A life‑size Totoro sculpture tucked in Tsukinowa village — a whimsical subject for fans of Studio Ghibli and environmental portraiture. Photograph the statue with surrounding rice fields, local houses and seasonal foliage. Best light: golden hour (sunrise or sunset) for warm side light; overcast for even skin tones in portraits. Accessible by car; small roadside parking nearby but narrow streets — visit weekdays to avoid locals and fan crowds. No entry fee; respect residential privacy and local祭
