What is Ghibli Park?
Ghibli Park is a park that represents the world of Studio Ghibli.
With close consultation with the surrounding forest,
it is being built on and within the grounds of Aichi Earth Expo Memorial Park (Moricoro Park).
There are no big attractions or rides in Ghibli Park.
Take a stroll, feel the wind, and discover the wonders.
“Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse,” “Hill of Youth,” and “Dondoko Forest”
will be the first to open on November 1, 2022.
Welcome to the great warehouse of Studio Ghibli’s secrets and iconic architectures you have seen in the films.
