Situated in the urban area of Toho Town, 812 (named after the founding date of Toho) is a shop inspired by the famous 109 department store located in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo. The original 109 is a major location in Japanese fashion, standing tall with ten floors offering a variety of shops devoted to fashion and accessories. It’s quite the sight to see, with its sleek and shining exterior. Though 812 may not have the ten floors of its inspiration or quite the same massive size, it still shares a similar exterior façade. Stepping inside, however, guests will be greeted by a whole variety of sub-sections that will cater to their shopping needs.

Sitting right next door to Osono’s Bakery in the rural area is this dark wooden shop, baring a silhouette on its storefront window of a witch riding on her broomstick. Inspired by the film Kiki’s Delivery Service, the simple building looks like if Kiki had managed to get a small store for holding goods from her travels. Her broom rests in a special holster upon the wall, along with pictures of her family and friends. In any case, this quaint shop specializes in selling Studio Ghibli merchandise. There is plenty to find here, such as collectibles like Totoro plushes and models of Porco Rosso’s seaplane or apparel and accessories like Sheeta’s necklace in Castle in the Sky and Kiki’s signature red bow. They can even purchase DVDs and Blu Ray discs for the Studio Ghibli films. Whatever the item, there is plenty to discover among the shelves in this witch’s store.
