Ghibli Park

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.
