Jirai kei girls tips for Puroland ! ♡ Eviebunnie

 Good morning everybun♡

For today’s post, I wanted to share my most recent code and favourite tips for visiting Sanrio Puroland~

Puroland might be my favourite theme park to visit in the world; the rides are peaceful and cute, colours are pastel and pretty, lots of cute sweets & merchandise as well as the unforgettable parade shows and getting to meet some of my favourite characters of all time !!

That’s why whenever I go to Puroland, I like to try my best to coordinate a girly, fashionable outfit that is both practical to wear all day and fun for taking photos with the many spots throughout the park. While you might have seen my last post about the best photo spots, here I wanted to share some of my outfit and accessory tips for getting the best experience at Puroland as a ryousangata or jirai girl~

#1 Plan your outfit the night before + bring comfy clothes / spare shoes 

It sounds simple, but I really recommend planning what you want to wear to the park the day (or, a couple days before!) you decide to go. Firstly, it saves you time in the morning when you have to get up early to leave for the park, and secondly it helps when you’re planning what character you’ll be representing with the cute ears and accessories!

For example, I planned this coordinate with My Melody in mind to keep lots of white and a baby pink handbag to match her baby pink ears. For a jirai touch I paired this outfit with my Yosuke platform trainers, Justin David and Vivienne Westwood rings. You don’t always need to perfectly match a character, but it is nice to know your outfit works well with them~

Shoes are also very important! While I have worn platform heels like Bubbles many times to Puroland, I always keep a comfy extra pair in my bag. I really recommend the Don Quiote (My Melody) crocs as they are super light to carry and still cute, so even if you end up getting photos not wearing your heels they’re still going to be pretty!!♡

#2 bring plenty of props for otaku activities 

This is one I really recommend, but bring many of your favourite characters accessories to Puroland !~♡

Many jirai girls bring ita bags, plushies, acrylic stands, etc of their oshi to Puroland and you can take the cutest photos. I brought some Madoka accessories with me as well as the doll I have of her, and love the photos you can take!! Some of the spaces at Puroland are very small and work well for dolls, plushies or acrylic stands of your oshi!!
They also have many goods you can purchase for your oshi such as custom penlights, charms, etc…

#3 take plenty of ambience photos and try the adorable crepes 

I think my best sweets recommendation at Puroland is the character crepe, and whilst I always get My Melody, there are so many characters to choose from!! It makes for a lovely photo, tastes pretty good and you can get lots of lovely drinks from the same stand such as bubble tea or soda. This is located in the main food hall!

I’d also recommend trying any of the limited food that you see for sale there- most likely it’ll be super adorable and make your visit even more special~

Many of the ambience photos I take work really well for a great jirai or ryousangata Instagram feed, or, even better, serve as happy memories to look back on♡

#4 bring a penlight and book the parade seats in advance

Puroland has a lot of different parades on depending on the season and time of day..! I definitely recommend researching what the special parade is for the season you are visiting and watching that for an unforgettable experience. The parade is free to watch, but you do have to book front row spots in advance via the app or website♡

I recommend just standing at the area around 30-40minutes early so you can get a good view if you don’t want to spend more money. And, of course buying an adorable lightstick from the gift shop!~

Sanrio’s Miracle gift parade is a wonderful experience to meet new characters you might not know and enjoy catchy songs, I really recommend it! In my experience I love the front row seats as it gives you a chance to interact with the characters and get the best photos…!

#5 explore the park slowly until closing time 

One of my favourite past times at Puroland is just to simply wander and let your eyes look at all the beautiful details you might not miss while on the rides and at the events, such as pretty wallpaper, themed vending machines and even paintings in some of the bathrooms…!♡

This also includes just having those happy moments to share with your friends dressed up as your favourite characters (we went as Kuromi, Kitty and Melo!) and it was just so much fun. Usually I am in a bit of a rush to get home from Puroland and don’t stay until it closes, but this time it was so lovely to take the day slowly and look back at the beautiful rainbow gates enhanced by the light rain.

