We have arrived! Ghibli Park. Take a look. You can enjoy it in 360 degrees, so if you are a Ghibli fan, you must see it. Ghibli Park will finally open on the 1st of next month! Three areas will be created in the great outdoors of the "Aichi Expo Memorial Park" where the Aichi Expo was held in 2005. As I walked through the forest, I saw Totoro. It was the first time I saw a Totoro wearing a hat like that. A Totoro with a height of about 5 meters appeared, called "Dondoko-do"! Here in "Dondoko Forest", you can experience the world of "My Neighbor Totoro"! Totoro can only be seen by children. So, there is a pillar here, but only children can enter. I wonder what kind of world it is. We arrived at the house of Satsuki and Mei, which stands as if watched over by the master of the forest. It is a private house where the main characters live, built as a pavilion for the Aichi Expo. Ah! This is it! Ah, there is an acorn! Mei wonders what it is, goes upstairs and meets Makkuro Kurosuke. The kitchen and bathroom are a perfect reproduction of the house from the movie. So inside the closet... Wow, there are books and toys. Ah, they belong to Satsuki and Mei. They must be like that, judging by the size of their heads. Mei's. Actually, they look pretty worn out. There are also some in the garden where Satsuki and Mei were running around! Do you remember this scene? Mei's! The scene where she finds an acorn. A real bucket with a hole in it. It really makes you think that Mei and Satsuki will be coming back soon. The second place I'd like to introduce is "The Hill of Youth," which features the office lined with "cat-sized" furniture from "The Cat Returns" and "that" rotary. "Whisper of the Heart" is a work that depicts the youth of Amasawa Seiji, a junior high school student aiming to be a violin craftsman, and Tsukishima Shizuku, an aspiring novelist, as they struggle towards their dreams. Here you can experience that world. It's a common expression to say that you entered the world of a scene from a movie, and that's exactly what it sounds like. Shizuku was led by a cat to a shop selling antique furniture and clocks called Chikyu-ya, which she happened to stop by. The space is designed with great attention to detail, with items imported from overseas. Oh, we met. It's Baron! His eyes are shining! The cat doll Baron, who holds the key to the work, is also reproduced in great detail. And on the first floor is the workshop where Seiji learned how to make violins! Look at that, Kikuzu! It feels like they were just making them a moment ago, and the atmosphere is amazing. The biggest attraction of Ghibli Park is the Ghibli Warehouse, a huge facility of about 9,600 square meters packed with exhibits! Here is Totoro! There was a Totoro. There was a small one. Characters are hiding everywhere~ For now, if you look closely again... Oh, I found Makkuro Kurosuke! This is what I was looking forward to the most! There's a famous scene from Ghibli where you can pretend to be someone else. Do you remember this from Spirited Away? That means everyone. There you go! I can pretend to be that scene! Wow, I'm so happy. No-Face's tiny hands. You're so tiny. Oh, there's Ponyo! In the open sea. What do you think? And there's one of Ghibli's most famous scenes! Is it okay for me to do this? It's so mystical. Wow. There are 14 famous scenes in total. I took so many pictures too. It looks great, doesn't it? And there's the world of Arrietty. Everything is big. This is how it feels. From the perspective of Arrietty, the little girl who lives under the floorboards, even an acorn is this big. It fits perfectly into the bottle just like this. This is apparently a kamaboko board. That's what it's like. The "house under the floorboards" where Arrietty and her friends live is also, Ah, a cute room. The room is also perfectly reproduced as shown here! You'll want to look at every corner carefully. Not only can you enjoy the world of Ghibli, but you can also shop! First, we went to a candy store with a retro atmosphere. In addition to the familiar candy, there are some exclusive items. This is the best, isn't it? And this old-fashioned Ramune. And this store has secrets in the walls, like Makkuro Kurosuke hiding. Is it here? You might be able to find it if you look at it from a child's perspective. A child's perspective? Ah! I found it! You can have so much fun just buying candy, this is the "Ghibli magic". And speaking of theme parks, the character goods of this person from "Spirited Away" are jewels, a head, and a scene where contracts are scattered like this. This is, to be honest, Yubaba's room. What do you think? You can become a souvenir corner, with a hat that lets you become Yubaba, like the one I was wearing, and Wow! A Totoro belly warmer
