A 3-year-old boy discovered a secret aspect of the Ghibli Museum’s entrance over 20 years after its opening in 2001.
The official Twitter account for the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan, tweeted: “This angle that a 3-year-old boy was pointing at, saying, “Mom! The cat bus is outside!”
To enter the Ghibli Museum, visitors will need to pass through an inconspicuous building that has a dome ceiling. At an initial glance, the entryway is simple and doesn’t seem to reference any Studio Ghibli films.
However, when taking another glance from the entrance’s side, the once-simple building begins to resemble the Catbus from “My Neighbor Totoro.”

The Catbus aids sisters Satsuki (and Mei) in their return to Japan in the 1988 animated movie. The Catbus-inspired entrance appears to be similar to its film role and transports its museum visitors into Studio Ghibli.
As Miyazaki frames his tales from a child’s perspective, the young child seemed to see what so many adults missed these past two decades just as Mei and Satsuki were the only ones able to see Totoro in the film.
