There is a place in Kelantan that resembles the breathtaking Hokkaido, or the user @heartpatrick on Tik Tok proclaimed, a ‘Ghibli Lookalike’.
The beautiful view of vast hillocks with vibrant green vegetation reminds them of the scenes in almost all Ghibli films ever made.

Many anime lovers are bound to be attracted by anything that reminds them of the movies they watched before, as Studio Ghibli is renowned for its immense aestheticism and rich Japanese heritage.
Where Is This Place?
Pantai Mek Mas, near Kota Bharu, Kelantan, is where this hidden gem resides. People are swarming to get there when the weather is sunny as the sky becomes a vivid shade of blue.
User @heartpatrick shared, “We initially came to just get some minimalist shots of the sand dunes here.”
However, they are absolutely awed by the picturesque view of the hillocks and vegetation that adds to the coolness of the place, said the TikToker.
Come and Join the Fun!
They invite everyone across Malaysia to visit this picture-comes-to-life when it is sunny and slightly windy. Visitors will get the best view of the vivid blue sky and experience the cooling breeze on their skin. As they recommend, visiting this place when the weather just right enhances the surrealism of the whole Ghibli experience. It also increases satisfaction as the scenes we see in those movies are painted perfectly in front of our eyes.
Many of the commenters express their amazement and disbelief. They did not know that such a place existed in Malaysia. Hence, this shows that Malaysia is not only a well-known melting pot for its mouth-watering delicacies. It is also a destination hub that treasures many scenic places to add to its ‘to-visit’ list.
However, some of the locals in Kelantan say that the place is just an ordinary vegetation spot. There is nothing special about the location, as stated by @heartpatrick. It is made aesthetic due to the user’s occupation as a photographer.
Yet, it does not die down the hype blazed by other Malaysians that find the place interesting and worth the visit.
Whoever wishes to visit Hokkaido in Kelantan and partake in the magnificence of Ghibli scenes: head over to Pantai Mek Mas for that once-in-a-lifetime Studio Ghibli experience!
Be sure to take lots of photos to commemorate those Ghibli vibes! And, of course, for the Gram!
