Often paired with Adventure Towns, this area consists of the entire relatively pristine wilderness outside of The City. Urban sprawl is not much of an issue, especially if you just start building your cities up (or underground). An hour's drive from your house can take you to a place that's virtually a national park. It's a hiker's dream and a Nature Hero's home. This might be a result of historically good city planning, although a story taking place After the End might imply a disaster hit the place and it's just regrown after humans vacated. If humans do live there, but it is still idyllic, it is Arcadia — which, indeed, often lies by the Ghibli Hills. Of course, despite its soothing grass, great blue skies, and small animals, Ghibli Hills is still a lawless wilderness, crawling with dangerous monsters, highwaymen, wild magic and adventure. It is a popular home for people who need to live beyond the reach of unjust officials, bought judges, and corrupt law enforcers in the city. In older works, written in times when most people lived in the countryside and so were less moved by the greenery, this freedom from injustice was its main allure, where it may chiefly contrast with the Decadent Court. In video games, it often overlaps with Green Hill Zone as the first step on a hero's journey and as such is bound to contrast with its various final destinations. See also The Lost Woods, although those are visibly more dangerous and thus usually traversed later on. In most anime, especially with ones trying to deliver a message, this speaks to the nostalgia of many older directors for the traditional Japanese countryside that largely no longer exists because of urbanization. One historical western equivalent is Merry England for historical settings. Other times the pristineness is explained by alternate history, particularly the avoidance of major conflict or wars which lets people concentrate on improving themselves. Named for the lush, friendly settings of Studio Ghibli films. Which largely stems from the fact that Mitaka and Musashino, Tokyo's affluent residential suburbs where the studio itself is headquartered, note To the point that Hayao Miyazaki is Fan Nicknamed as The Lord of Mitaka. generally have exactly that kind of scenery. Sometimes overlaps with Scenery Porn. Compare to Wild Wilderness if it's a modern setting set in large wilderness areas like the North Western United States or Black Forest area of Germany. This trope's Shadowland would be Mordor or a Polluted Wasteland... or perhaps a City Planet. Contrast with Nature Is Not Nice. Examples |

Attack on Titan makes full use of this trope, contrasting the crowded streets of the human cities and villages with beautiful expanses of pristine grasslands and forests. The lands glimpsed beyond the Walls are stunningly beautiful, having remained untouched for the better part of the last century.....because much of humanity got Eaten Alive by the Titans. Without humanity around, nature has fully reclaimed the world and Scenery Porn is frequently used to illustrate just why Eren and Armin believe The World Is Just Awesome. This one is an extremely hostile version of this trope, as the Titans are photosynthetic and unaging, meaning that there's still thousands of them waiting to devour anyone who sets foot outside the walls. The areas inside Wall Maria also contain the ruins of small, photogenic towns. |

Oblivion: Cyrodiil has large tracks of unspoiled wilderness, veering closer to Arcadia thanks to the Imperial Legion patrols who keep it (mostly) safe for travelers. Inverted in Paradise, a pocket realm of Oblivion where followers of the Mythic Dawn go to when they die. While it looks like something from Ghibli Hills, it's anything but. |

World of Warcraft Mulgore and Nagrand sure fit (although Nagrand is considerably weirder than most examples of this trope). The Emerald Dream is the physical representation of what the entire world would have been like had the sentient races never existed. Howling Fjord and Grizzly Hills, Borean Tundra and Sholazar Basin in Northrend could also fit. The two former and two latter adjacent zones are on either side of the continent and have been left mostly untouched, separated by Icecrown to the north and Dragonblight in the south. The Dragonshrine areas of the Dragonblight are special cases. They are small pockets of areas sacred to the different Dragonflights and under their protection from the wasteland that covers most of the Dragonblight. The Emerald Dragonshrine is protected by Alystros and Ysera of the Green Dragonflight and remains a pristine Eden-like garden. The Ruby Dragonshrine was under the protection of Dahlia Suntouch. Her murder has left the Ruby Dragonshire open to assault by the Scourge, although it is still strongly defended by the Ruby Dragonflight and still retains much of its sylvan environment. The Bronze Dragonshrine is under serious assault by the Infinite Dragonflight. It's uncertain if the desert-like environment is its natural state or a result of the constant attacks. The Obsidian Dragonshrine is a charred and smouldering cave, which is probably just fine with the Black Dragonflight, although it has been invaded by members of the Cult of the Damned who are using it as a base for raising undead dragons. The Azure Dragonshrine has been entirely corrupted repurposed by Malygos and the Blue Dragonflight and used as a focus for Malygos' plans to siphon the magic from Azeroth. Many zones in Pandaria could qualify for this such as Jade Forest or Valley of the Four Winds. |

