2025 Nagakute Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Ghibli Park is a place where fans' dreams come true, especially the Spirited Away theme area. The moment you walk in, the air seems to become mysterious. The light in Yubaba's office is dim and the atmosphere is eerie, as if she will stand up from behind the desk and curse you in the next second, making people afraid and unable to help taking photos. In the corner, waiting for you is a super cute Totoro statue, sitting next to the wood and smiling at you. It's like walking into the warm memories of the rainy day in childhood. If you are a loyal fan of Hayao Miyazaki, you must not miss this fantasy park that came out of the picture. 🔌 Useful information Store name｜Ghibli Park Address｜Aichi Expo Memorial Park, Nagakute, Aichi, Japan Time｜10:00–17:00 Closed on Tuesdays #Ghibli Park #Nagoya Attractions #Spirited Away Scenes #Ghibli Fan Pilgrimage Site #Totoro Fan Must-Shoot #Miyazaki World #Japan Must-Visit Attractions #Travel Recommendations #Immersive Experience #Animation Fans' Paradise#July Good Places 2025

I recently visited the Ghibli Theme Park in Nagoya, and it felt like a dream come true…! From Totoro's forest to Howl's Moving Castle, every corner is meticulously designed, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the Ghibli vibe✨ There are plenty of photo spots, and the character merchandise is like heaven for fans—so adorable!

Raise your hand if you want to dive into the world of Ghibli~!! (→ A place guaranteed to satisfy every Ghibli enthusiast!)

Finally stepping into the Ghibli Park in Nagoya, it is really as dreamy as walking into a Hayao Miyazaki animation! As soon as you enter the door, you will be attracted by the "Youth Hill" area. The scenes of Howl's Moving Castle and Castle in the Sky are super restored, and you can take masterpiece photos in every corner! Walking into the "Ghibli Warehouse", the full exhibition area is dazzling, including the bathhouse of Spirited Away, the big Totoro in the Totoro Forest, and you can also see the animation production manuscripts and secret props. Fans will definitely scream! The biggest surprise was the "Witch Valley", the Kiki's Delivery Service scene that was perfect for checking in. I was so excited to see Kiki's room and her flying broom, it really seemed like I could see Kiki flying out in the next second! There is also a special limited edition peripheral merchandise area, from Totoro dolls, no-face man cups to Hall's accessories, which will completely break your wallet and you will want to take every one of them home! There are many hidden photo spots in the park, such as the cat bus you can ride on, and Xiaomei and Xiaoyue’s home, which is full of details and really feels like walking into an animation. The overall park is not too big, but each area is full of surprises, and you can spend a whole day strolling around. If you are a Ghibli fan, this is definitely the place where your dream comes true! It is a great place for both adults and children to take photos, enjoy delicious food and make memories all at once! 💞Reason for recommendation: You will regret it if you don’t go! #Nagoya #GhibliPark