hope this post is helpful for your visit to Puroland !~ ♡

I’ll try to keep more consistent with writing on this blog- it can be tricky when life is so busy but there’s so much I want to share with you angels…

♡ Sanrio Puroland | How to meet My Melody & the best ryousangata photo spots!~ ♡

 Good morning everybun! ♡

For today's blog post, I really wanted to share some of the cute and happy moments from a super fun day at Sanrio Puroland with my adorable friend, and also some of my favourite photo spots that are popular with Jirai-kei and Ryousangata type girls, as well as advice for if you are thinking of visiting Puroland too~ ♪

This was my 4th visit to Puroland,….! We managed to see so many things and enjoy the cute Puro atmosphere, as well as take so many cute photos hehe…! ♪~

Outfit details 

Dress: Ank Rouge x Sweet Piano

Pouch bag: Sanrio Sweet Piano Birthday 2023 collection

Headband: Sanrio Sweet Piano Birthday 2023 collection

Hair ribbons: Paris Kids

Shoes: Buffalo 

Photo recommendation: heart headband pose 

This adorable pose is one I was inspired to try from photos on insta, but it’s where you pose the headbands together to look a little like a heart!~ This works best with matching headbands, but you can also try a cute contrast like My Melody and Kuromi ♡

You can use many different backgrounds for this pose depending on the characters you’re representing, but I recommend a background that has shows some of Puroland’s adorable wallpaper, like this one outside of ‘Lady Kitty’s Mansion’~♪  For an extra bit of cuteness, make sure to show your cute ita nails in the photo, and edit in sparkles with an app like ‘Snow’!

Photo recommendation: character greeting 

For the next photo, I wanted to share a cute candid from meeting my idol, My Melody!
In order to meet the Puro cast, you can check their app or website to see what characters are available that day~♪ Next, book a slot on the machines that can be found in the Puro Village (bottom floor) near the Wisdom Tree, in the entertainment hall. If you really love a character and it’s your dream to meet them, I really recommend researching the day they’re at Puro beforehand so you can definitely meet them! ♡

This was my first time meeting My Melo, despite having gone to Puroland so many times.. and it was so so special! She is so sweet

For my photo recommendation for this spot, I would say candid hugging photos are really the cutest for sure!! the staff take many photos for you, and it is a really adorable keepsake. For the character meet, it’s best to enjoy yourself and the photos will definitely be cute!~♪ 

Photo recommendation: My Melo drive

This adorable strawberry wall is in the entertainment hall of puroland, and has become one of my favourite photo spots for how cute and perfect it is!♡
The My Melo car is actually the same as the ones on ‘My Melo Drive’ ride, which you can also get a souvenir photo of. However, this photo spot is a little more cute because of the background, and you can get a better quality, closer up photo~♪

Photo recommendation: strawberry carriage 

This might be my favourite photo spot ever…♡

I really felt like a Princess, and the pastel pink colours are too perfect. You can also take photos in this carriage with friends, or bring your itabag hehe~
This photo spot is too adorable, and is conveniently located next to Lady Kitty’s House!

Photo recommendation: My Melody’s room

This photo spot is seriously perfect for My Melody theme codes♡

The twin chairs would look super cute with a friend, and you can get creative with props and accessories to match the delicious cake!

I really loved the delicate cherry blossom background too, so beautiful…

and the statue of My Melody is too perfect for outfit codes ! I recommend wearing platform shoes for this pose~

Photo recommendation: Puro Shop 

One of my favourite photo types is to pose with various merchandise I really love at Sanrio Puroland…!~♪

This particular shop is for a character called ‘Wish me Mell’, an adorable fluffy white bunny with a rainbow tail. I really loved how pink it was, so it was perfect for photos

Thank you so much for reading angels♡

I also have more Puro photos in one of my previous trip blog posts, which you can read here ! Hopefully I’ve covered all the cutest photo spots here, but there’s even more in that post hehe… I’ll also be planning new photo ideas and a vlog too on my next trip, so please look forward to that~♪

Lots of love,

♡ A day at Universal Studios Japan! | Winter 2022 ♡

 

Good morning everybun~♪

For today’s blog post, I’m so excited to share all the details about my most recent (and first!) trip to Universal Studios Japan…! ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭* ੈ✩‧₊˚ We had such an incredible time there, and it was so unique…!♡

Although I’m not a huge minions fan, I do love this unicorn character, hehe!

