Harmony Land’s ferris wheel is hard to miss as it towers over the surrounding countryside and only heightens the excitement that fans of Sanrio’s characters entertain when visiting this park, where the theme is firmly on ‘kawai’, or cute. The ever popular Hello Kitty, takes centre stage and is surrounded by her sibling characters, including Cinnamon and My Melody.
Harmony Land’s attractions include Kitty Castle which is home to Hello Kitty, Sanrio Boat Ride, Harmony Train as well as merry-go-rounds, coasters, gondola rides and the Wonder Panorama ferris wheel. Other attractions, which any older child would like, include Ninja Trial, which tests athletic skills, and electric go-karts. Most rides are suitable for children from four years when accompanied by an adult, and also anyone young-at-heart.
The highlight, however, is the enchanting live shows, including Parade Parallel. The shows change according to the season. An especially magical atmosphere is engendered during nighttime specials and at Halloween and Christmas.