This summer family trip to Japan lasted for 7 days. Day 1: Shanghai-Nagoya. After arriving in the evening, we had a very famous pork chop rice [Misokatsu Yabaton Yaba-cho Honten 矢場とん 矢場町本店]. The pork chop was delicious. Since we lived near the Sakae shopping district, we went to the Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER after dinner. The next day: a day trip to Ghibli Park. The park is very big, so we went around until about 4 o'clock and then went back. The big warehouse had an appointment for 11 o'clock. We went around for about 4 hours and bought a lot of souvenirs... For dinner, we went to the local delicious chicken wings [Mountain of the World]. We went there for 2 consecutive days. There is a branch near the Rong business district. I still miss it! Day 3: One-day trip to Kamikochi. It took about 3 and a half hours by bus from Nagoya. The bus stopped at Taisho Pond. It took us about 2 hours to walk to Kappa Bridge. We took some photos near the Kappa Bridge to replenish our energy! Day 4: One-day trip to Takayama and Shirakawa-go, about 2 hours by bus. I went to the morning market in Takayama and ate Hida beef. Then I went to Shirakawa-go at noon. Hahahaha, when the weather is good, Shirakawa-go is really hot 🥵. You can get tanned into charcoal directly. Everyone should wear sunscreen! On the way back, we stopped at Nagoya Station and walked to the Michelin-starred restaurant [Shishimaru Noodle House Lion Ball]. They put a lot of MSG in it. I drank a bottle of water at night! Day 5: Legoland Japan, suitable for children under 10 years old, but it is great for taking photos, and there is also a small aquarium at the entrance! I went to see the night view of Nagoya at night. I bought a ticket at [Midland Square] opposite Nagoya Station to go up to the 42nd floor, and then went to the 46th floor to see the night view. Day 6: I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning, queued up for a drink at [Kato Coffee Shop Ei Store] and waited for a full 90 minutes, then went to the Nagoya Science Museum, which I personally think is very suitable for children, great! After that, we went to the famous Unafuji Shirakabe Bettei. It was really expensive. Four people ate for 1200, hahaha, but the eel was really good. Day 7: I slept until I woke up naturally, took an amphibious bus from Sakae to Nagoya Port, and then drove on the water for 20 minutes. After the drive, I went to Nagoya Castle, which was more spectacular than Osaka Castle! After finishing, I went to Nagoya Station to buy [ECHIRE] but the taste was just so-so. Later, I went to Starbucks Coffee - Nagoya JR Gate Tower. This Starbucks is really good and has an open-air terrace! Compared to Osaka, Nagoya has fewer people. Here I recommend a Nishihara coffee shop, which is very good. You must check it out when you go to Nagoya~ In short, you must go to the restaurants I recommend. They are all delicious foods that you won’t regret eating.

Japan has many theme parks, and in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, there is an animation kingdom - Ghibli Park. Young people born in the 80s and 90s probably all know about Ghibli. Even if the name is a bit unfamiliar, seeing its Totoro logo will definitely remind you of who it is. Hayao Miyazaki's animations accompanied my student days and are filled with youthful memories. Ghibli Park Travel Tips Transportation: Take the subway Higashiyama Line from Nagoya Station to Fujigaoka Station, then transfer to the Linimo Line to Aichikyuhaku Kinen Koen Station. The park is just a short walk from there. Or take a direct bus to Ghibli Park from the Meitetsu Bus Center and other major hubs. Tickets: Tickets can be purchased through the official website or authorized online channels. General admission tickets are usually sold two months in advance and are very difficult to get. Famous Sake Brand [Shiraoi]: At Sawada Shuzo, you can make a reservation for their sake tasting experience. Not only will there be a dedicated person to explain the history of sake, but you can also visit the sake brewing process and finally taste different sakes. If you like, you can purchase them. During the tasting session, appetizers are thoughtfully prepared for visitors, and different sakes are served in different porcelain cups, which are specially made in the Tokoname area. [AEON Mall Tokoname]: The architecture here is very retro, and the most eye-catching is the giant Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) - Tofuku - located in the center of the lobby. As a large shopping mall, there is a wide variety of shops here, and you can find almost everything you want to buy. Plus, it's only one stop away from the airport, making it perfect for picking up some last-minute souvenirs before heading to the airport. [Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road]: Here's another giant Maneki-neko! Let's take a picture together! Stroll along Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road. As the hometown of Maneki-neko, cute Maneki-neko elements can be seen everywhere. You'll also find several small Maneki-nekos in various shapes, making me feel like I've entered a miniature world of beckoning cats. It's very interesting. On Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road, there are many unique ceramic shops run by artists, as well as traditional old-style pottery shops. Everything is made by the shop owners themselves, and each piece is unique and worth collecting. [World Tile Museum]: On Tokoname Ceramic Ware Road, there is also a novel and unique World Tile Museum, which was a surprising discovery on this trip. What impressed me the most was that there are over a thousand representative tiles collected and displayed here, which is quite spectacular. I also experienced "tile pasting" and made a photo frame with small tiles representing the colors of autumn as a souvenir of this autumn trip. The museum has six themed areas where you can not only learn about the history and charm of ceramics but also experience other hands-on projects. [Chubu Centrair International Airport]: It's very close from Tokoname to Chubu Centrair International Airport. Be sure to check out the Flight of Dreams themed area located in Terminal 1. A Boeing 787 is parked here, and visitors can enter the aircraft to take photos and learn about related knowledge. It's very suitable for families with children. There is also a dedicated children's play area below the plane. If you want to free up your hands and entertain your kids, come here! There's also an airplane viewing platform. I must come and experience it next time I have enough time.

