SANRIO CHARACTERS KAWAII TOWN

The event brings together a selection of exhibits and content that have proven popular in Korea, Tokyo, and at Sanrio theme parks, with much of the lineup making its Kyushu debut.

The centrepiece of the event is the Sanrio Characters Town, a space designed to resemble a town populated by Sanrio characters. It features large balloons of approximately two metres in height alongside panel displays introducing the backgrounds of 90 individual characters. The Sanrio Lovers School, another Kyushu-first attraction, is themed around a school setting and was previously popular in Korea. Visitors can take photos with characters dressed in school uniforms, as well as decorated lockers and desks.

A greeting area will also be set up within the venue, where characters will make appearances on scheduled dates. Details on the greeting schedule are available on the official E·ZO website.

Two workshops will be offered during the event period. The first is a mini eraser packing activity, popular at Sanrio Puroland, where participants fill a case with mini erasers featuring 14 different characters. The second is a bisque painting experience, in which visitors colour an unglazed character figurine to create an original object. Daily capacity for workshops is limited.

A merchandise area will carry Sanrio Puroland exclusive goods alongside other items. Further details on the merchandise lineup are to be announced.

Visitors are also encouraged to visit the permanent Sanrio Characters Dream!ng Park on the 7th floor of the same building, which features four attractions and one of the largest Sanrio goods shops in western Japan. Admission to Dream!ng Park is free.
