Howl’s Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Nausicaa, Totoro, and Princess Mononoke are just a few of his whimsical creations.

So he's decided to make a magical nature park called “The Forest Where the Wind Returns.”

He will invest 300 million yen (about $2.5 million) into the park, according to The Atlantic. Miyazaki is teaming up with local design firm Kume Creation to bring the vision to life.

And people can't wait.

Here's an article about the project that appeared in the August edition of Kume's local newspaper, according to Spoon-Tamago. There are also claims that the 30 or so sleeping spots are reserved for children from the local town and from Fukushima.

Construction will begin in the spring of 2016 .