✨ If you're torn between visiting Ghibli Park in Nagoya or the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, this guide will help you decide. ✅ Ghibli Park: A theme park focused on interaction and exploration, divided into five areas with attractions, restaurants, and shops. ✅ Ghibli Museum in Mitaka: Offers a glimpse into Ghibli's animation production and rare sketches. ㊙ Ghibli Park 📍 Location: Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture ⏰ Opening Hours: 10:00-17:00 (Opens at 09:00 on holidays, closed on Tuesdays) 🏃 Recommended Visit: Full-day 🌟 Highlights: Grand Warehouse, Totoro's Forest, Witch's Valley, Ghost's Village, Youth Hill 🎫 Tickets: Released on the 10th of each month for the third month ahead (Walking tickets available 7 days in advance) ❶ Grand Walking Ticket Premium: Includes Grand Warehouse + 4 themed areas + all outdoor activities ❷ Grand Walking Ticket: Includes Grand Warehouse + 4 themed areas ❸ Walking Ticket: Includes 4 themed areas ㊙ Ghibli Museum in Mitaka 📍 Location: Mitaka, Tokyo ⏰ Opening Hours: 10:00-18:00 (Closed on Tuesdays) 🏃 Recommended Visit: Half-day 🌟 Highlights: Saturn Theater, Cat Bus Room, Laputa Robot Sculpture 🎫 Tickets: Released on the 10th of each month for the following month. Ghibli Park 🆚 Mitaka 1⃣ Ghibli Park is more expensive and harder to get tickets for than the Ghibli Museum. 2⃣ If time permits, visit both, but plan your itinerary as they are far apart. 3⃣ For Ghibli works and films, the museum is recommended. 4⃣ For a strong experience, Ghibli Park is better with its IP scene creation and movie atmosphere. Limited tickets available for August-October #TokyoSurroundings #MitakaGhibliMuseum #HayaoMiyazaki #GhibliPark #MitakaGhibliMiyazakiMuseum #GhibliLand #GhibliMuseumTickets #HolidayTravel #JapanFamilyTravelGuide.

🎫 Ticket Purchase: Book your tickets directly from the official website two months in advance on the 10th at 1 PM. Log in ten minutes early as the website will start a countdown. If you're in the queue with over 10,000 people, keep waiting; I managed to get a premium ticket after waiting for 45 minutes. ⭐ Electronic tickets don't need to be printed. On the day of your visit, open the email to access the QR code, which is required for entry at each attraction. ⭐ The park is quite large, but each activity area isn't very big. Most of the space is greenery, as it's part of the Expo Memorial Park. It's not recommended to visit in summer due to limited shade, but visiting in September was manageable. 💕 The biggest takeaway: I explored many places because photography is not allowed inside many attractions, but you can freely explore. 🕰️ Without considering buying souvenirs, start at Totoro's Forest. ☁️After entering the park at 9:30, don't take the big elevator. Turn left and continue past the Global Citizens Exchange Center to find the bus stop. Take the free bus at 9:40 to Totoro's Forest. Allow 1 hour and buy a ticket for the Totoro bus at 11 AM at the small hut. We planned to take the cable car to the top of the mountain and then go down to Mei's house. Note that the Inari sign is next to the cable car waiting area; take a photo before going up. Otherwise, you'll end up like us, taking the cable car up, walking down to take photos, and then climbing back up. At Mei's house, you can't take photos inside, but you can explore freely. We even saw someone checking Mei's summer homework. ☁️After that, you can take the Totoro bus. The back of the ticket has a hand-drawn map, and staff will help take photos, though the quality varies by driver. The bus stops at Ghost Village, and you can walk to Youth Hill. ☁️Youth Hill isn't very big; 30 minutes is enough. In the Earth House, you can watch the clock chime in the first-floor lobby. Another place to explore. ☁️At 11:45, line up at the entrance of the Great Warehouse, allowing over 3 hours. The first line is for a photo with No-Face, which takes 1 hour. If you're not keen on such attractions, you can skip it. I regretted waiting halfway through. Nearby are various iconic scenes to check out, and don't forget to watch the short film. Finally, shop till you drop; the store is so crowded you can only walk sideways. There's a snack shop at the entrance selling Tokoname milk (sold out) and red bean cakes. You can also have a meal at the restaurant and try a bottle of Witch's Beer. ☁️At 3 PM, head to Witch's Valley for more exploring. Don't miss any house, and finally, visit Howl's Moving Castle. It looks cool from the outside, but the inside is a bit small, so you can explore it quickly. In Howl's room, the staff enthusiastically stamped our hands, which only shows under UV light, saying 'magic~' with great enthusiasm. It's a great experience. ☁️The park closes at 5 PM. The weather was great today, and we left Miyazaki's animated world via the big elevator. #Nagoya #Ghibli #GhibliPark #HayaoMiyazaki #JapanTravelGuide #Totoro #MiyazakisSummer

