Ghibli Park: Everything You Need Before Visiting

Q: Which is better, Ghibli Park or Ghibli Museum?

Ghibli Park and the Ghibli Museum each have their own cool features. Ghibli Park is bigger and has different areas like Hill of Youth and Dondoko Forest that make you feel like you're in a Studio Ghibli movie. The Ghibli Museum, on the other hand, lets you see how the movies are made with special short films and exhibits. If you're a big Studio Ghibli fan, visiting both places will give you the complete experience.

Q: Can you take pictures at Ghibli Park?

You can usually take pictures at Ghibli Park areas, but some places might not allow it. Always look for and follow the signs and rules given by the park staff. It's great to take photos in spots like Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, Dondoko Forest, Mononoke Village, and Valley of Witches. But, in special exhibitions or film areas, there might be strict rules about taking pictures.

Q: Are there rides at Ghibli Park?

Ghibli Park is all about fun experiences and cool art instead of regular amusement park rides. You can walk through real-life scenes from your favorite Ghibli movies, check out Mei's House, and explore the mysterious Antique Shop. Even though there aren’t any big rides, the park has lots of interactive attractions that everyone will love.

Q: How to book Ghibli Park tickets?

Ghibli Park tickets are not sold anywhere on the park grounds, so you have to buy your tickets early online. By booking online, you can see which days and times are available, making it easy to plan your visit. It also saves you from standing in long lines or missing out on tickets if the day is sold out.

Q: How to get to Ghibli Park?

Getting to Ghibli Park is easy! First, take the Higashiyama Subway Line from central Nagoya to its last stop, Fujigaoka. This takes about 30 minutes. From there, hop on the Linimo elevated train and get off at Aichikyuhaku Kinenkoen Station. This station is right in front of the north park entrance gate of the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park. You can also choose to take a direct bus from the Meitetsu Bus Center next to Nagoya Station. The bus ride is about 40 minutes and runs about every hour.

Q: How long to spend at Ghibli Park?

You should plan to spend a whole day at Ghibli Park, especially if you buy the premium pass. This way, you will have plenty of time to check out all the different areas like Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, Mononoke Village, and the Valley of Witches. Each area has unique attractions and fun things to experience, all inspired by Studio Ghibli films. Taking your time lets you enjoy the magic of the park.

It's like stepping into the world of Ghibli! Ghibli fans must visit. There are scenes and towns from many Ghibli films. Most of the rides are for children. There's a short film about Ghibli Park, but it seems to change regularly. There aren't many activities, but the park is very large; one day isn't enough to see everything. The standard ticket has limited access. If you want to enter other zones, you need to buy additional tickets for those specific zones. Totoro's Forest is 400 yen. The rides that adults can enjoy are the carousel and the airplane, but you need to buy extra tickets for them.

If you enjoy taking photos, you might want to choose just one location, otherwise you'll feel rushed. Alternatively, I'd suggest staying overnight. Our driver was excellent; she drove very smoothly and was extremely polite. A six-hour round trip (three hours each way) must have been tiring for her. I highly recommend visiting Shirakawa-go in both summer and winter; it's truly beautiful.

Everything was really great overall. We got to everywhere we wanted/needed to be and the instructions got me where I needed to go. I do wish some of the finer points (like going to the information desk to pick up the tickets instead of just “B1 of Kitte” or a better guide for getting to the bus stop). Otherwise, super helpful to have everything bundled into one when I can’t buy tickets from the website directly.

◎ The timing was excellent; we not only explored three areas of Ghibli Park but also visited Japan's renowned Toyota Museum. The itinerary was very fulfilling. ◎ The round-trip bus saved us a lot of time we would have spent on transfers. The bus was quite comfortable, and I even fell asleep on the way back. ◎ Our tour guide was a very interesting Japanese gentleman, I believe his name was "Ushida Yasuhiro." On the way there, he patiently introduced the itinerary, counted heads, and kept the atmosphere lively. On the way back, seeing that everyone was tired, he started singing for us and even handed out song sheets (Ponyo's theme song, which Fan Xiaoxuan covered as "Doudoulong"). The trip was quite enjoyable. ◎ Ghibli Park is definitely worth a visit; it's Miyazaki's world everywhere you look. I spent a long time taking photos in the Ghibli's Grand Warehouse. At Mononoke Village, I didn't have the patience to wait in long lines, so I only spent about an hour there and rode the carousel 🎠. There were many tourists from Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, and they were all quite enthusiastic and willing to help take photos, which was very nice. ◎ Afterwards, we went to the Toyota Museum and saw many cars, souvenirs, and cultural exhibits. It was excellent.

The location is very close to the subway station, and there's a convenience store less than a 5-minute walk downstairs, which is very convenient. It was raining heavily on the day we arrived, and we got there early before our room was ready. We left our luggage, and when we returned at 3 PM to check in, the staff informed us that the room was ready and our luggage had already been placed inside. The service was excellent! The only downside is that the bathroom is quite small; if you're a larger person, you might find it a bit tight to turn around. (￣O￣;)
