Welcome to Hello Kitty Park!
Japan’s most popular cat is expanding its presence, and is even claiming a new theme park in Tokyo.
“Kawaii” is the Japanese word for cute, and that’s the best description for the products at the Hello Kitty Park.
One thousand of them are newly launched items. Given the popularity of Hello Kitty over the years, the park is targeting not only the young ones, but also their mothers. Pleasure Cast director Aritaka Uneda said: “Hello Kitty celebrated her 35th birthday last year. Those who first met her when young are now about 40 years old.
The entertainment in the park is also not confined to Japanese. It features a theatre which offers shows in five languages.
The park also features an exclusive four-metre tall Hello Kitty, the highest standing Hello Kitty in the world.
