The location in My Neighbor Totoro is based on the real town of Tokorozawa.
It is also famous as the place where Hayao Miyazaki, the director, has lived for a long time.
Tokorozawa is starting to become a hub of anime culture.
I went to visit Sakura House, a new anime culture center that houses a museum, hotel, and other facilities related to anime.
