The Aichi prefectural government confirmed on Wednesday that the Dondoko Mori Area, the previously announced area featuring My Neighbor Totoro for the planned Ghibli Park, is under construction.
Aichi prefecture and Studio Ghibli are collaborating to open the park in a 200-hectare area in Nagakute, Aichi’s Expo Park, also known as Moricoro Park, the site of the 2005 World’s Fair.
The Dondoko Mori Area will feature a recreation of the shrine and path from My Neighbor Totoro.
Studio Ghibli also maintains The Ghibli Museum, located in Mitaka in west Tokyo.
