When we hear the word “Totoro”, our minds instantly conjure up the image of the friendly forest giant from the 1988 Studio Ghibli animated film My Neighbour Totoro.
With no Totoro in sight, it was clear that this town made no claims of being connected to Studio Ghibli.
Operated by the Kyushu Railway Company, also known as JR Kyushu, Totoro Station is said to service less than 100 passengers a day.
What really caught our eye here, though, was the giant sign that read Totoro, in both English and Japanese.
