Reliving Kiki's Delivery Service in Tasmania

Kiki's Delivery Service vs. Ross Village Bakery [Source: TraverlerFolio]

Do we have any Kiki’s Delivery Service Fans here?!

If so, you’re in luck! Apparently, there is a bakery in rural Tasmania that looks just like the bakery in the movie. Each day, hundreds of people visit the bakery to see the oven and climb the stairs to the second floor loft, which has been renovated to look just like Kiki’s bedroom. So far, thousands of fans have made the pilgrimage to Ross Village Bakery. Although it first started as comments about a resemblance to the film, a grassroots movement led to the owners' adding more artifacts and decorations. Many believe that this was the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's film.

Perhaps we too can make a trip to this bakery? :)

  1. Heads up the photo of the 'bakery tea rooms' photo bottom right is NOT the Ross Village Bakery. If you are looking for the Ross Village Bakery with the wood fired oven and are a fan of Kiki's delivery Service. The Ross Village Bakery is at the Northern end (Launceston end) of Ross.
