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

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.

【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.

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. In addition to the moving castle from Howl's Moving Castle and Hajjer's hat shop selling original merchandise, there is also the Witch's House from Earwig and the Witch and Howl's Castle where visitors can take photos. Performances will take place several times an hour at Howl's Castle, where the castle will move and emit smoke, and visitors can also enter to see the perfectly restored character rooms. The park's amusement rides will feature a carousel decorated with vehicles from Ghibli works and a flying amusement ride created from the flying machines that appeared in the films.

#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

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!!

#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

Tickets have to be bought online in advance. Foreign countries can only buy Ghibli Grand Warehouse! There are many Ghibli works in the warehouse, and I didn't expect that it can take more than 2 hours to check in, such as "City in the Sky": robots and ruined gardens, "Thousand and Away": in addition to the scene where Grandma Tom works , and there is a scene of Heavy Chihiro and the Faceless Man sitting side by side on a tram There is also a Cafe, we have specifically tried milk and red bean buns 😋 #Japan #Notes Inspiration #Japan Travel #Japan Travel #The World of Hayao Miyazaki and Ghibli #Travel Strategy

Take the tube and transit to another tube which you can’t use the day pass. This commemorative park is big and clean. There are some plagues at the entrance to record the history of this park and a convenience store - Lawson with souvenirs sold. Also there is a souvenir shop opposite to it, selling characters like Moonmin and his friends. A free museum showcasing the expo at 2005 is worthy to be visited, but the way to get in isn’t very clearly stated

#AichiTrip [How to get there] Take the Tobu Kyuryo Line Linimo and get off at "Aichi Expo Memorial Park Station" This park expresses the world of Studio Ghibli!

Ghibli Park sells tickets for three months later on the 10th of every month! I've always wanted to go, so I won a ticket and finally landed in Nagoya! Currently, three areas are open: Ghibli's Big Warehouse, Hill of Youth, and Dondoko Forest. The Big Warehouse, full of Ghibli secrets, was so much fun, so much more spacious than I imagined, and full of things to see! There was a long line just to take a photo with No-Face! The photo time was incredibly short and you were told right away. Honestly, I wish they'd improve that. Maybe it depends on the date and time you go.

The Ghibli Park in Nagoya, which opened last November 🤩, was so popular that several months' worth of lottery and first-come-first-served tickets were sold out! 😱 Moreover, foreigners found it difficult to purchase tickets because they had to provide a Japanese address and phone number. 🥲 When I checked in December, all tickets were sold out until March. However, I was able to visit by purchasing a package that included a hotel and Ghibli Park tickets. 🙂🙂 We visited the largest and most famous "Ghibli's Treasure Trove," which had many photo spots that recreated famous scenes from Ghibli animations and sets that made us feel like we were in the actual animation! It was really enjoyable! 😍 Although Ghibli Park is a theme park, you can still enjoy the park without a ticket. There are many animation-related sculptures and exhibits throughout the park, so it's fun to explore. 😁 If you're a fan of Ghibli, you can still have a great time walking around the park even without a ticket! 📍Ghibli Park ジブリパーク Located at 乙1533-1 内 Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park), Ibaragabasama, Nagakute, Aichi, Japan. #JapanTravel #HotSpot

Ghibli Park just opened in November last year. As a Ghibli fan, I must go and see it🥳 Transportation strategy: Take the subway from Nagoya Station to the Maglev Train to the Earth Expo Memorial Park Must-see attractions: When you enter the entrance and turn left, you will see the central exhibition room. There are many scenes from the movie. You must go immediately, otherwise there will be a lot of people lining up and you will have to wait for a long time! Must-eat food: When you come to the park, you must try the red bean sandwich from "The Wind Rises"!

As a fan of Hayao Miyazaki's animations, Ghibli Park is a must-visit. Although it was a pity that I couldn't get tickets for all three parks, I was able to enter the Ghibli warehouse area and carefully experience the memories of each scene. In addition to the inherent exhibitions in the venue, there is also an area full of Ponyo's ocean feeling, echoing the jellyfish image of Ponyo's mother. On the ceiling of the women's restroom, there are different styles of jellyfish swimming in the sea above each cubicle, and the water ripple lights are really beautiful. I wonder if you have discovered this hidden art installation? Don’t forget to look up when you go to Ghibli. #Valentine's Day Places #Ghibli #Japan Travel #Japan #Nagoya