The EarthBound (1994) ROM Hack Unearthed seems to take place in a more rural setting than the game it's based on, at least when it's not taking place underground. There's still modern houses and roads and such, but generally there's much more focus on natural forests, and Mitch himself seems to live on a farm, or at least near a place where cultivating fruits and vegetables are common. | |

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy: Hoogland is a breezy hilly locale visited in Chapter 4, and is geographically based on the former Transvaal region of South Africa. It's an idyllic town built upon the hills of a grassy mountain where the soon-to-be wives in weddings are offered to a "Dragonlord" as sacrifices, lest them make him angry and cause strong whirlwinds that can potentially destroy the town and the ones living in it. Layton and his friends aim to prevent the sacrifice of a bride they met (Romilda, who is Julien's girlfriend) by finding out the true source of the whirlwinds. After an extensive research, it's revealed that the whirlwinds are produced by a malfunction of Azran machinery. | |

In Shakespeare's As You Like It, the exiled duke, and later his daughter and niece, take refuge in the Forest of Arden. In fact, by the end of the play, so many people have taken refuge in the Forest of Arden that the usurping duke sets out to take it by force. (He doesn't get far.) Despite the population explosion, the forest proper remains a Ghibli Hills, pristine except for Orlando's carvings of love on the trees... It has more than a touch of Arcadia about it, as witness that the daughter is able to buy out a man's flocks of sheep. | |

Skyrim: Falkreath hold is a more classic example. There are only two settlements in the entire hold (Falkreath itself and the ruined village of Helgen), the land is sprawling with forests and animals, and the main industry seems to be logging. Whiterun. The surrounding country side is tundra, but it's grassy and snow-free. The people in the city itself are mostly pleasant, as is the Jarl, and even the guards after you complete a few quests, so the place feels like Arcadia. Perhaps not coincidentally, that is the name of the city's resident alchemy merchant. |

∀ Gundam is sometimes called "Ghibli Gundam" because much of it takes place on an Earth that has recovered from an apocalypse in the distant past and is only now returning to industrialization. Most of the scenery includes rolling hills, mountains, golden fields, and rivers. In one scene, a farmer yells at the pilots for trampling her fields. Although most of the dangers come from human battles, Loran nearly runs afoul of wild coyotes in the first episode and is taken unawares by the natural currents of an Earth river a few minutes later. | |

Witch Hat Atelier's art style and world-building is literally just composed entirely out of Ghibli Hills. Awesome Art is an understatement when it comes to this manga, as the panel art blends the Ghibli Hills into Scenery Porn on another level. There is a saying that reading Witch Hat Atelier is akin to reading a Studio Ghibli film. They are not exaggerating. | |

Dungeons & Dragons In D&D cosmology, the Outer Plane of the Beastlands, on the Neutral Good/Chaotic Good border, is an endless, idyllic forest that embodies many of the better sides of untamed nature. It's paradise for good-aligned Nature Heroes, intelligent animals, and demihumans. Another good example is Shurrock, one side of the two-sided Lawful Good/Neutral Good plane of Bytopia (contrasting its twin Dorthion). |

Avatar: The Last Airbender The city of Ba Sing Se has a large agrarian zone between the outer wall and the city proper that looks like it would come straight out of a Studio Ghibli film (which is weird considering it's a barren wasteland right outside the wall). It's likely that Earthbending has agricultural applications which make this possible. It's also noted in the DVD Commentary that the Fire Nation (which is geographically based on Iceland) looks a lot better than it should considering the people have been strip mining it for over a hundred years. |

The Wasatch Front (the western slopes of the Wasatch Mountains) in Utah is home to two million people strung out along a 120-mile-long north-south axis. It's an average of 5 miles wide and never reaches a width of more than 18 miles. Ten minutes to the east and you're in deep forest and/or open grassy plateaus. Thirty minutes to the west and you're in barren salt flats and deserts. Two hours to the south, you're in arid redrock country. One hour to the north, vibrant farmland. The next major urban area is 300+ miles in any direction. Even in the Wasatch Front, if there are enough rain clouds (which isn't horribly often though), the Wasatch Mountains look like the Misty Mountains. | |

At one point, the protagonist of Daughter for Dessert can go to a natural pool in the wilderness with Lily (if he's dating her at that point). The water is okay to swim in, and the surrounding first looks pristine. | |

Final Fantasy XI has the forest of Ronfaure as San d'Oria's easiest outside area. However, it also has the barren wasteland of Gustaberg and the savanna of Sarutabaruta for Bastok and Windurst, respectively. As San d'Oria is in some ways the most typical RPG setting, the Ronfaure = Ghibli Hills scenario still works. | |

Red Dead Redemption features a large forest in the game's final territory. While random encounters can happen there, the area is mostly meant for hunting, as the game's most valuable and dangerous animals spawn only in this area. It's located within a few minutes of horse riding from Blackwater, the most advanced town in the game. (The game takes place from 1911 and 1914) | |