Tips and Strategies: 1. Tickets can be purchased on the Ghibli website, usually released about 10 days in advance (very hard to get). 2. Tickets are divided into the main warehouse (main hall) and several other IP-themed halls. 3. I booked through a domestic agent for 178 yuan per person (main warehouse), which is more expensive than the official website, but tickets were unavailable on the official site, and agents had them. 4. Transportation is very convenient, with a direct JR line available; you can check the schedule online. 5. There aren't many dining options in the park; many people choose the Lawson at the entrance (no seating available), and the park's restaurants have queues of about 30 minutes during peak times (I visited on a Saturday). 6. It's recommended to head straight to the main photo area in the warehouse (red building) upon entry, as it gets crowded later. I waited for over 30 minutes. Inside, there are various small scenes from Hayao Miyazaki's IPs, perfect for photos! 📸 #HayaoMiyazaki #Ghibli #Nagoya #IntroduceAGentleman

The answer is: Yes, it's worth it! However, make sure to get the premium tickets. If you can't secure them, it's better to wait until you can. 🚃 Transportation: We stayed at the Nagoya Marriott Hotel and chose either a direct bus or subway to get there, which takes about an hour. If you choose the direct bus, pay attention to the departure times as there aren't many. 🎫 Tickets: There are three types of tickets: Stroll Ticket, Premium Ticket, and Premium Grand Stroll Ticket, which you need to book two months in advance. We bought 2 adults and 1 child Premium Grand Stroll Ticket through a third-party service for ¥1700, which allows access to all themed areas. 🔍 Tips: ▪️ Confirm the entry time for the Grand Warehouse when purchasing tickets. It's best to choose the earliest time slot as there are fewer people, and you won't have to wait long for photos. ▪️ Reserve 2+ hours for the Grand Warehouse, as there are many details worth seeing. There's also a children's play area that kids will love. ▪️ After entering the Grand Warehouse, exchange your movie ticket to watch exclusive films in the theater. We watched the Totoro session, which had a touching new storyline. ▪️ The longest queue in the Grand Warehouse is for photos with No-Face, but similar scenes are common in other places, so it's not worth the wait. ▪️ The store in the Grand Warehouse has many unique items not found in the city. The Tokoname milk and red bean bread at the entrance are delicious! ▪️ For lunch, it's recommended to buy food at the food court outside the Grand Warehouse, where there are fewer queues and plenty of options. Try the eel rice! ▪️ After exploring the Grand Warehouse, we went to the "Valley of the Witch," which includes Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's House, the Witch's House, and Sophie's Hat Shop. The details are impressive, but photography is only allowed outside. ▪️ After "Valley of the Witch," you can take the Cat Bus at the nearby ticket machine. It's highly recommended! The driver will take a group photo before boarding, and you'll receive a commemorative ticket. The ride to "Dondoko Totoro's Forest" is peaceful and unique to the Cat Bus route. ▪️ "Dondoko Totoro's Forest" features Mei's House, which is a 100% accurate recreation, down to the slippers at the entrance. The attention to detail is truly moving.

