Whisk away into the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli at the world’s one-and-only destination complete with 5 areas: Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, Hill of Youth, Dondoko Forest, Mononoke Village and Valley of Witches.

Opened in 2024, Valley of Witches is spun from all the magic behind the little witches of Ghibli movies like Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle.
Zip over to find Okino Residence, Kiki’s childhood home, ready and open for a visit (some buildings are included in the later mentioned Ghibli Park O-Sanpo Day Pass Premium), and Guchokipanya Bakery where you can actually buy bread. The same zone also boasts a 20-meter tall Howl’s Castle, complete with Calcifer's furnace and Howl’s bedroom, alongside a merry-go-round and delights that make you feel like you’ve come to town without leaving the park.

Mononoke Village is where you’ll find your favorite landscapes from Princess Mononoke, including a massive Demon Spirit sculpture and an Lord Okkoto slide, an interactive experience corner at Tatara-ba that nearly swallows you into the world of your favorite film.

Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse is packed with film exhibits, shops and a café, complete with scenes like the Sky Garden and its Laputa robot soldier or Yubaba’s Office from Spirited Away. With the new year in 2024 you can even find corners featuring the heron from The Boy and the Heron waiting inside.

Hill of Youth hosts a late 19th-century sci-fi-themed elevator tower, alongside other iconic locations like the World Emporium from Whisper of the Heart and The Cat Bureau from The Cat Returns.

For even more smiles, swing by Dondoko Forest to find Satsuki and Mei's House, a spot built during the Aichi Expo 2005 that even keeps a “Dondoko-do” wooden modeled after Totoro with and all the movie magic from My Neighbor Totoro.

Tickets come in three types, each requiring a reservation. For more details, please check the official website.

The Ghibli Park O-Sanpo Day Pass allows access to all five areas and requires you to select an entry time for Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse at the time of purchase.
