This starting point isn't too hard to find; there are signs for the hotel inside the station, and there are lockers nearby. I chose the tour because I couldn't book admission tickets. Because Ghibli Park is completely reservation-based, you can book this bus tour if you can't get tickets. This bus tour even provided a tofu bento and green tea, otherwise there might not have been enough travel time. If there's anything to regret, it's not having a PREMIUM ticket to see Totoro in Dondoko Forest. It wasn't possible to upgrade on the day, and you still have to buy tickets within the area. When I went to Howl's Moving Castle, the tickets to enter were already sold out. The Grand Warehouse is very crowded, especially the photo studio and gift shop, where the lines are very long. In the Grand Warehouse, many places don't allow photos, which is a bit unfriendly. The moving distance within the park is very long, so use the park bus as much as possible. Walking will be very tiring. I personally recommend focusing on the Grand Warehouse, visiting the Witch's Valley along the way, and then taking the bus to Dondoko Forest and the Japanese Garden. Youth Hill can be relatively ignored. The Grand Warehouse shop really has a lot of products that aren't available in the Totoro store, so I recommend bringing enough money. I really wanted to buy the 85,000 yen bathhouse I saw, but I didn't have enough money, which was a bit of a shame. As for the itinerary, I would rather spend the whole time at Ghibli Park, not go to the Toyota Exhibition Hall or anything like that, and stay until closing time. It would be great if I could buy PREMIUM tickets. The Large Promenade Ticket is just enough for a 6-hour walk. If you want to enter the facilities within the park area, it will still be a bit rushed.

It was a good walk. The guide was very nice and informative. The group was large. It was our only chance to get tickets for the Ghibli park as they were very hard to find online. We also enjoyed the automobile museum.

Hassle free way to get to Ghibli Park. Tour guide Lily was lovely and gave talks about Ghibli and Nagoya as well. The museum afterward (ceramics) was lovely way to end the trip.

our Ghibli Park trip yesterday was great! i highly recomend this package. it'll save you from booking your tickets individually per station, the only challenge left for non-locals is to find which station you're supposed to be at, but that's part of the adventure! 🤗

The time allotted at Ghibli Park was more than enough to explore the whole area, even with some lines, and still enjoy a proper meal. The meet-up point was easy to find, and the lunch bento was already prepared and handed out before boarding the bus, which was very convenient. Quick heads-up: there are no trash bins inside the park, so you’ll need to bring your trash with you until you’re back at Nagoya Station (bins for bottles and cans are available). On the tour day, what we visited after the park was Toyota Automobile Museum, where the guide shared car inspirations from Ghibli movies, making it fun to spot them. The time there was under an hour, so it felt a bit rushed. But it's still good overall!

Things to Do at Ghibli Park

Explore Kiki's Bakery and Room

Visit the adorable bakery from Kiki's Delivery Service where you can buy real baked goods. Climb upstairs to Kiki's attic bedroom, lovingly recreated in detail---even down to her clothes and decor.

Step Inside the Magic at Howl's Moving Castle

This is a showstopper. You can wander through all of Howl's rooms — his messy bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and even turn the door knob to change the scenery outside. It's jaw-droppingly accurate.

Ghibli Grand Warehouse — See Exhibits and Photo Spots

This huge indoor area features:

  • A mini theater playing rare Ghibli shorts

  • A food animation exhibit showing famous meals from the films

  • A life-size Cat Bus for fun photo ops

  • A chillingly perfect model of Yubaba at her desk

Dondoko Forest — Visit Satsuki & Mei's House

Step into the Totoro universe by exploring a full-scale replica of the girls' house. You'll remove your shoes and explore their rooms---right down to their father's messy desk and the family kitchen.

Hill of Youth — Peek into the Cat Bureau

From The Cat Returns, this cat-sized setup features tiny furniture, a working grandfather clock, and a view of Baron and Muta lounging inside. It's a charming, hidden gem.

Tips before visiting Ghibli Park 

Book the Premium Pass

Don't miss out on indoor areas like Howl's Castle. The O-sanpo Premium Day Pass is absolutely worth it.

Hit the Merch First

Want the rare Heen plushie? Head straight to the gift shop in Valley of Witches at park opening. It sells out fast.

Check Your Time Slot

Your Ghibli Warehouse visit will have a timed entry, build your day's schedule around it.

Expect Lines for Photos

The Grand Warehouse's film-scene photo spots often have 90-minute wait times. Consider skipping it if time is tight.

Stay Nearby the Night Before

Book a hotel close to the park so you can arrive right at opening and maximize your day.

Nearby Attractions from Ghibli Park 

Dondoko Forest

This area is part of the park but requires a separate park bus ride. It's a quiet forest trail leading to the iconic house from My Neighbor Totoro.

Ghibli Museum in Mitaka

Though far away in Tokyo, this museum is often compared to the Cinema Room in the Grand Warehouse. Both show exclusive Studio Ghibli short films.

Nagoya Station

This major transport hub is your easiest connection point for reaching the park. Buses run regularly and directly to Ghibli Park.
