Ghibli Park

The park has five areas inside the Aichi Expo Commemorative Park: Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, Hill of Youth, Dondoko Forest, Mononoke Village and Valley of Witches. With the Standard pass, buildings in Valley of Witches such as Howl’s Castle (¥1,000) are paid for on the day.

Buy from Lawson Ticket or Klook, both linked from the park’s site. A ¥110 fee is added to each ticket. You can buy each type once a month, up to 6 tickets at a time; the named buyer must come with their passport, and tickets cannot be refunded or changed.

The park opens 10:00–17:00 on weekdays and 9:00–17:00 at weekends; only the Grand Warehouse has entry times. From Nagoya Station take the Higashiyama Line to Fujigaoka (28 minutes), then the Linimo to Ai·Chikyuhaku-kinen-koen (about 14 minutes, ¥400); the park is next to the station. There is no parking.

Questions

Can I buy Ghibli Museum tickets on Klook or KKday?
For visitors from abroad the museum lists only Lawson Ticket and Sunrise Tours JTB, and says resold tickets will not be admitted. Buy from one of those two.
What if museum tickets sell out?
A whole month goes on sale on one day and popular dates go first, so be online at 10:00 Japan time on the 10th. The Sunrise Tours JTB bus tour is the other way in.
Is Ghibli Park near the Ghibli Museum?
No. The museum is in Mitaka, west Tokyo; Ghibli Park is in Aichi, about 45 minutes from Nagoya Station by subway and Linimo.
