If you’re a fan of Studio Ghibli’s enchanting films like my family is, you need to check out Ghibli Park in Nagoya, Japan! We had loads of fun here on our Japan trip.
Ghibli Park offered us a magical experience through the beautiful designs and art that filled the place. The park is divided into several themed areas that are unique and so much fun. It highlighted the amazing animated films that make Studio Ghibli so historic and popular.
The park did a great job at showing the historical background of the filmmaking, context, and behind the scenes of films. There was a fabulous area my family went through with film posters, food, and interactive areas.
Some of our favorite spots we went to had characters you could pose next to for movies like Spirited Away (the first film my family watched and made us fall in love with these films), My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, The Boy And the Heron, and others! This photo is from the Ponyo themed area:
Around every corner there were great examples of the films and surroundings that were so detailed. Some of my favorite designs that I noticed here were the wallpapers! The bathroom wallpapers were stunning, and I had to grab a few shots of them as I observed.
We ended our time in the Grand Warehouse in the gift shop where you could find incredibly cute stuffed animals, games, and other lovely things. It was a long and fun day! If you haven’t watched any of Studio Ghibli’s films, I highly recommend giving them a shot!
