Fun fact: Right next door, there's actually a private residence. It turns out, what you see is someone's driveway!

To get there, you can either drive or take a 5 minute taxi ride from Takaharu Station.

About:

According to Oddity Central, this Totoro statue was built by an elderly couple residing here as a surprise for their grandchildren.  However, its design is so immaculate that it has attracted Totoro fans from all over Japan.
