If you enjoy the annual Sanrio Character Ranking, did you know there’s also an annual event in Japan where they announce the winners? It’s called Sanrio FES and includes a stage show with all the characters plus photo ops, stamp rally and cute character food. Tickets are very limited so you’ll need to be ready to snap them up next year but they also stream the show on the offical Sanrio Japan channel – watch this year’s event above.
It’s a lot easier to visit Sanrio Puroland, the official theme park in Tokyo, and they also have live shows and cute cafes. sleepyydragon has a detailed video of their day out that shows both, plus the rides, shops and cute decor.