【Big Walk Ticket】Ghibli Park (¥3500) Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, Hill of Youth, Dondoko Forest, Mononoke Village, Valley of Witches Since I bought a ticket for the Grand Warehouse at 14:00, I need to visit the other four areas within the four hours from 10:00 to 14:00. Suggested route: Take the bus directly to Dondoko Forest, then take the Catbus to Mononoke Village and Valley of Witches, and finally, if there's time, visit the Hill of Youth. As a die-hard Totoro fan since childhood, I can never get enough photos. If you have kids, they can also climb the Totoro Treehouse.

It is a forest park that is completely immersed in the world created by Studio Ghibli, very dreamy and beautiful. The expansive park features five areas: "Ghibli's Grand Warehouse," "Hill of Youth," "Dondoko Forest," "Mononoke Village," and "Valley of Witches." It's impossible to explore everything in just one day! Next time, I will definitely buy a two-day pass to thoroughly explore every corner!!! I love it so much.

When I first went there last winter, I bought a ‘Daesanpo Ticket’ ticket and was only able to see the Daejanggo, but there was more to see in the Daejanggo than I thought, and I was so amazed by the details of the decorations… I was so curious about the outdoor area! So I went again with a ‘Daesanpo Premium Ticket’ ticket✨ I bought a ticket on the website at 2:00 PM on the 10th, 2 months ago, but this time, it was a weekday, so there was less waiting, so I was able to make a reservation easily! I entered at 12 o'clock and had a very fulfilling tour of the warehouse + Howl's Castle + May's House + Youth Hill in that order until the closing time (5 o'clock)😄 However, the park was bigger than I thought, so I was quite pressed for time at the end💦 May's House is located in a far corner compared to other areas, so I had to take a bus, but there were many people waiting for the bus, and sometimes I had to wait for the next bus, so if you feel pressed for time, it would be better to go to Howl's Moving Castle first, which has the most to see, and then look around other areas nearby! (May's House didn't seem to have as much to see as I thought) Howl's Moving Castle has a pretty large area and the details are crazy... ✨ When you actually go inside the moving castle, you'll see the scenery from Ghibli..! There are many things to see on the 2nd floor, but Howl's Room in particular is the place I was most impressed by in Ghibli Park🫢💕 Each prop was so real and mysterious! Since taking pictures inside is prohibited, I recommend that you go and see it in person. Reservation: After registering as a member on the official website, accepting applications starts from 14:00 on the 10th of the 2nd month (first-come, first-served basis) Closed: Every Tuesday Opening hours: 10:00 - 17:00 (Admission time is selected on a first-come, first-served basis in one-hour increments) Location: Nagoya City Aichi Prefecture Expo Park 〒480-1342 Aichi Prefecture Nagoya Prefecture Nagoya-shi Ikemachi-mae-1533-1 Aichi Expo Park (Molicolo Park) #GhibliThemePark #GhibliPark #NagoyaTravel #PlacesToVisitInNagoya #Nagoya #AichiPrefecture #Ghibli

It takes about 50 minutes by car from Nagoya to Ghibli Park, and the transportation is straightforward. Ghibli tickets are relatively difficult to purchase and must be bought three months in advance, and they are non-refundable. Be sure to confirm the date and time before purchasing. The large warehouse is worth visiting again and again, but it gets very crowded. It's best to enter as soon as the park opens; otherwise, you'll have to queue up to take photos at many attractions.

