We went to Totoro bus stop yesterday

We went to Totoro bus stop, a famous bus stop which is featured the film "My Neighbor Totoro". Originally, it was scheduled to go the day before yesterday, on September 9. But, when I heard the weather forecast in Oita on this day, it will be cloudy. However, it is expected to be a clear sky yesterday. For this reason, we decided to go there yesterday. We visited there in July 2010, and want to see "What has became there in 3 years".

It looked like this at the time.

Yesterday

Although appearance itself isn't much different from three years ago, but timetable and a cover chair had been removed from the bus stop because the Oita Bus Kiura-kozan route was discontinued on March 31. Also part of the roof had been peeled off.

A thankful message poster of Hayao Miyazaki's retirement is posted by owner.

A bunch of Totoros have also made a change. To decorate Totoro dolls as much as possible, increase a branch to the left of the big tree in the middle. There are also a hand-painted Totoro and ema (絵馬), a picture resembling the Japanese theatrical version poster is drawn.
