On the day of my visit (a Sunday), the first tour (at 9.30am) was almost full. Tickets are good for a specific date and time. Up to 50 persons per group are allowed entry in each time slot. There is a total of eight 30-minute tour timings on weekdays and 14 tour groups during the weekends/public holidays. Like the Ghibli Museum, admission to Satsuki and Mei’s House is staggered.
#My neighbor totoro house for free
You can enter the Moricoro Park for free but there are separate charges for the various attractions. Wait! Did Totoro leave this acorn for me!? The exhibit was perfect but I wished Totoro and the soot sprites were there as well. On my September 2017 Japan trip, I not only entered Totoro’s Forest, ate Totoro cream puffs and drove on Totoro’s Melody Road, I also visited Satsuki and Mei’s House. Your visit becomes more enjoyable when you can spot the tiny details that remind you of the specific scenes in the film. If you are visiting the house soon, go watch the film before going. Here, you can experience the Kusakabe’s daily life in their home as seen in the film. The life-size Satsuki and Mei’s House was recreated for Expo 2005 and it remains a popular attraction in the Expo Park (also known as Moricoro Park) today. But do you know that there is already a real-life version of the house from My Neighbor Totoro, belonging to the lead characters Satsuki and Mei, that you can visit in the Expo Park right now? Many Studio Ghibli fans are excited about the new Ghibli Park which will open in Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (愛・地球博記念公園) come 2022.
