The House of Kurosuke | Things to do near Tokyo

　　　　　
The House of Kurosuke is a Japanese traditional house which was built in the Meiji-era (100 year old!) in Sayama, Saitama.

It is located near Totoro's forests, Sayamakyuryo.

Yahao Miyazaki used Sayamakyuryo as a material to write "My Neighbor Totoro"

It takes about 30mins from Ikebukuro Station to Kotesashi Station and about 10 mins on foot from the bus stop “Dainichi-do” to The House of Kurosuke.

Sayamakyuryo is a huge area and Totoro's forest are dotted around there. So, it is impossible to get to all of it.
