Towering three stories high in Shiodome, the Giant Ghibli Clock is a 20-ton marvel of sculpted copper, steel, and whimsical imagination. Conceived by acclaimed Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki, the fantastical apparatus evokes the steampunk aesthetic of classics like Howl's Moving Castle across more than 30 automated vignettes. Several times each day, mechanical blacksmiths hammer, teapots boil, and whimsical figures spring to life in a delightful choreographed performance. It is an enchanting, completely free open-air spectacle that captivates anime enthusiasts and curious passersby alike.