Footage originally shot for the first pilot of Star Trek: The Original Series, and recycled in the two-part episode "The Menagerie", suggests that many of Trek-era Earth's cities are surrounded by 50-mile-wide parkland zones. They later went with this idea in Star Trek: The Next Generation and subsequent series. Given fast, cheap, scalable air transport (not to mention teleportation for more urgent trips), the presumption is that suburbs disappeared. | |

The Elder Scrolls Morrowind both plays it straight and subverts it in different areas. To note: Vvardenfell has large tracts of unspoiled wilderness between cities and towns, much of which is quite beautiful. However, because Vvardenfell is a sparsely populated island that only opened to outside settlement a few decades before the start of the game, many of these areas are still wild, untamed, and dangerous. Vvardenfell also has other less-pleasant but still unspoiled (by settlement) areas, such as the ashstorm-blasted Ashland deserts and the lava scathes of Molag Amur. Several characters in these place still mention them as being beautiful in their own ways. Oblivion: Cyrodiil has large tracks of unspoiled wilderness, veering closer to Arcadia thanks to the Imperial Legion patrols who keep it (mostly) safe for travelers. Inverted in Paradise, a pocket realm of Oblivion where followers of the Mythic Dawn go to when they die. While it looks like something from Ghibli Hills, it's anything but. Skyrim: Falkreath hold is a more classic example. There are only two settlements in the entire hold (Falkreath itself and the ruined village of Helgen), the land is sprawling with forests and animals, and the main industry seems to be logging. Whiterun. The surrounding country side is tundra, but it's grassy and snow-free. The people in the city itself are mostly pleasant, as is the Jarl, and even the guards after you complete a few quests, so the place feels like Arcadia. Perhaps not coincidentally, that is the name of the city's resident alchemy merchant. |

Used more darkly in Pom Poko. The tanuki (raccoons in the English dub) start out living happily in the Tama Hills west of Tokyo until the city starts encroaching on their territory. Soon the tanuki are forced to use their legendary powers of illusion in an increasingly desperate struggle to protect their forests, even going so far as to reveal their fantastical existence in a final plea for the environment. In the end the defeated tanuki combine their powers for one last nostalgic illusion depicting their forests as they once were to show the humans what had been lost. Ironically, the next Studio Ghibli film, Whisper of the Heart is set in the very same Tama New Town suburb created by this development. | |

Pokémon: The Series: Like most anime with RPG roots, the series' universe has a literal overworld, with the characters heading through Ghibli Hills frequently. The show's cities and towns are separated from each other by miles and miles of lush, pristine wilderness, with rolling meadows, dense forests, and rugged mountains with a day or two's walk of even the busiest, most built-up cities, seemingly crossed only by occasional dirt paths. This is particularly evident in the series' movies, where a greater animation budget allow the lush natural landscapes to be rendered in particular detail. Of course, all this wilderness is also home to all sorts of Pokémon, meaning that potentially large and dangerous creatures can be found roaming around quite close to major settlements. | |

DungeonSiege's original campaign starts in the Upper Farmlands of Doomed Hometown/Stonebridge, and the Utraean Peninsula multiplayer campaign in the similar town of Elddim. In the expansion pack, this terrain only appears late in the campaign, in a land left battered by magical warfare. The damage still shows in the form of cultists, omnipresent rain and lightning, and oddly colored skies. |

Scrap Mechanic offers an unusual variation: the game's setting is a green, forested, hilly Single-Biome Planet with a pristine environment... which is actually a major agricultural center staffed by high-tech robots (who have, of course, staged an uprising) and strewn with vehicles and facilities which can be disassembled for spare parts by the Player Characters. | |

Minetest: various map generators can create beautiful landscapes (and their opposite), especially when certain plant or world mods are in play, and there are many, many screenshots with this kind of Scenery Porn on the official forum. On public servers (or in local worlds if you're busy enough), you may have entire cities directly adjacent. | |

The lushly-described hills of Andelain in The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant are brimming with beauty and niceness. They are not entirely safe from monsters, just enough to give a real nasty surprise when monsters do appear. | |

Non Non Biyori seems to relish in this. The girls' daily adventures take them through mountains, lush meadows, picturesque paddy fields, babbling brooks and rivers, and rustling forests. Heck, even their schoolhouse has views to die for in every direction! | |

Terra Nil: After a successful session, the broken, sterile waste that the game starts as is turned into a lush patchwork of grasslands, flowered fields, wetlands and forests. | |

You'll find a lot of this near Vancouver, B.C., Canada, and the neighboring Vancouver Island. It's where they've gone to find the forests for things like The Cabin in the Woods, the Percy Jackson series, and The Predator. | |
