Comment
If you have family members who like Sanrio then being able to go to the parks twice a year is a nice benefit. The parks have variable pricing but these tickets are good for any day. Personally I find Puroland to not be the most exciting place to visit, especially multiple times, but the place is always packed so I must be missing something. My kids enjoy watching the shows and look forward to visiting, though!
Harmonyland is a more traditional theme park with things like roller coasters and other typical rides. They're geared towards younger kids so adults probably won't find it the most exciting park, but kids will certainly have fun and be able to ride everything. There aren't any dedicated show theaters, with just a few parades and shows each day. From what I can tell Puroland is better if you like shows, while Harmonyland is better if you like rides. The park which is more conveinent for you to visit will probably be the bigger factor though, as they're located very far from each other.
