I heard that there is a place called "Totoro Forest" in Daimon Park in Keya, Itoshima, so I went there! There is a place that looks just like the entrance to the path where Mei-chan met Totoro! Beyond the entrance is a mountain, and it is about 200m to the observation deck. From the observation deck you can see the sea of ​​Itoshima 🌊 If you look closely at the torii gate on the beach, you will see a lot of stones 🪨 It is said that if you place a stone here, your wish will come true! ? When I visited on a Sunday afternoon, there were several food trucks set up! 📍Totoro Forest in Itoshima 　 〒819-1335 Shima Keya, Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture 🚗Free parking available 💰Free 🕰️Open 24 hours ❤️🔥I recommend taking photos pretending to be Mei-chan!

Located within the Keya Oto Park in Itoshima, there is a forest trail surrounded by coastal shrubs and trees. The entrance to the trail is covered by dense woods, giving it a hidden and mysterious vibe, reminiscent of the Totoro Forest from Studio Ghibli's fairy tales. This unique atmosphere has made it an instant hit as a popular Instagram-worthy spot.
