Special days give fans access to the brand-new Studio Ghibli anime theme park before its public grand opening.
Studio shows off how the beloved character will look inside the Ghibli’s Giant Warehouse section of the park.
A little bad news, but plenty of good news too as two more Ghibli anime are getting attractions at the theme park.
Pulling the curtain back on what awaits you when you step into the magical anime world of Ghibli.
Getting into Ghibli Park will cost more on weekends and holidays, but still far less than Disneyland.
Meet “Miyazo” and “Zukkoro“, a duo based on Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, who come with an interesting backstory.
Studo Ghibli theme park will recreate multiple locations from Howl’s Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki’s Delivery Service.
Aichi park dedicated to the films of Hayao Miyazaki and his studio’s anime masterpieces promises to be free of rides, full of surprises.
