Hello Kitty, station master

Board the Keio Line Train at Shinjuku, and 30 minutes later you'll arrive in Tama, a city west of Tokyo. Here, Hello Kitty will welcome you in uniform - she was appointed honorary stationmaster in 2016. The cute decor of the station constantly reminds you that the amusement park Sanrio Puroland isn't far away.

This project was born in close collaboration with both Tama, as the city is very proud of its park, and Keio, one of the main railway companies of Tokyo. November 1st is both the fictional birthday of Hello Kitty and the city of Tama. To mark the occasion, "Amusement Passport" tickets are available. These include entrance to Sanrio Puroland, attractions included, as well as the opportunity for unlimited travel on the Keio and Inokashira train lines for a day.