♡ Travelling to USJ ♡

We travelled from our hotel in Kyoto to Osaka (where USJ is located) via the train, and took the JR Kyoto line…! ♪ It only took about half an hour to get to Osaka, and another 25 minutes to USJ. Once we arrived in Osaka, it was so lovely to just explore a little and check out all the shops before entering the park. There was even a Tully's Coffee shop where we tried the limited seasonal drinks, so refreshing~ I’d really recommend checking the cafe’s around the park before visiting, as there is no queue for them, and they have good options for cute and veggie/vegan things, such as this açai berry smoothie…!

♡ New York & Hollywood area ♡

So honestly, while I was walking around here it was a little overwhelming due to how big the park was and crowded…! Despite that, we didn’t have to queue at the park gates, yay!~♪

The first thing I noticed was the Jujitsu Kaisen section of the park, it was so cool…! There were many pillars with artwork of the characters, character goods in the shop, food related to the series, and of course, themed activities too! Of course, I had to take a photo with bae, hehe…!

This section of the park changes quite a lot, and I was a little disappointed that we had missed the Demon Slayer theme. However, this was still so cool to see…! I really loved seeing the New York style decorations around this area, especially Spider Man!

There was also this huge Christmas tree, which was so beautiful and festive! The whole tree was covered with sparkling lights, which looked so pretty later on that day~♪

♡ Harry Potter area ♡

I didn’t expect to really spend much time looking around this part of the park, but strangely it was actually really fun and well made? I’m not really a Harry Potter fan because of the author, but I do love fantasy so thought I’d have fun and try out being a Hogwarts transfer student for the day, hehe…

The castle looked absolutely incredible ! I really loved all the small details and how all the main buildings from the series had been included. The traditional sweets shops, pub and cobbled streets were all so cute! There was also a live show, where students from each house preformed a dance~♪

We then decided to visit the food hall, as it looked just like the movies…! As it was quite a sunny day, it also seemed like a good idea to sit inside where you could rest. There was pretty much only meat options for sale, but thankfully I spotted a couple dessert options we could share♡

I tried this lemonade, and it was quite refreshing and nice! You had the option to buy drinks in either this Harry Potter themed cup, or a plastic butterbeer cup. I chose this one as I’d already had butterbeer as a child and didn’t quite feel like trying it again, hehe…! The hall was also so beautiful, although we were so tired after queuing for a long time~

Here is what I chose! This dessert took a while to arrive as it is a smoking cauldron, and looked amazing…! Perfect for photos if you’re dressing up as a character. This is a lemon flavoured sponge cake~ Unfortunately, I can’t say that it tasted all that great… the sponge was very dry, not fresh at all and the cream/sauce tasted synthetic. I’d only really recommend this for photos~♪

I took some photos with my Jyushi plush, since he matches the dessert so well ♡

♡ overall thoughts and rating of this park ♡

Overall, I enjoyed visiting Universal Studios Japan! There were many cute things to look at and despite the crowds, we had a great day. However, because of the crowds, we weren’t able to do any rides or properly enjoy a lot of the attractions, and queuing for snacks that were overpriced but did not taste nice wasn’t so good. Actually, we ended up leaving early to go back to Kyoto, as there were just much more fun things to do there…!~♪ I also didn’t end up buying anything from this theme park as the merchandise wasn’t very cute.

So whilst I’d recommend this park, I’d say that Disney and Puroland are far better theme parks to visit in Japan! This is mainly because I found the shopping, food and drink options much better in those parks, but if you’re not a vegan and like meat perhaps you’d not be bothered by this. And if you do visit Universal Studios here, maybe try not to go on a weekend. I think next time I’m in Japan, I’ll give this park one more try when it’s a weekday. 

Thank you so much for reading…! ♡
