Then what happened? The raincoat was too small even though I chose M-size based on her body size I measured. I couldn’t button (snapfasten) fully because it was too tight. I totally recommend you should consider larger size (L-size instead of M-size, for example) if you purchase a raincoat for your dog from idog store.

The raincoat is made just like the one for human. You can also adjust the hood by pulling the strings. (But Pi-chan dislikes wearing a hood.)

I had it exchanged to L-size but the color was not available so I agreed with it in a different color. I was supposed to place a harness or a collar before I dress her a raincoat because there is a small hole in the raincoat from which I can find a ring to connect a loop clutch of the leash.

I’ve wanted a raincoat for Pi-chan for a long time but I think I needed a trigger. Pi-chan can do without a walk, because she can also go to a toilet inside the house. So I simply didn’t walk her on a rainy day before.

So how was her walk in raincoat? L-size was much better, but I had to say she needs a raincoat to protect her belly from splash rather than the rain that makes her back wet. Rain can be easier. But her belly became so dirty with splashed water and dirt. I had to wash not only her paws but also her belly after the walk. Hmm…I’d rather postpone a walk in a rainy day. Because I live in an apartment, I cannot walk her the common area of the apartment. I have to hold her under my arm, and my clothes also get dirty. >_< More and more labor increases because of a walk in a rainy day!

I wonder if the raincoat can be extended to the marked area. It’s only my opinion but I want to protect her belly from dirt more than anything in a rainy day.

Next, the set of harness and leash looks so kawaii as well.

I like its towel texture inside. But the material seems very light and not so strong. If your dog pulls well, you may feel this leash not strong enough. To Pi-chan, it was no problem.

Lovely Pi-chan!! I love how she looks with this harness.

However what I didn’t like about the product was this marked part bowing outward. This part is not adjustable.

Otherwise, I liked the color and design, especially that the collar also looks a part of a set. ^ ^

If you are looking for a kawaii dog clothing and goods from Japan online, check out idog. But I recommend you should choose a bigger size if you purchase a raincoat. I don’t know about shirts and sweaters but I think they are more flexible because they can stretch, depending on the material. I hope to blog about those if I have a chance in the future. I’m personally in love with their kawaii design basically.

It is a really long ride from the city area. From Shibuya, it takes about 40minutes.

Honestly, I’m not a fan of Hello Kitty. I don’t dislike it, but I don’t go crazy over it either. I was not very keen on going there actually, but my friend was a fan of Hello Kitty, so off we went to check Sanrio Puroland out.

There are often discounts and promotions to Sanrio Puroland, so make sure you check the website before you go. You can always find discount coupons or special offers. Be sure to check the operating hours of Sanrio Puroland too. You don’t want to get all excited about this trip, taking a long train ride, only to arrive there and find out it’s going to close in less than 2 hours’ time (which is what happened to my friend and I).

There are not many attractions in Sanrio Puroland. However, if you’re a fan of Hello Kitty, be sure to check out Kitty House.

You’ll be able to explore the house of Hello Kitty, and you can see all its lovely Kitty furniture.

I guess all Hello Kitty fans would go “WOWWWW” and “YAYYYYY!!!” as they enter each room of Kitty House. And maybe the occasional excited “NYAN NYAN NYAN!!!” I don’t know. How are Hello Kitty fans like? I know I go, “AWWWWWWW!!! YOU’RE SOOOOO CUTEEEEE!!! I’m going to buy you home, kiss you, have you sleep beside me, take many pictures of you and I together and create wonderful memories!!!!” when I see a Rilakkuma nuigurumi (which means soft, cuddly toys in Japanese. I sneak in a Japanese lesson for you!! Hahaha!).

Anyway, don’t get so freaked out about my reaction towards Rilakkuma. It’s cute, ok? It makes me go crazy. But if I really do buy it home, I somehow don’t do anything I promised it when I found it at the store, except maybe sleep with it.

Everyone were taking pictures inside Kitty House.

No I’m sorry these are not for sale.

I was very bored in Kitty House (Hello Kitty fans, don’t bite me!). I’d seen all the Hello Kitty furniture in my guidebook. And they looked exactly the same as what I saw in Kitty House, so there was no surprise or delight for me. (Which is why I won’t post all my Kitty House pictures here and spoil your trip.) But little things like this goldfish bowl by Kitty’s bedside kept me amused and rather happy. Hahahaha!

