Ever wished that your favorite anime was real? Well, if you’re a fan of Kiki’s Delivery Service then guess what? It IS real! Or at least the bakery is. Well, kind of.
For those who don’t know, Kiki’s Delivery Service is one of the world’s best-loved animes. Created by Studio Ghibli in 1989 (the Japanese animation studio responsible for such massive hits as My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle) the story follows a trainee witch named Kiki who works for a bakery delivering bread (by broomstick. Along with her talking black cat Jiji. Obviously).
The real-life bakery is situated in a small hamlet called Yufuin Floral Village in south-west Japan. It sells all sorts of Kiki-inspired bread and pastries and you’ll even find Jiji waiting for you by the entrance! So if you’re a fan of Kiki’s Delivery Service then head on down to Kiki’s bakery for a truly bewitching experience (sorry).

Share on FacebookHm... Just that this is not the Bakery from the Ghibli film, but the one from the book the film is based on (because no, Studio Ghibli didn't "create" the character) or maybe it's closer to the one in the non animated film that came out a while ago. The girl and the cat, nevertheless, are the Ghibli ones.
It's reference to when Jiji replaced a small black cat toy so he can stall for time while Kiki finds the real toy

I dunno what Kiki's Delivery Service is, but I do know that this is absolutely ADORABLE!!! :)
that's not kiki's bakery in the movie. In the movie, the bakery is situated on the top of a flight of stairs near a cliff overlooking the ocean. The counter faces the door, with the passageway to the baking area at the left (if youre facing the counter). Plus, the business isn't called "Kiki's Bakery". Kiki runs the "Kiki's Delivery Service" and she announces her trade through a baked sign on the window, but the bakery isn't hers. (yes, I grew up watching ghibli films)
Well I'm sorry that they couldn't create it %100 accurate, and really you're complaining it to where the bakery was located in the movie!?! It's not like they could magically move it to the sea!
