Highlights

Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse

More than three times the size of the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, Ghibli's Grand Warehouse is a domed mini town that you can enjoy in any weather—complete with an exhibition room, playground, shops and restaurants, and exhibit warehouse.

Hill of Youth

The Hill of Youth has an observation tower that overlooks the park, reminiscent of the same tower from Laputa: Castle in the Sky, as well as the antique repair and resale shop from Whisper of the Heart.

Dondoko Forest

A Showa-era town, Dondoko Forest is surrounded by rich nature and draws elements of its exhibitions from My Neighbor Totoro. Visit Satsuki and Mei’s house and marvel at the tall Totoro figure in the center of the forest.

Mononoke Village

The Mononoke Village includes a life-size replica of Tatara-ba from the beloved Princess Mononoke film. The area also is populated by many of the mythical creatures from the movie, such as the tatari-gami and the boar god.

Valley of Witches

A mashup of scenery from both Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service, the Valley of Witches is sure to be a magical place for you. Set in a European-themed village, this area of the park features a recreation of the bakery where Kiki lives and works along with a 16-meter-tall replica of the Calcifer-powered castle from Howl’s Moving Castle.

Access
