Areas opened November, 2022

Hill of Youth

The Hill of Youth area lies near the North Entrance of Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park and greets guests as the gateway to the world of Ghibli Park.
The area has a building portraying the World Emporium where antique furniture and clocks from Whisper of the Heart are repaired and sold. You can also peak into The Cat Bureau from The Cat Returns. The Elevator Tower is available for anyone to use without a ticket to Ghibli Park and showcases a characteristic design of a late 19th-century science-fictional world you might see in Castle in the Sky or Howl's Moving Castle.

Ghibli's Grand Warehouse

Ghibli's Grand Warehouse is one of the areas and chock-full of Studio Ghibli memorabilia.
Enjoy the area's exhibitions related to a variety of Ghibli works, such as My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Arrietty, and From Up on Poppy Hill. A cinema showing short Studio Ghibli animations is also available in addition to three rotating exhibits, to let you delve even deeper into the Ghibli world.
Or give your feet a rest at the Transcontinental Flight Café after exploring the expansive warehouse. And of course, all your souvenir needs are met at Shop "Adventurous Flying Squadron", offering a full lineup of products tied to all of the Ghibli stories.

Dondoko Forest

Dondoko Forest is surrounded by lush greenery and focuses on My Neighbor Totoro, featuring Satsuki and Mei's House. Walk along the path up the mountain behind the house to the peak where you are greeted by the 5-meter-tall wooden Dondoko-do play equipment created in the image of Totoro. The play equipment is built with cedar and cypress from Aichi and allows elementary-school-aged children and younger to play inside.

Areas opened November, 2023

Mononoke Village

At Tatara-ba, created in the image of the film's Irontown, you can grill your own rural cuisine of gohei mochi and experience the culinary culture of Aichi and its surrounding prefectures. Find characters appearing in the film at a slide made in the image of Lord Okkoto as well as the Demon Spirit structure.

Valley of Witches

This space is to be created in the image of a European town with architecture depicted in Howl's Moving Castle and other films, a rest area and restaurant establishment, and other facilities. The multifaceted space plans to let guests enjoy themselves in all sorts of different ways.

Studio Ghibli's first tourism video:
Play Along with the Wind

Studio Ghibli created a promotional tourism video through the perspective of the Ghibli world to show the allure of Aichi—Home of Ghibli Park.
The footage was mainly shot from the air via drone with the prefecture of Aichi as its stage and created thanks to the prowess of movie director Ryutaro Nakagawa, video director Ussiy, and music composer Taisei Iwasaki.
