Hillside Lake Showcase
The Hillside Lake Showcase gives off a mixture of My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away vibes with its shrine and forest scenery. It’s a peaceful world that you travel through and hang out in with other players. Music plays in the background as you walk, along with ocean and forest sounds.
There’s also an area in the forest specifically for playing piano. When you sit at the instrument, piano keys pop up on the screen, which you can interact with to create your own music. You can also upload music sheets to the game as well.

Howl’s Moving Castle Showcase
This is a gorgeous recreation of the castle from Howl’s Moving Castle. It captures the vibe of the building within the limits of Roblox, and the interior is very faithful to the film. Centered in the middle of the downstairs room is the iconic kitchen table full of food and books, with Calcifer hanging in the fireplace.
A few other rooms can be found inside the house as well. This includes the messy bathroom, Howl’s cluttered bedroom of books and talismans, and a balcony where you can look outside and catch a glimpse of the castle’s exterior.

Flower Garden In The Clouds
Flower Garden in the Clouds is a whimsical game where you walk through a building floating in the clouds. It has a fantastical environment that’s reminiscent of the world in Howl’s Moving Castle, and the colors are beautiful.
You can interact with different parts of the building, such as a record player that plays classical music or a shop selling sweets, teas, and more. There are a lot of areas to explore, and some have places where you can pose your Roblox avatar. The game also has a camera feature, so it’s perfect for photos.

The Sixth Station – Spirited Away
The Sixth Station is yet another recreation of a Ghibli movie, and this showcase remakes the train from Spirited Away. It’s modest yet exact, and it showcases all areas inside the train true to the film. In between the corners of the train’s doors and windows is luggage, while the seats are red with No-Face’s mask on one seat.
Just like in the movie, you can see the ocean’s water moving outside the windows. It mimics the feeling of Spirited Away, and the game allows you to wander along the train cars and look through the build.

Ghibli Fairy Land
Ghibli Fairy Land is a chill game where you can explore a small Ghibli-themed island. Across the land are little houses and hangout areas that you can tour, as well as a cutely decorated restaurant with Totoro serving as a cashier.
The scenery is cozy, with the sounds of a waterfall and birds in the distance. Along with Totoro, you can spot other Ghibli characters hanging about, such as Ponyo and Sosuke. And after you cross the bridge, you can find the house of Ponyo on a hill beside the ocean.

On The Cliff By The Sea – Ponyo Showcase
On The Cliff By The Sea is a showcase of a rebuild of Ponyo’s beloved home. It’s detailed, and the building comes close to the style of the house from the movie. The colors are vibrant, with yellow walls and red roofs, and its interior is even more colorful.
The inside has a small living area with a table holding the bowls of noodles from a well known scene in the film. There is also a dining room and kitchen, with Sosuke’s bedroom upstairs. It’s a nostalgic recreation that pulls off the wonder of Ponyo.

Plant’s Garden
Plant’s Garden is an adorable game that takes place on farmland. The main attraction here is the flower shop, which you can find right on top of the highland over the walkway. With its focus on plants, and with the flower shop acting as both a cottage and a picnic area, the atmosphere mirrors the countryside feel of Kiki’s Delivery Service.
There are small sections of the farm that you can engage in, two being the potion shop and butterfly sanctuary. Next to the potion shop is also a gardening area where you can plant seeds and water fruits to watch them grow.

Cottage
Cottage, by the user @00PSII, is another Roblox game that mimics the vibes of Howl’s Moving Castle. There are a total of three floating islands that can be explored, with two small ones and one large island. One of those lands has a waterfall you can follow, and it lands in a pond.
The main island is where you spawn, and it’s connected to two other lands by a bridge. It’s the highlight of the game and is where you’ll find the cottage itself. The cottage is snug and floral, with flowers all across the plot of grass surrounding it.

My Neighbor Totoro: Showcase
This showcase is a simple but beautiful remake of Satsuke’s and Mei’s house from My Neighbor Totoro. Their home sits in the middle of a broad countryside forest, and it has the father’s cluttered office, the various sliding doors, and the movie’s color scheme.
When you explore the land outside the house, you’ll find a wide field of grass and a bridge standing above a lake. Near the bridge is a tiny shrine as well. The game is still a work in progress, but it faithfully re-imagines what’s so charming about the film’s world.
