[2025 Nagakute Attraction] Travel Guide for Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park) (Updated May)

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

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

The first phase of the park will include "Ghibli's Big Warehouse," "Hill of Youth," and "Dondoko Forest." This time, I went to "Ghibli's Big Warehouse." "Ghibli's Big Warehouse" is an indoor facility packed with exhibits from Ghibli works, from large to small. There were lots of fun things to see, from robot soldiers and Catbuses to soft, child-sized objects and hard exhibits that reveal the secrets of the works. It made me want to watch Ghibli films again. #NagoyaSightseeing #CouplesTrip #GhibliPark #GhibliBigWarehouse #japan #GhibliPark #TravelToJapan #Expo2005CommemorativePark #StudioGhibli #HillOfYouth #DondokoForest #MyNeighborTotoro #RobotSoldier #SpiritedAway #CatBus #KitorikiStudio #KitorikiThemePark #MiyazakiShun #CastleInTheSky #ChihiroAndSen #Haru'sMobileFortress #DragonCat #StudioGhibli #Humanity'sOwnStory #MonochromeHime #LittleGhibliTotoro #SpiritedAwayPark #MoricoroPark

YON FES is a festival hosted by 04 Limited Sazabys and held at Moricoro Park every April. It's moving to June this year. It's the only festival I go to every year without fail. In 2024, it was held for two days on June 22nd and 23rd. There are two stages, and a total of 11 acts will perform. Of course, the final act will be the organizers 04 Limited Sazabys. At YON FES, there are no overlapping stages and it's easy to move between stages. It's really the most comfortable festival every year. It's a very homey and comfortable festival where you can relax and spend your time. It's a great space where you can enjoy not only the live performances but also the food and merchandise. It's a festival that I would definitely recommend to people who have never been. #YONFES #MoricoroPark #Nagoya #NagoyaTrip #MusicFestival2024
