On February 27, electric vehicles inspired by the Cat Bus from Miyazaki Hayao’s My Neighbor Totoro were unveiled at Ghibli Park in Nagakute, Aichi Prefecture. The vehicles were developed by a joint venture between SoftBank and Toyota.
Starting on March 16, they will connect the theme park’s Mononoke Village and Dondoko Forest. The 10-minute journey will cost ¥1,000 (¥500 for children).
