Coisas para fazer em Ghibli Park

This starting point is not difficult to find; there are signs for this hotel inside the station, and lockers are also available nearby. I chose a tour group because I couldn't book admission tickets, and since Ghibli Park operates strictly by reservation, if you can't get tickets, you can book this bus tour. This bus tour even provided a tofu bento and green tea, otherwise, the travel time might have been a bit tight. If there's anything regrettable, it's not having a Premium ticket to see Totoro in Dondoko Forest. I also couldn't upgrade on the day, and tickets were still required for areas inside. By the time I reached Howl's Moving Castle, the tickets for entry were already sold out. The Grand Warehouse was very crowded, especially the photo studio and gift shop, with long queues. Inside the Grand Warehouse, many areas do not allow photography, which feels a bit unreasonable. The park has long walking distances, so try to use the park bus as much as possible. Walking would be very tiring. My personal suggestion is to focus on the Grand Warehouse, visit Witch's Valley along the way, and then take the bus to Dondoko Forest and the Japanese Garden. Youth Hill can be largely overlooked. The shops in the Grand Warehouse really have many items not found in Totoro shops, so I recommend bringing enough money. I saw an 85,000 yen Aburaya (bathhouse) model and really wanted to buy it, but didn't have enough money, which was a bit of a shame. As for the itinerary, I would rather spend the entire time at Ghibli Park and skip places like the Toyota Exhibition Hall, staying until closing time. It would be great if Premium tickets could be purchased. The Grand Stroll Ticket, which allows for 6 hours of walking, was just enough. However, if you want to enter the facilities within the park, it might 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.

Ghibli Park'a ulaşmanın sorunsuz yolu. Tur rehberi Lily çok hoştu ve Ghibli ile Nagoya hakkında da konuşmalar yaptı. Sonrasındaki müze (seramik) geziyi bitirmek için harika bir yoldu.

Our Ghibli Park trip yesterday was great! I highly recommend 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! 🤗

It's completely worth it if you couldn't get tickets on the official park website. Everything was super good, and I had no problems with any of the tickets. 100% recommended.

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!

Aki-san was very kind and provided a lot of information for the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the Park and it was the highlight of our Nagoya trip!

Maki and Tomoko were wonderful guides.
