Tokyo Departure: Ghibli Park Daily Tour (Including Tickets & Shinkansen)

Studio Ghibli,
Into the animation

The true charm of Ghibli Park lies in its more than just a theme park. Instead of grand rides, it's a "story world" where visitors are slowly immersed in a space filled with meticulously recreated buildings, landscapes, and natural surroundings. Scenes previously only seen in animated films come to life, bringing back fond memories of those films. Discovering each and every little detail is also a delight!

Located in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Ghibli Park is comprised of five areas: Ghibli's Grand Storehouse, Youth Hill, Dondoko Forest, Mononoke Village, and the Witch's Valley. This tour includes the Osanpo Day Pass, granting admission to three of these areas (Ghibli's Grand Storehouse, Mononoke Village, and the Witch's Valley), making it an even more complete experience! (Some attractions and areas are excluded.)

Depart from Tokyo and experience the feeling of stepping right into a Ghibli animation world!
It includes a Shinkansen unreserved seat and a round-trip bus ticket between Nagoya Station and Ghibli Park, making travel convenient.

The world of Ghibli, where you'll want to stay all day

Ghibli's Grand Warehouse
The Ghibli Warehouse is an exhibition space that encapsulates the vast world of Studio Ghibli. This is the heart of Ghibli Park and its most popular area. Stepping through the entrance, you'll feel as if you've stepped into a Ghibli animation world. This expansive warehouse, stretching all the way to the ceiling, is filled with films, original artwork, concept art, character models, and set exhibits, featuring life-size recreations of famous scenes from various Ghibli films.

Mononoke Village
Mononoke Village is an area themed after the world of Princess Mononoke, and contains a message of harmony with nature.
Reminiscent of a forest village deep in the mountains, this place within Ghibli Park is a space that particularly focuses on the coexistence of nature and humans, and faithfully recreates the mysterious atmosphere of the work.
Upon entering, a massive model of a tataraba (ironworks) catches the eye, and the wooden and stone structures evoke the feeling of a quiet mountain village. Throughout the area, you'll find Eboshi and his crew's workshop, Yakur (Ashitaka's mount), and sculptures of the forest spirit Kodama, making for excellent photo opportunities.

Witch's Valley
The Valley of the Witch is a new highlight area of Ghibli Park, themed after the world of Howl's Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service.
This is a place where the mysterious and warm world of witches from Ghibli works is brought to life, giving you the experience of actually walking through a village in a fantasy movie.
The magnificent castle from Howl's Moving Castle unfolds before your eyes, and Kiki's Delivery Service is recreated in life-size. As you walk along the path, you'll discover sentimental details, such as the footprints of Jiji the cat, scattered throughout.
