Arrive before the park opens to allow for a generous five-hour visit. With good weather, you can freely stroll to outdoor attractions or take the free shuttle bus.

Absolutely fantastic experience. The park was fully explained on the way so we knew what to expect. The Park was perfect, the warehouse was exactly as expected. We had a singalong of a couple of Gibley songs with our tour guide on rhe way to the flight museum, the was completely unexpected and lots of fun. The flight museum capped the day off. A very well managed trip, recommend 😍

The long-awaited trip was meticulously arranged, with courteous and timely assistance provided as needed! The scenic spots were well-organized, but the Aviation Flight Museum in the afternoon was rather dull and could be omitted! Also, the lunch was distributed before departure and had to be carried around while touring the park, which was a bit inconvenient!

10/10!! I highly recommend this trip. Ms. Akiko really tried to give us useful information, regarding the waiting time for food places before the visit, and tried to make it more fun with singing the Totoro song on the bus, etc. When I visit again, I would love to try out other tours led by her or the JTB tour. However, make sure to read the list of attractions included in the trip. I didn't read so it is my fault but my package didn't include Dondoko forest and the tickets were sold out so that was a bummer.

This was a great way to get to see ghibli park and the toyota museum was a good bonus. Highly appreciate that bento boxes were provided for already so as to avoid the long lines for food stalls in the park. Vegetarian bento box was very tasty. 5 hours in the park was just enough for the standard pass. Just a bit sad that it was raining. Shout out to Akiko iur guide for being lively and trying to tie up the toyota museum experience to ghibli park.

Due to my delayed flight, I was worried that the tour might be canceled. However, the tour operator was incredibly understanding and even saved the lunch bento box for me to enjoy later. Ghibli Park was visually stunning, and it was a delightful experience to relive my childhood, especially seeing the Howl’s Moving Castle in person. The museum was also a plus for me. Thank you for the wonderful tour!

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.
