Right on the road towards the temple is a fun little shop called Donguri no Mori, an official shop selling Ghibli merchandise! You can’t miss the front of the shop with the big Tototro and Jiji! I love animation shops, inside there were ‘no photo’ signs and it was so packed full of people. I didn’t buy any merchandise this time and simply wanted to have a short window shop around to check our some bundles of cuteness! I have been to the Kamakura one last year where I bought a few Kiki’s delivery service items. This store was much smaller but had so much to see! You can actually the giant Totoro and Jiji, prices are between 15000 Yen to 50000 Yen+ (approx £100 -£400) expensive but so cute!!