I also had fun looking at her bookshelf. So apparently, Kitty-chan reads Shakespeare! Very impressive. We’ll have something to talk about when we meet. Hahaha!

And indeed, we met!

Wahoo! Kitty-chan is all dressed up!

Here’s the inside of Sanrio Puroland.

So, remember I said I was bored right?

But you know, just before Puroland closes, all the characters will come out, and you can take pictures with them!!!!!

Now, that was really awesome and super fun!

The tiny mascots are always mobbed by children. Hahaha!

Finally we could see the character’s face. Haha! Charmmy Kitty?

OMG! I love Badtz Maru!! He’s so super funny! Hahaha! He gave me and my friend a flying kiss! Hahahaha! Just imagine him doing a flying kiss with that funny face of his! I love him!

And Dear Daniel was such a charming Ikemen! Haha! I understand why Kitty chan fell for him. Hahaha!

Here’s my favourite character, Baby Cinnamon, with my excited friend. Haha!

Remember to check out Sanrio’s merchandise in the many souvenir shops in Sanrio Puroland before you leave. There are certain merchandise that are not available elsewhere.

In conclusion, you can have happy memories at Sanrio Puroland even though you are not a fan of Hello Kitty. Sanrio has many adorable characters which you can admire or reminisce with your friend. We saw characters like Keroppi, Badtz Maru, Little Twin Stars, My Melody, Usahana, Purin, Pochacco, Pekkie, Kuromi etc…

I used to like Little Twin Stars a lot. I used to buy their tin-can candies when I was a kid. The candies were powdery and had sweet, fragrant, fruity flavours. I just loved the whole pastel-colour look. Those were really good memories. Didn’t we all own a Sanrio product once? I remember I loved to sketch the characters onto my notebook.

Who’s your favourite Sanrio character and why do you love him/her? Let’s share our memories together!

Next to the Kitty statue, there is a Hello Kitty shop.

Inside the shop looks like this. Everything is just pink, pink and pink…^ ^;

The interior is lovely!

Of course Hello Kitty goods are all around the shop. But I guess most of them can be purchased elsewhere, because I’ve seen these goods at other shops already.

I guess I’ve seen these health sandals at Don Quijote Shibuya.

At the same time though, I also found some unique goods I am not familiar with. I didn’t check out how to play with this. lol

This blotting paper case maybe good for a gift.

They even have Hagoita! Isn’t it too early to think of new year now? ^ ^;

This is it! This must be one of the unique goods that were made for Sanrio’s 50th anniversary!

Outside the shop there was a Hello Kitty fountain (I didn’t see water then) and a game center and purikura booths.

It was a bit weird to enter such a dark world right after pink world. ^ ^; There are many game machines, regardless of Hello Kitty. I think this part is inherited from the game center that existed here before it was replaced by Kawaii Paradise.

For example, Taiko no tatsujin has nothing to do with Hello Kitty. There were almost no people when I was inside.

I wondered why this game center had to be inside Kawaii Paradise, because the atmosphere was so different.

Some UFO catchers have Sanrio’s 50th anniversary goods. Too bad I am so poor at games like this. (>_<)

There was no one in the pancake restaurant. I believe people will queue up on weekends.

Even if I don’t like crowds, I don’t like to be an only customer there.

There was a Chinese menu, too. Speaking of Venus Fort, they have signs in Chinese everywhere. I think Chinese tourists love to come over here.

They seem to hold workshops…for kids?

There is another entrance/exit from inside the building.

Each of these pictures were the ones I uploaded on my Facebook page.

I was just so surprised how less people were there at the day I went there. But I’m sure this is a place you must check out if you love Hello Kitty or that you have small kids (girls)!! Ah, also as you can see on Youtube video, there were many purikura machines that will do a good job. So don’t forget to take your puri when you visit Hello Kitty’s Kawaii Paradise at the ground floor of Venus Fort, Odaiba, Tokyo. As for me, I just dropped at Venus Fort only to finish shopping some dog food and goods, I had no purikura taken this time.

Venus Fort already started Christmas illuminations. This is a good place for a couple to enjoy shopping together.
I always get lost at Venus Fort. You know what I mean if you’ve been there. :p

Well…thank you for reading. The post is getting too long with so many pictures, but I hope you enjoy it. ^ ^;

How do you like Hello Kitty’s Kawii Paradise? I love its naming!!
Do you have a similar place in your country?
