Sanrio Puroland is an indoor theme park in Tama City, five minutes on foot from Tama Center Station, built around Hello Kitty and the other Sanrio characters. A day there is mostly watching: a parade, theater shows, character greetings. Of the ten attractions on a standard passport, three are rides.
Four conditions decide it, in this order:
- Who wants Sanrio. If one of you would plan a day around a character or the shows, the program is built for that. If nobody would and rides are the point, skip it.
- The ride out. About 30 minutes on the Keio Line from Shinjuku. From Tokyo Station, change at Shinjuku.
- The date. A Day passport costs ¥3,900 to ¥6,900 per adult by date, some weekdays are closed, and weekends add a stroller rule.
- Hours, the tie-break. The cheaper Afternoon passport, in from 2 p.m., works if your shows run after two.

Sanrio Puroland Ticket in Tokyo on Klook
A dated Sanrio Puroland admission ticket you can book in English on Klook. Puroland also needs a visit reservation for most tickets, so check the listing's entry terms before you book.
Check the Sanrio Puroland ticket on Klook →Sold on Klook (Klook Travel Technology Limited), an online travel agency. Klook does not appear on the ticket list on Puroland's own site, which sells its own e-passport with the visit reservation included. Puroland's entry guide says every ticket except that e-passport also needs a visit reservation, made on the park's website or app. Before you pay, check on the listing: your date, how the ticket is used at the gate, whether you still need the visit reservation, and the cancellation terms.
First: who in your party actually wants Sanrio
The current program includes The Quest of Wonders Parade; KAWAII KABUKI, the Momotaro folk tale played by a Hello Kitty troupe; and a show called beyond words. Two greeting attractions come with the passport: Character Residence, five themed rooms where you take photos with characters, and Lady Kitty House. Character Residence runs on numbered tickets. From opening time, characters also come out for a welcome greeting near the stage on the first floor, and who comes is not announced ahead.
The rides are a boat ride with Sanrio characters, a My Melody and Kuromi drive ride, and a Cinnamoroll attraction in the Discovery Theater, which has a height limit. A play area, Fuwafuwa Kids Land, is for children up to elementary-school age, and preschoolers need a guardian of junior-high age or older with them on attractions. Everything past the gate is indoors.
If the reason to go is one particular character, look before you commit. The park publishes the schedule for some character appearances and not others, and says those schedules can change without notice.
If the group wants rides, Puroland will not supply them: three rides fill the list. That is the day to compare Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea instead.
Second: the ride out to Tama Center
Three lines stop at Tama Center, and the park gives these times:
- Keio Line to Keio Tama Center: about 30 minutes from Shinjuku on a Special Express.
- Odakyu Line to Odakyu Tama Center: about 12 minutes from Shin-Yurigaoka, where you change from the Odakyu main line.
- Tama Monorail to Tama Center: about 23 minutes from Tachikawa.
From Yokohama it is about an hour, on the JR Yokohama Line with a change to the Keio Line at Hashimoto. From Tokyo Station, Ueno or Asakusa there is no direct train: you ride to Shinjuku first, then take the Keio Line, so add that leg each way.
From the Keio central gate or the Odakyu west gate, the park is a five-minute walk. A walkway from the station suits strollers and wheelchairs, and the park entrance is on the third floor of the building.
If your hotel is near Shinjuku or along the Keio Line, the trip is one 30-minute ride, short enough to pair a morning elsewhere with an Afternoon passport. From the east side it is two trains each way, and the visit competes with other day trips from Tokyo for the same slot. If the hotel is not booked yet, where to stay in Tokyo compares the areas.
The railways sell their own bundles. The Keio Amusement Passport is sold at Keio and Inokashira Line stations, on the day only, and is exchanged at the park’s ticket window. Puroland also lists Day passports bundled with a Keio and Inokashira Line one-day ticket or with an Odakyu round-trip ticket, sold online through EMot; the Keio one is dated and cannot be canceled. An IC card covers the plain fares (Suica or PASMO).