Ghibli Park to open in 2022 There are five major parks. It is recommended to come in and play from opening to closing! Highly recommended and worth a visit! You can see all the classics of Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki Even the restoration of the scenes in the animation is very touching! But the tickets are hard to buy. You must buy them a few months in advance and choose the "premium ticket" that allows entry to all parks. You won't regret it. 😍 #NagoyaTravel #GhibliPark #HayaoMiyazaki

Ghibli Park requires an advance reservation two months prior on the official website, with limited-time entry. There are five zones, each a distance apart. You can take the free park bus or the paid Cat Bus, with the main focus being the large warehouse, which is extremely popular for Hayao Miyazaki's cartoon characters. The park is crowded, and once you leave a zone, you cannot re-enter, so pay attention if you want to buy souvenirs. Queuing is necessary for taking photos, but overall, the arrangement is good.

Aichi Prefecture's Ghibli Park has opened its new Witch Valley themed area to the Japanese media, featuring the Ghibli movies Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle. The park will fully open all five major areas after its grand opening on March 16th. In Witch Valley, visitors can see Kiki's house from Kiki's Delivery Service and the Gutiokipanja bakery, where they can buy Aichi Prefecture's famous Uirō cake infused with Angel's Bell and other breads and sweets.

#2024wish #japan #nagoya This is the Ghibli Park theme park in Nagakute, Aichi, Japan. It is not like USJ or Disneyland which have rides, this is more like a museum where you get to see Ghibli scenes come to life. The nearest station is Aichikyuhaku Kinenkoen Station. There are also limited meitetsu buses from Nagoya station to the Park. It is a must go for Ghibli fans. It is just so surreal and magical to see the sets. You can even see Totoro behind a bar table. So cute! There is also limited edition short Ghibli films for us to watch in a theatre. It changes seasonally. It was a really nice experience over there. I wish to visit the Ghibli museum in 2024

#besttrip2023 You can get to Ghibli Park from Nagoya by bus or train! From Nagoya Station Take the Higashiyama Subway Line to Fujigaoka Station Take the Linimo to Aichi Expo Memorial Park Station It takes about an hour⏰ Dondoko Mori, where Satsuki and Mei's house is located, can be reached by bus or on foot from the Ghibli Warehouse, but walking on a hot day is tough, so I recommend taking the bus! The bus was crowded with many passengers, but it was quite close to Dondoko Mori, so I recommend it for those who are tired of walking✨ After getting off the bus, it's a short walk to the Dondoko Mori area I was impressed that Satsuki and Mei's house was exactly the same as in the anime!! You can even open the drawers They paid attention to the small details You can get to the area where the big Totoro is by stairs or a slope Tickets are by reservation only, so if you want to go inside the house, please make a reservation You can take photos of the exterior without a ticket Opening hours Weekdays 10:00-17:00 Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 9:00-17:00 Closed on Tuesdays #NagoyaTrip #GhibliPark

#freehotelstay This is the Ghibli Park situated in Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. It is built on and within the grounds of Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park). You can either take a train to Ai-Chikyuhaku Kinen Koen station or take a Meitetsu shuttle bus from Nagoya station to Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park. Unfortunately, these are not included in the JR Pass. Although they call it a themed park, it is more like a museum. You get to take lots of Ghibli scenes and see how they are created. I really liked it.

#AichiTrip To get to Ghibli Park, first from Nagoya Station Take the Higashiyama Line subway to Fujigaoka Station Take the Linimo to Aichi Expo Memorial Park Station It takes about an hour We went in the following order: Ghibli's Warehouse → Dondoko Forest → Youth Hill If you bought a set ticket with Ghibli's Warehouse, you could enter Ghibli's Warehouse at any time This is recommended if you can't get a morning ticket for Ghibli's Warehouse However, you must enter Ghibli's Warehouse with your whole group by 3pm ♪ Tickets can be reserved 3 months in advance! I arrived around noon, so I was worried about whether I would be able to see everything, but I quickly went around Ghibli's Warehouse and was able to see everything on time! The famous roleplay scenes can quickly become crowded, so if you want to definitely go, we recommend lining up first✨ In the fall, there will also be a Mononoke area, so we're looking forward to it🎵 Opening hours Weekdays 10:00-17:00 Weekends and holidays 9:00-17:00 Closed on Tuesdays #NagoyaTourism #GhibliPark #GhibliWorld #NagoyaTrip
