Movie World! "My Neighbor Totoro"

Standing in a forest that looks like Totoro might appear, it is the "hometown" of everyone's hearts. You can time-slip into nostalgic scenery. It was built on the site of the Aichi Expo. The atmosphere is full of character, and it wouldn't be strange if Makkuro Kurosuke appeared!

Highlights

Point 1

Experience the World of My Neighbor Totoro!

At Ghibli Park, where you can experience the world of Studio Ghibli films, there is a facility called "Satsuki and Mei's House." Located in Aichi Prefecture, this building is a reproduction of the Kusakabe family's house, which was the setting for the animated film "My Neighbor Totoro." The interior is meticulously crafted, faithfully reproducing the world of the animated film. You can feel nostalgic by experiencing the atmosphere of the Showa era and the atmosphere seen in that movie in person.

Point 2

Remember Movie Scenes on the Tatami Floor

The tatami floor is also accurately reproduced, and you can recall the sight of Satsuki making a bento lunch using the stove. Many people may have longed for the bento lunch with cherry blossom-shaped fish cakes made by Satsuki. Also, when you look at the shelves, you'll find nostalgic canned goods, bento boxes, and water bottles stored there. Adults may also feel nostalgic! Please take a close look at all the details.

Point 3

Relax in Father's Study

Satsuki and Mei's father's study has also been accurately recreated and has many attractions. The study, with its design that allows plenty of light to enter, has a sense of openness, making you want to work here. As their father is an archaeologist, there are many difficult books lined up, so please take a look at what kind of books are there. Mei may even come in with a dandelion at some point.

Point 4

Visit a Garden with Fine Artwork

In the garden, there are impressive holed buckets that Mei peered into, as well as a well where Satsuki and Mei did laundry. Actually, this well really does have water coming out of it! If it were really possible to do laundry there, wouldn't you want to try that foot-stomping laundry you saw in the movie? Don't forget to also check under the eaves of the house from the garden to see if there are any small Totoros around.

Point 5

Call for Makkurokurosuke

One thing not to forget is the staircase leading to the second floor of the veranda. Unfortunately, you cannot go up to the second floor, but you can call out "Makkurokurosuke, come out!" so why not give it a try! Although Makkurokurosuke won't actually come out, acorns are falling just like in the actual scene. This is a must-see production for fans of My Neighbor Totoro.

Fee

Advance Reservation Recommended for Adults at 1000 Yen

"Satsuki and Mei's House" is part of the Ghibli Park and can be entered for 1000 yen for adults and 500 yen for children (4 years old to elementary school age). Currently, it is reservation-only, so purchasing advance tickets is necessary. Tickets are sold on the Boo-Woo Ticket website from 10:00 am on the 10th of the month before the desired visit date, so purchasing in advance will allow for smooth entry.

Access

Recommended Access by Public Transportation

After getting off at Nagoya Station, where even the Shinkansen stops, take the Higashiyama Subway Line to "Fujigaoka Station" (about 28 minutes), then take the Higashiyama Skyline (Linimo) for about 13 minutes and get off at "Ai-Chikyuhaku-Kinen-Koen" station to arrive immediately. You can also take a bus from Nagoya Station or Chubu International Airport to "Ai-Chikyuhaku-Kinen-Koen (Ghibli Park)". There is no private parking lot, so it is recommended to come by public transportation!

サツキとメイの家初めて行きました。トトロは今まで何回見たかわからないくらい見ていますが、草壁家の再現度が高すぎてテンション上がります。個人的に１番感じて欲しいのは家の中に置いている棚を開けた時の昭和のおばあちゃん家を思い出す香り。とても懐かしい気持ちになりました。ここでサツキは弁当を作っていたのか〜とか、茶の間に置いている新聞の古さ、2階へ上がる階段などトトロ好きなら楽しめるポイントがたくさんあるのでぜひ行ってみてください。

作品そのままに、懐かしい昭和の香りを感じることができます。プレミアムチケットがあれば、玄関先でチケットチェックして、靴の番号札を貰って靴箱に靴を入れて上がるスタイルです。中では、タンスや押し入れなど開けて確認できるのでそれぞれに感動しますね。ランドセルの中の教科書も昔サイズです。中で写真は撮れないのが残念。井戸や台所のポンプも押して水を出すことができます。上に引き上げて強く一気に押すのがコツかな? 井戸は一度靴を履いて縁側を回ってから行きます。所要時間は３０分は欲しいかな。ここは、リニモや駐車場から1番遠い場所なので、無料のバスか有料のトトロバスで来るのが良いです。また、1番後回しで来るお客さんが多いので夕方は無料バスが混雑します。乗り切れないこともあるので注意。

つくりこみかたが半端ない。本当にあの時代にタイムスリップした、みたいな家でした。あーこれおばあちゃんちで見た事あるような･･･みたいなのが沢山。どこも触って良いので、サツキのランドセルの中とかお父さんのクローゼットの中とか･･･リアルすぎてプライバシー暴いてるみたいな罪悪感すら湧いてきます。井戸もかまども本物。トイレだけは偽物かな？利用不可でした笑床下も小トトロが入り込めそうなスキマあるし、ドングリ色んなところに落ちてるし･･･なんか泣きそうになりました。もう一度映画を見たくなりました。
