Following the release of its trailer, Studio Ghibli launched its official website of the Ghibli Park to further tease the forthcoming landmark. This will be the world’s first park inspired by the beloved Japanese animation studio known for its wildly imaginative narratives and visuals.
Currently undergoing construction, the park is set to be structured in Aichi Expo Memorial Park (Morikoro Park) in Nagakute, Japan — a massive land full of greenery much like the settings in the films. As co-founder Hayao Miyazaki intended, there will be no big attractions or rides to invite guests to “take a stroll, feel the wind, and discover the wonders” of the world of Ghibli to fully immersive one’s self.
The site will be divided into five sectors and will showcase areas inspired by the classics namely My Neighbor Totoro, Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and more. Three areas dubbed as “Ghibli’s Large Warehouse,” “Youth Hill,” and “Dondokomori,” is scheduled to open to the public by November 1, 2022.
Serving as another teaser ahead of the opening date, the website features a visual of the “Ghibli Large Warehouse” and gives an introduction to the anticipated park. The site will also be an indicator of relative updates and news to look out for.
