Sampan Hello Kitty Resort – Rates, How to Get There on This Guide

Hello Kitty is yet another Japanese influence that has reached our shores since the 80’s. This fictional character was created by Yuko Shimizu back in the 1st of November, 1974. As the name suggests, this character resembles that of a cat, and a cute one at that.

I’m not sure how many of the younger Cebuanos know her these days especially since there’s no more “Gift Gate” shop in SM Cebu – this is actually the shop that I personally relate to Hello Kitty back in the 90’s. Back then, I’m almost certain a lot of girls would go gaga if they are to get one of them Hello Kitty merchandise.

Fast forward to the now, for all those who can’t get enough of this character, your heaven of a place is now on Earth! Presenting, Cebu’s only resort with a Hello Kitty theme, the Sampan Resort in Danao City!
