What is Ghibli Park?

HOME ⁄ What is Ghibli Park?

Ghibli Park is a park that represents the world of Studio Ghibli. With close consultation with the surrounding forest, it is being built on and within the grounds of Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park).
There are no big attractions or rides in Ghibli Park.
Take a stroll, feel the wind, and discover the wonders.
The first phase of construction (opening on November 1, 2022) includes "Ghibli's Grand Warehouse," "Hill of Youth," and "Dondoko Forest." Ghibli's Grand Warehouse is an indoor facility that stores all of the studio's secrets, from large to small artifacts and exhibits from past Studio Ghibli movies. You will find from fantasy-filled exhibitions such as Robot Soldier, Cat Bus, and kid-sized film studio exhibitions, to materials and resources that reveal the secrets of Studio Ghibli films.
On the Hill of Youth, there stands World Emporium, the antique shop from Whisper of the Heart.
In Dondoko Forest, "Dondoko-do" awaits you at the top of the forest hill that sits behind Satsuki and Mei's House.

The second phase opening of Ghibli Park begins with Mononoke Village on November 1st, 2023, followed by Valley of Witches on March 16th, 2024.
