really love your channel i love that you explain things love seeing the stores and food in the parks am pretty new to subscribe and id love to go to japan wanted to go since i was a little boy i really hope one day i can go thank you for your amazing videos love to see all the parks in japan and my favorite movie is spirited away and so is my little brothers and my partner loves my neighbour toronto lol 🙂
Spirited Away
Only Yesterday is my favorite too! I thought I was solo in my love for it. Mainly due to the beauty of the landscapes, my love of farming, parallels to my own struggles as a child, and the Hungarian music!
Cat bus!!! 😻😸
I wish you showed more of Spirited Away 😢
I’ve never seen a single ghibli movie but I love the amount of detail they put into everything I wish the US parks were better at it
Nausicaä Valley of the wind has always been my favorite film. Even when my first ghibli film was Princess Mononoke.
I have a weakness for animals, and flying.😆 And the world was just really beautiful. The falling spore scene is my favorite.
Poppy Hill is way up top for me now tbh, and adore Spirited Away, (etc etc) but Totoro is our first & forever fave. We had a vhs tape in the mid 90s (from a young friend whose name I forget) with bootlegged subtitles when our children were tiny, that was so very special. Had a copy of Nausicaa as well. (Wish I knew what happened to those…!) So sorry Ghibli, you just couldn’t keep it in, it was too good! Just happy to have seen it undubbed pre-Disney.
So yikes, not a fan of bootlegging in any way, but dang it was SO exciting to see what was going on. I hope/imagine I’ve spent enough on merch to make up,for that 😉
Thank you for this amazing video! Not sure when I’ll be able to leave Aus next to get to Japan again so this video brought me unbelievable amount of joy ❤
Watching this may be the closest I get to making it to the Ghibli park!
Hello, thanks for sharing, is so informative!
But I couldn’t manage to find a way to buy the ticket for Hill of Youth and Dondoko Forest from the official website as a foreigner… would you mind to share your experience on this ? Thank you
Honestly- I am with you, Only Yesterday is my favorite. I LOVE all of the films, and they all are wondrous and special to me inter own ways and create different types of goose bumps on me. But if I was picking one to watch for the rest of my life- it would be "Only yesterday".
I hope to get to visit these parks one day!! Also hoping by the time I am able, the other parts of the park will be open 🙂 Love your videos, hello from California!
You should showcase your clear file collection. I also couldn't resist one in my short stay in Japan!
I Believe Spirited Away was my intro to Ghibli. My sister let me watch it. After that I binge their movies most of the time. Tales of Earthsea and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind are my most treasured movies. I loved their color grading, stories, costume, and character development.
Oh I believe the tunnel at 6:37 is the main characters dream tunnel from Whispers of the heart
I can’t wait to go myself it looks so beautiful🥺🫶
I love your voice and personality
I am so excited to go on the 18th, even thought it's only the Grand Warehouse. I am still excited!!!
My cat did indeed swing round to look and see what was making the jingly noise! It's ok though as he is a Ghibli fan (mostly because we always watch them snuggled in a pile of blankets).
Thank you for showing us round.
Hey chris a bit of a update on something, I just got back from japan and hit up USJ, Currently they are running lottery's on accessing Super Nintendo world. The lovely staff did give me the hint that if i was to be there at opening (normally 8 but recently 7:40am) you can walk stright into the Super Nintendo world without any lottery ect.
Hi, mr. Tdr, kawaii contents! Watching and enjoying your passion. Arigato Gozaimasu!
This looks so cool! I'd love to visit Japan and come here. My Studio Ghibli comfort movies are Kiki's Delivery Service (my intro to the studio when I was little) and Howl's Moving Castle. But I could watch almost any of them just to feel chill and have some good background music.
I am going to Japan in May and I so wish I could go to the park! They were already booked for May when I went to buy the tickets 🙁 still going to go to the museum though!
Love your videos. It's like we're there with you! 🥰 I'm wondering – how far can you go towards Dondoko Forest without a ticket to that area? Hoping to visit in 2024!
❤ LOVE THIS! So Jelly! I watch Studio Ghibli movies every day and always wanted to go inside the cat bus. Liked , Subscribed, and shared your video. Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see if I win! 🙏👩👧👦👩🏼🎨😊 they have a watercolor set at the museum I’d love. Wish I was there!
I’m watching this after getting a matching soot sprite tattoo with my friend. Hopefully one day I’ll make it to see this.
Thank you so much. I love your videos. I hope I win. 😸
YES! One of my favorites is also Only Yesterday!! Other one is From Up on Poppy Hill.
Is it possible to use tripod in Ghibli Park? I’m a solo traveler and I think I would be very sad if I could not snap any photos of myself with the park 😢
This makes me want to visit that much more!! Thank you for taking us along with you!
How did you boo other areas!? I got my warehouse ticket but I can't get verified to purchase other parts through the Japanese website plz help!
I have just started watching them. My Neighiur Totoro is my favourite so far. I started watching them after seeing this video the first time. Now I am hoping we can get tickets here when we go to Japan in November!
