Ghibli Park
Not a thrill-ride park but a walk-through world of Studio Ghibli — beautifully recreated buildings, film scenes and gardens set in the green expanse of Aichi Expo Memorial Park. Entry is by advance, time-specified ticket only.
規劃你的造訪If you love the films of Studio Ghibli, Ghibli Park is a place to slow down and step inside them. It opened on 1 November 2022 within Aichi Expo Memorial Park — the site of Expo 2005, also known as Moricoro Park — in Nagakute, just outside Nagoya.
A park to walk through, not ride
This is not a thrill-ride park. There are no roller coasters or big attractions. Instead, you walk through beautifully recreated Ghibli buildings, scenes and gardens, set among the greenery of the former Expo grounds. The pleasure is in noticing the details and taking it at your own pace.
Five areas to explore
The park is made up of five areas. Ghibli's Grand Warehouse is the large indoor heart of the park, with exhibits, recreated film scenes and a children's Catbus play space. The Hill of Youth sits on a rise nearby. In Dondoko Forest you'll find a lovingly recreated version of Satsuki and Mei's house from My Neighbor Totoro. Mononoke Village is themed on Princess Mononoke, and the newest area, the Valley of the Witches (opened in 2024), draws on Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle.
Getting there
From Nagoya Station, take the Higashiyama subway line to Fujigaoka, then transfer to the Linimo maglev to Ai·Chikyuhaku-kinen-koen station, right beside the park — roughly 50–70 minutes in all.
Important: admission is by advance, date- and time-specified tickets bought online only. There are no same-day tickets at the gate. Tickets are sold per-area or as a whole-park pass and can be hard to get (often a monthly sale or lottery), so book well ahead. Hours are roughly 10:00–17:00 but vary by season and area, and the park has scheduled closed days (often Tuesdays) — please confirm officially before visiting.
Make it part of your trip
Ghibli Park is best enjoyed with a plan, and the tickets are the tricky part. We can help secure the hard-to-get tickets and arrange transport from Nagoya, with an English- or Vietnamese-speaking guide if you'd like one. Tell us your dates and which areas you most want to see, and we'll build the day around you.
