Nature lover Hayao Miyazaki will build a nature themed park to rival his imagination.

It’s no secret that Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki is a nature lover. In his works, the 74-year-old’s love for flora and fauna have always played crucial roles.

So it should come as no surprise that he is investing 300 million yen ($2.5 million USD) on a nature sanctuary for children, aptly called “The Forest Where the Wind Returns.” Below is a glimpse of what's to come.

The park will be located in the Zendo Forest Park on Kume Island, Okinawa. There will be a library, a natural playground as well as sleeping quarters for around 30 people.

Construction is set to begin early next year and the park is due for completion in 2018.

We can hardly wait to see Miyazaki’s creation come to life.
