A fun weekend in my life here in Tokyo visiting one of the most aesthetic spots I’ve ever been to and finally visiting the Sanrio theme park, Puroland!
Haute Couture Cafe in Nakameguro was sooo aesthetic and I was very impressed by their commitment to the perfect gram. They even had an employee go around and act as everyone’s personal photographer for the best group shots imaginable ๐ But the food was also pretty good too!! I’d definitely want to go back again for another flower season of theirs!
The Sanrio themepark was very cute but kind of a mixed bag to me…I felt like there wasn’t much to actually do haha and the store was disappointing to me because while it’s big, they didn’t have any exclusive merch there that we wanted and I feel that the main stores in Tokyo are just fine. But it was really cute still and I’d want to go back but instead plan my day around mostly the shows!!!
What do you guys think about these places? It was definitely one of the cuter weekends in my life here in Japan lmao ๐ธ

HELLO!!! SORRY FOR THE DELAY EVERYONE I AM NOW MOVED INTO MY NEW APARTMENT!! Just waiting on a few furniture pieces but the apartment is now functional and not totally a mess so I could finally edit a video ๐ Kind of bittersweet that this is the last vlog filmed in my old apartment ๐ฅบ Really makes it feel like I'm entering a different phase of my life…scary ๐จBUT the moving vlog will be up next week!!! I know you guys want to see it, but please wait a bit longer! There's a lot of footage I need to sort through haha ๐

Weird question, does 'odyssey of the mind' mean anything to you?
Glad you're back – was worried there for a minute. looking forward to seeing new apartment.
Your videos are so fun and informative. How much Gudetama stuff was there compared to what was shown in the video?
Lovely to see you back, I hope you can relax in your new home ๐ฅฐ
Two fun days! But dying to know what apartment you chose?!๐คซ
โค๏ธ Looks like a lovely day! I canโt wait to see your new apartment vlog. Moving must of been an overwhelming experience for you.
Happy new apartment Allison and thank you for another great video!
I've been in Morioka for less than a week and I'm still getting to know my apartment. There's so much storage and I love having a view of mountains from my window!
Puroland seems cool, but I think the cafรฉ would definitely be more for me.I loved the colour scheme and all pastel pink! ๐ Can't wait to go down to Tokyo one weekend in the near future!
I for one really enjoyed it Allison, thank you for taking us there!
Bahhh the Sanrio stuff is adorable! We were on vacation two weeks ago in Japan and coincidentally the Hello Kitty Shinkansen was on the route to Himeji so I dragged my husband on it. ๐คฃ
Gudetama ๐โฅ๏ธ

Really enjoying these vids as I apply for grad schools in Japan!
Your friends as so fun! I like watching your videos so I know of some of the touristy and non touristy places to go to when we finally visit Japan!
The whole Sanrio theme park just seems so perfectly structured. It's very pretty, and looks magical. Thanks for these vlogs and taking us with you.
Did you have the apartment reveal yet. Wasn't sure which apartment you picked
It look beautiful ๐๐
The Cafe looks great โค
I took my 10-year-old daughter with me to Tokyo only about a month ago for her Spring Break..and of course we saw Puroland! It was quite a fun time ๐ She absolutely loved it.
Your videos are so chill and calming. ๐. Sometimes we just leave them on in the background when weโre doing other stuff! Seriously, theyโre the best! Leaving for Japan in 2 weeks, and your videos have helped me plan for my trip! โค
Thanks for bringing us along!!!! โค did all the treats on that tray get included?
Congrats on the new place.. loved this video I'm a hello kitty fan since I was young
awesome! cute
What is the frother you're using?
I had been to Sanrio amusement park when I was still a kindergarten student once, couldn't remember much actually.
My daughter and I have been watching your videos since we returned from Japan a week and a half ago. Sheโs a big anime fan and loves the Japanese culture so was dying to visit. But I loved our visit too! Iโve traveled a lot and itโs one of my favorite destinations. We plan on returning next year. All the great places you go for teas are dutifully being noted! Thank you!
This video is really well edited ๐๐ป great job ๐ ๐
I was SO interested in your Puroland review, thank you. I had a friend come visit me here in Tokyo and we thought about going to Puroland but decided against it, and your summary convinced me it was the right decision.
The edit of the train doors closing at 11:03 with the jump cut to you was so good!
For some reason, I thought it said "life in prison" ๐ง๐พ
Allison, why is there no Aggretsuko merch?
We went to Puroland and my then 3 year old son had a good time and I liked the stores and picture opportunities. We also went later in the afternoon than we planned (it was our third day in Japan so jet lag hit us) so we missed the show times. We also opted for the fast pass for the boat ride, I think it was 2000 yen for the 4 of us and seemed worth it. I also liked the arcade but didn't play as much since we ran out of time. Overall it was pretty fun but not sure if we'd go again or not since like you said, you have to factor in travel time too. That cafe looked really cool though, I'll be adding that to my Japan dream itinerary for a future trip ๐
I can totally imagine you as a 60-year-old Florida woman who loves to bathe in the Gulf, get a sunburn and clear the shore of stingrays and armadillos.
When I visited some buddhist temples in Japan, I find out that they always show information about "Pure land" and then I connected this concept with Sanrio's Puro Land. Maybe they mean something like "Sanrio Heaven". idk.
Hi darling I love the cafe and the pretty flowers plus I like the theme park is so cute darlingxx my little grand daughters will love it x x
The gentle butt grab on the thumbnail is perfect ๐
Haute rhymes with COAT and the french pronounce couture COCHURE, but most english speakers pronounce it COTURE.
Post something we havenโt seen
Ohhh~ that Haute Couture cafรฉ looks so pretty! I'm so glad you could get a spot for the sakura month!! Thank you for bringing us along to that ๐ Was it as tasty as it looks? ๐
You said there were no instagramable spots in Purpland, but your editing made it look really aesthetic! Really good combination with the pretty flower cafรฉ ๐
Chanel perfume in the bathroom of that cafe is so extra lmao. GUDETAMA FACE ON THE EGG I LOVE. So cute. Congrats on moving! That's always stressful. I hope the new job is going well!!
Your struggle for the Haute Couture Cafe ๐ Next time we meet I'll let you know how to pronounce it ๐คญ
You should introduce your friends! How did they end of in Japan? Where do they live and what do they do.
