Missing Shirohige's Cream Puff Factory feels like a double loss - not only did we miss out on the Ghibli Museum, but we also missed eating Totoro's face! This place sounds like peak Japan - taking cute to the next level by turning beloved Ghibli characters into edible art.

The location in Kichijoji (just 4 minutes from the station) makes it even more painful that we couldn't make it. We're talking cream puffs shaped like Totoro, cat bus cookies, and even Ponyo-themed jelly cups. It's like they took everything magical about Studio Ghibli and made it delicious.