Third: the date, which sets the price, the hours and the rules
Puroland prices each day separately and closes on some weekdays. These dates come from the park’s calendar as read on October 24, 2026, at ticket-window prices:
| Date (2026) | Hours | Day passport, adult / child or senior | Afternoon passport (from 2 p.m.), adult / child or senior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tue, Dec 1 | 10:00–17:00 | ¥3,900 / ¥2,800 | ¥2,800 / ¥2,500 |
| Tue–Thu, Nov 10–12 | 9:30–17:00 | ¥4,300 / ¥3,200 | ¥3,000 / ¥2,700 |
| Sat, Nov 7 | 8:30–18:00 | ¥5,900 / ¥4,800 | ¥4,000 / ¥3,700 |
| Sun, Nov 22 | 8:30–18:00 | ¥6,600 / ¥5,500 | ¥4,400 / ¥4,100 |
| Mon–Wed, Dec 28–30 | 10:00–18:00 | ¥6,600 / ¥5,500 | ¥4,400 / ¥4,100 |
Adult means 18 to 64. Child means 3 to 17, high-school students included; senior is 65 and over. Children 2 and under get in free. The park’s own e-passport costs ¥100 less than these window prices, and its price table goes up to ¥6,900 for an adult Day passport.
For two adults and two children, one of the mid-November weekdays comes to ¥15,000. The Saturday before comes to ¥21,400.
Closed days through the end of 2026: November 4–5, November 24–26, December 3 and December 9–10. Opening hours change from day to day, so check the calendar for your date rather than assuming a pattern.
Two rules follow the date. On weekends, holidays, and weekdays that stay open until 6 p.m., strollers are not allowed on the first and second floors. And while the whole park is indoors, the line to get in is outside, so on a wet morning you wait under your own umbrella.
Fourth, the tie-break: half a day or the whole day
The Afternoon passport admits you from 2 p.m. On the November Saturday in the table, that leaves four hours before closing; on the mid-November weekdays, which close at 5 p.m., it leaves three.
That is enough if the parade or the shows you came for run after 2 p.m. The park posts parade and show times up to two weeks ahead, so you can check before you buy. If the times are not posted yet, or the one show you want is in the morning, the Day passport is the safe choice.
A few details change how long a day feels. Re-entry is allowed on any day: you get a stamp on your hand at the exit. Packed lunches, fast food and alcohol cannot be brought in. Lockers on the third floor take cashless payment and cost ¥300 to ¥1,000.
PUROPASS is the park’s paid priority system. Priority entry costs ¥1,500 per person, or ¥2,500 for a pair, and reserved parade seats cost ¥1,000 to ¥3,000; both are sold in advance through Lawson Ticket. On the day, the park also sells priority passes for its theaters and some attractions.
With a stroller-age child, the stroller rule can pick the date before the ticket does: it does not apply on weekdays that close at 5 p.m.
Tickets: the passport and the visit reservation
To get in you need two things: a passport (the ticket) and a visit reservation. A reservation alone does not admit you, and a passport without a reservation is turned away at the gate, with no refund.
- The park’s e-passport is the only ticket that includes the reservation. It costs ¥100 less than the window, enters directly from your phone, and can be canceled in your account until 11:59 p.m. the day before. Buying it requires a Sanrio+ membership.
- Convenience-store tickets (Lawson, FamilyMart) are dated and cannot be canceled. You add the reservation yourself.
- The ticket window opens 30 minutes before the park and stops selling 90 minutes before closing. You still need a reservation. Same-day reservations stay open while slots remain, up to 90 minutes before closing, and more slots are added around opening time.
- Travel-agency vouchers are exchanged for a passport at the ticket window, and also need the reservation.
Puroland’s own ticket page does not list Klook among its sales channels. If you have fixed the date and want the ticket settled in English before the trip, the choice is between the park’s e-passport, which carries the reservation, and a reseller listing such as Klook’s, where you confirm how the ticket is used at the gate and whether you still make the reservation on the park’s site or app.

So it works on the day
Take a mid-November weekday, starting from Shinjuku. The calendar shows the park open from 9:30 to 5 p.m. at the ¥4,300 adult price. Book the ticket and the reservation for that date, then check the show times on the park’s schedule once they appear, two weeks out.
On the day, the Keio Special Express takes about 30 minutes to Keio Tama Center. Walk five minutes and go up to the third-floor entrance. Leave bags in a locker, and plan to eat inside or step out and come back with the hand stamp. If it is raining, carry an umbrella for the line outside.
For the whole trip, what a Japan trip costs puts the ticket next to everything else. Puroland’s prices peak around holidays, so when to visit Japan helps if your dates are still open.
Next
Open the calendar on Puroland’s ticket page and look at your dates: open or closed, the price, and the closing time. If a fan in your party is set on going, that date picks the ticket.
If nobody is, Tokyo has other ways to spend the same half day: teamLab Planets or Borderless, or the Harry Potter studio tour for a film fan.
