My Neighbour Totoro Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture
Speaking of Totoro, Tokorozawa is the most famous city in Japan! Tokorozawa is famous for being a hot city, but when the weather gets cooler, it is a very easy place to visit.

The first place I recommend is Kurozuke's House.

Located in a residential area, it is an old house that is currently managed by Totoro's Hometown Fund as a base for forest conservation activities.

The first thing you see when you enter the compound is the large main house!
It was originally built elsewhere, but was moved to this site in 1957. It is open to the public on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 to 15:00, except on public holidays, and visitors can take a tour inside. In 2013, this main building, the warehouse and the tea factory on the same site were also registered as Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.

Admission is free, but Totoro Fund merchandise is on sale inside the museum, with proceeds going towards protecting Totoro's forest, Sayama Hills!
These are original illustrations and items you won't find anywhere else, so Ghibli fans will love them!

A very big Totoro ((lol))
You can even meet these things!

Tokorozawa also has many other Totoro related places of interest, such as the Shirohata Hill in Kitano and the Inaricho bus stop, which is the model for the bus stop where the cat bus comes from.
You should definitely visit them!
