magical worlds of Studio Ghibli films to life you know the Studio Ghibli films don’t you do my neighbor Ttoro Spirited Away and Princess Monoke ring a bell anyway the Ghibli Park we’re visiting today is located just outside the city of Nagagoya the most convenient way to get there is by train but lucky for us my brother Dan is driving us around this place is massive sitting on 17 acres of land on the former Expo 2005 site making it part of the broader Expo Memorial Park our first stop is Jibli’s Grand Warehouse which is what we’re waiting in line for jibli’s Grand Warehouse is the centerpiece of Jibli Park and the largest of its themed areas housed in a renovated indoor swimming complex this immersive space is filled with life-size sets interactive exhibits and iconic scenes from multiple Studio Ghibli films highlights include a massive replica of the air destroyer Goliath which you’re seeing dangling from the ceiling right there there is also a lounging robot soldier from Lapuda and a play area designed like the cat bus from My Neighbor Torto which is especially popular with children the Grand Warehouse also hosts seasonal exhibitions a mini theater for short Ghibli films and the beautifully crafted Delicious exhibit where visitors can admire detailed replicas of Jibli’s famously appetizing food scenes this area offers the richest visual storytelling in the park and provides countless photo opportunities he says to fly away dangerous that is very dangerous but why which you should plan to spend at least 2 to three hours here to take it all in and advanced reservations are highly recommended as entry times are limited and often sell out quickly this is the Academy Award for best animated feature that Jibli Studios got for The Boy and the Heron in 2024 my niece is loving the Ghibli themed play areas throughout the warehouse our journey throughout the warehouse brings us to the gift shop with so many cool collectible items from the films here’s Kelly modeling her new babushka hat you can even find the vinyl records from the soundtrack of your favorite Ghibli movie we finished our tour of the warehouse and reconvene outside on the lush green walkways outside people are just hanging out and having a great time outside there are so many nooks and secret spaces that kids love and my niece bee lines towards this tunnel you can’t forget all the slides that are scattered throughout the park somehow Sora finds every single one of them our next stop is the Valley of Witches which is the park’s most ambitious and largest outdoor zone officially opening on March
