Sanrio Puroland theme park is the most like Disneyland in terms of shows and costumes — but geared for the Hello Kitty fanatic. It’s also not swarming with couples AND way less busy than it’s mousy counterpart receiving only 1.5 million visitors a year (Disneyland gets almost 20 millions visitors per year). No wonder it’s on our list of top 6 alternatives to Disneyland.

There’s no shortage of entertainment here either — with shows, parades, meet and greets, shops and rides all on the docket. Plus restaurants for when you need a snack break!

The theme park is a 5-minute walk from Tama Center Station, which is about 28 minutes from Shinjuku Station on the Keio Line bound for Hashimoto.
