The shop stocks more than 1,000 products, mixing officially licensed Japanese goods with European-original items developed by Maison Ghibli, which has been an official Studio Ghibli partner in Europe and the UK since 2012. The range covers plush toys, collector figures, model kits, puzzles, stationery, homeware and tableware, keyrings and accessories. Restocked bestsellers include Heen and Calcifer plush toys from Howl's Moving Castle, a No-Face cushion from Spirited Away, and Totoro-themed Japanese tableware and tea cups. New items are also expected to arrive during the run. The store is decorated with forest-inspired fittings and plays music from the Studio Ghibli films, and a dedicated Totoro photo spot is set up for visitors. Hours run Monday to Friday 11:00 to 19:30, Saturday 10:00 to 20:00 and Sunday 11:00 to 18:00, with closures on 24, 25 and 28 December 2026 and 1 January 2027, and a 16:00 close on 31 December 2026.","whyItMatters":"The return follows a previous London pop-up that drew queues and visitors from a wide range of countries, so Maison Ghibli is repeating the format for the Christmas shopping period rather than running a one-off.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGoods cover six categories: plush toys including Totoro, Jiji and No-Face; hobbies and toys such as mini figures, puzzles and model kits; collector figures; stationery; homeware and tableware; and keyrings and accessories.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlush toys: Totoro, Jiji and No-Face, plus the returning Heen and Calcifer plush from Howl\u0026#39;s Moving Castle.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHobbies and toys: mini figures, puzzles and model kits.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCollector figures: display figures drawn from Studio Ghibli films.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStationery: ballpoint pens and clear files from Japan, plus notebooks with European designs.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHomeware and tableware: mugs, cushions, Japanese tableware and decorative items.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeyrings and accessories: everyday items featuring Studio Ghibli characters.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shop sits on Eastcastle Street just off Oxford Street, next door to Oma Coffee Roaster, and within reach of the Oxford Circus shopping area.
