Studio Ghibli fans will have plenty of spots to snap photos at: like a replica of the iconic train scene from Spirited Away with No-Face, life-sized displays of the lovable Totoro, another replica of Yubaba’s desk, the trio of green Kashira heads, a massive display of the Aburaya Bathhouse and many more other nods and decor items related to the Spirited Away franchise.

In addition to the abovementioned Studio Ghibli-themed photo ops, the in-house café will also be serving up some quirky Studio Ghibli-themed menu items, including Totoro-shaped cakes, Ponyo-inspired drinks and Oreo mousse cakes that look like Soot Sprites. You can also shop some Studio Ghibli-themed retail items and collectibles from the merchandise store, with various knick knacks, socks, tote bags, accessories, prints, blind boxes and more.

It’s not over yet: there’s also a petting zone and pet store here, where you’ll get to interact with some exotic animals. They’ve got adorable chinchillas, baby kangaroos, meerkats and cats too. Some of the animals are even available for purchase from the pet store. There’s no admission fee required to play and interact with the animals, all you have to do is purchase any 1 item from the café for free access to the petting zone.
