When traveling to the Kansai region, many people plan a simple two-day, one-night trip to Awaji Island, a small island not far from Osaka and Kobe. On Awaji Island, besides well-known attractions such as the Awaji Yumebutai and the Ocean Dome, recently a brand-new landmark has been added — the world’s largest Hello Kitty-themed restaurant, “Hello Kitty Smile.” Located near the coastline, the striking white building shaped like a giant Hello Kitty head is highly eye-catching. Since its opening, it has attracted many travelers and become a new hotspot for photos.

The HELLO KITTY SMILE restaurant officially opened on April 27, 2018, featuring up to 750 seats. The menu focuses on organic ingredients and fresh seafood sourced from Awaji Island. The interior design is exquisite, with white and pink as the main color scheme. Not only are images of Hello Kitty visible throughout the walls, but there is also a large wall decorated with rows of Hello Kitty plush toys, creating the perfect backdrop for photos from every angle.
