All Reviews of Ghibli Park

An absolute must for Ghibli fans. From central Nagoya, Ghibli Park is about an hour away by subway (Linimo) or direct sightseeing bus.

For your first visit, if you want to fully enjoy the main attractions, I recommend buying the O-Sanpo Day Pass Standard and taking your time to appreciate all the thoughtful details. When booking your entry time for Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, I suggest choosing an afternoon slot. The morning crowds have usually thinned out considerably by then, making it more comfortable and relaxing to take photos and explore the exhibits. You can spend the morning strolling leisurely through Valley of Witches and Hill of Youth, then visit the Grand Warehouse in the afternoon to take a photo with No-Face and watch a short film. This makes for the most comfortable experience.

Ghibli Park had been on my wish list for so long, and I finally made it!

Tickets are seriously hard to get. We even used 5 phones at the same time to try for them, and luckily we got some. It felt like such an achievement!

The whole park feels like stepping into the world of a Studio Ghibli film. Every corner is packed with little details, and I honestly didn’t want to leave. My favorite was the newly opened Valley of Witches from 2024. You can walk into Kiki’s house from Kiki’s Delivery Service and see scenes from Howl’s Moving Castle. It really feels like you’ve become part of the story.

And of course, don’t miss Guchoki Bakery. You can actually buy the bread that appears in the movie, and it’s both adorable and delicious.

If you’re a Ghibli fan, this place absolutely deserves a spot on your lifetime must-visit list! Just make sure you get tickets first, or you’ll be stuck envying everyone else.

Ghibli Park in Nagoya is a family-friendly spot I highly recommend, and a dreamy destination that Ghibli fans shouldn’t miss. The park is huge and full of greenery, so even just strolling around the free areas is really pleasant. Each themed area requires a separate ticket, and while the prices aren’t exactly cheap, the level of detail and faithful recreations are truly impressive. It’s absolutely worth it.

Unfortunately, it was pouring rain during my visit, so I couldn’t fully enjoy many of the outdoor spots or get the photos I was hoping for, which was a bit of a shame. Still, that just makes me even more excited to come back on a sunny day, explore every corner, and really soak in the magic of the Ghibli world.

Nothing was more a part of my childhood than Studio Ghibli. This time, I visited Ghibli Park, and although it was a bit of a shame that I could only get the stroll pass and couldn’t enter every area, just seeing Howl’s Moving Castle and spotting the little surprises along the way that only Ghibli fans would notice already made me incredibly emotional.

Next time I come here, I hope I can get tickets for all areas and really explore every corner of the park 🥹

The park's design is super detailed, filled with classic elements and scenes from Ghibli movies. From the moment you enter, it feels like you've stepped into a real-life Ghibli animation, with familiar characters and settings everywhere.

Right now, only the first phase of the park is open and they’re still building more areas. Tickets are super hard to get and really tough to reserve.
