About this event

At Sanrio Character Park Harmonyland, the event 'To the World's Gentlest Place: Regional Revitalization Through Friendship' will be held based on the Friendship Declaration with Kitsuki City and Hiji Town. This event is an interactive community gathering that anyone can enjoy regardless of disability or age. On the day, the 'Parasports Challenge' will be held, allowing visitors to experience parasports such as wheelchair basketball, boccia, and flying disc. Furthermore, the stage will host a mini talk session and quiz contest featuring the Mayor of Kitsuki City, the Town Mayor of Hiji Town, and the President of Sanrio Entertainment, as well as a lottery drawing with about 100 prizes. In addition, the SDGs show 'Team Hello SDGs! - Because Earth Is One Star' will be staged, with Hello Kitty scheduled to appear. At the venue, visitors can try the 'UNI-ONE' next-generation mobility robot controlled by shifting body weight, as well as corporate and organizational workshops and local product sales. As part of accessibility improvements, the event plans to introduce support for 'Mirairo ID', establish a permanent calm-down space, lend sensory goods, and launch a web page compiling accessibility information. Under Sanrio's philosophy of 'Small Gift, Big Smile' (Everyone getting along), this is a special one-day event leading to regional revitalization that aims to foster community bonds, generate vitality, and support mutual peace of mind.
