park, you'll have the chance to meet Kitty and all of her friends. Plus, you'll be able to buy all the merchandise you'd like.
