Toho Town aims to mix the magic and awe of both studio Ghibli and Toho with real-life settings found all around Japan. Melding both urban and rural, we hope to give Toho Town the feel of actually hopping on a plane and travelling to Japan.

Entering from Muppet Studios, guests will first pass under a large unpainted torii gate, signifying the passage from the hustle and bustle of The Disney Studios to the scenic Japanese landscapes of Toho Town. Surrounding the torii gate and its entrance area is a small, but dense,dense forest of Japanese Red Pine. Nestled in the forest to the left is the Catbus Cafe, the land’s main table service restaurant, and to the right is Ghibli Garden, a delightful celebration of some of Studio Ghibli’s most iconic characters and settings.

Between Ghibli Garden and Toho Station is a large wooden bridge connecting Toho Town with its sister land, Surf Swell Beach, modeled after Horai Bashi Bridge in Shizuoka.

Though the bridge isn't quite as exciting as the boardwalk sitting at its opposite end, it's a nice palate cleanser between the two lands.

Two large ramps, one located next to the Catbus Cafe and the other between 812 and The Capsule Club, lead up to Toho Town’s second level, which takes on a more rural feel. Here the cracked asphalt of the lower level is replaced by large inlaid stone. Most of the area is surrounded dotted with trees. This area is especially beautiful during the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom. At the top of the winding ramp are a few small buildings, namely Osono’s Bakery and Kiki’s Delivery Service, both themed after their namesake film.

To the side is a small series of torii gates which lead deep into a bamboo forest. Locals say that these gates lead to the ruins of Castle Muramasa where A Tale of Trouble & Turmoil, the legendary story of a battle between samurai and vengeful youkai. At the back of the area stands a massive crimson wall. Enter through and pass into the world of spirits and magic and discover the world of Spirited Away.

Also scattered around the land are vending machines and gachapon machines.

The vending machine feature some of Japan's most popular drinks, from Boss Coffee to Mitsuya Cider.

The gachapon machines carry a number of toys from the franchises featured in the land.

Both vending machines and gachapon are incredibly popular in Japan and help immerse guests and expose them to items they wouldn't normally be able to find in the US.
