It's like the world of Ponyo 🌎Introducing the place where Hayao Miyazaki stayed for a long time and wrote Ponyo 🔍

The birthplace of the Ghibli masterpiece, "Ponyo on the Cliff"! A port town with a traditional streetscape 🚤

[Tomonoura] in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture

[Introduction to Tomonoura]

Tomonoura has long been a port town that has been a key part of Japan's economy, and is a place with a nostalgic landscape where buildings from the Edo period still remain 🕰 It is said that Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki liked this place so much when he visited on a company trip to celebrate the launch of "Howl's Moving Castle" that he chose it as the setting for "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea" 💡

There are many places where the streetscape overlaps with scenes from Ponyo somehow

In addition to being the setting for "Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea," it has also been used as a location for the Hollywood movie "The Wolverine: Samurai" and the live-action anime "Gintama" 🎥

For fans, it may be a great place for a pilgrimage 😁In this town, you can find the "Ponyo Stone" shown in the top picture! Take a walk around the town trying to find out where it isーー👀!! !
