Ghibli Park: How to get tickets for the Ghibli Park from abroad
One of the most anticipated events of 2022 in Japan has undoubtedly been the opening of the theme park of the renowned Japanese animation studio Ghibli. Created by Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki, Studio Ghibli has produced numbers of anime films known and loved all around the world.
Every time the studio releases a new film it is a box office hit and the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka have been one of the most famous tourists spots during the past years. Finally in November 2022 Ghibli Park opened at Aichi Earth Expo Memorial Park, in Nagoya City.
Until now visitors coming to the park could enjoy Satsuki and Mei’s House, a life-size reproduction of the house from the Totoro movie. At this moment visitors can enjoy three areas: Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, Hill of Youth and Dondoko Forest and in 2023 new additional areas such as Valley of Witches and Mononoke Village will be opening.
Representing the world of the Studio Ghibli movies the new Ghibli Park is larger than other famous theme parks all over Japan. In it Ghibli fans will be able to immerse themselves in the authentic world of some of the greatest Studio Ghibli films while enjoying the nature.
On December 20, 2022, Ghibli Park has announced that the sale of tickets for individual overseas visitors will start on 10 January 2023 (Tuesday). They opened a ticket sales website for overseas individuals with the aim of welcoming foreign visitors to Japan.
Starting from Tuesday 10 January 2023 at 14:00 Japan Time tickets for admission from Wednesday 15 March to Sunday 30 April 2023 will be available at the website.
Please note that due to the strong sales of tickets for the domestic market and the limited capacity to prevent the spread of covid coronavirus infections, for the time being only the noon admission slot for the Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse tickets will go on sale.
As with the Ghibli Museum, tickets are in high demand and have to be purchased months in advance. It’s scheduled that sales of tickets for overseas individuals for admission in May 2023 onwards will start on the 10th of the month three months prior to the month of use.

I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!
Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
