16th of February, REOPENING TOTORO HOUSE: Some of you might remember that last year a beautiful recreation of Satsuki and Mei's House (from My Neighbor Totoro) was built for the 2005 World Exposition in Aichi prefecture, Japan. It was constructed using techniques of the early Showa era and had undergone artificial aging. The furnishings were also made to reflect the movie as faithfully as possible. As beautiful as it was, many people unfortunately were unable to see it due to a bad reservation system. Yesterday however, several Japanese newspapers like the San-in Chuo Shimpo and Chugoku Shinbun posted news articles announcing Aichi prefecture will reopen the "Satsuki and Mei's House” next July. The general admission fee will be 500 Yen and 250 Yen for children. Haven’t had the chance to visit it? Now is your chance and you might as well throw in a visit to the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka as well!
