We have bought the premium pass, but it’s far from what I expected. Quite disappointed with my experience. It’s only for Ghibli fans and not geared towards children. There are only houses of decorations of the films. Please do not treat it as an amusement park. It should be called a museum. There are lack of water fountains, too little areas to have cold drinks. Not much restaurant options eithe...

Absolutely amazing if you're a Ghibli fan! The attention to detail is a highlight of the park. There is much to see so it's best to plan to spend a full day here.

Not much shade so bring an umbrella or protective clothing. I'd recommend starting in the vall...

I bought the ticket that gives me access to the whole park, it...

Tourist trap for all. It's confusing buying tickets, especially for foreigners. It appears when buying tickets you have to set a reservation time. I thought it was for the entire park, but it's only for the Grand Warehouse. All other places you can go in whenever. Just make sure you get to the Warehouse within the hour on your ticket. As for the content..I'm glad I went. It's basically wondering...

Fair warning, the price you pay for the ticket is essentially just for entrance to the park areas and the warehouse. Located in what used to be the old World Expo site, the different entrances to each individual part of the park vary. You just need to show the qr at each entrance to get in. access to two areas (forgot what they were) are only allowed with the advanced ticket. The rides in the par...
Spring and autumn offer mild weather and vivid foliage. In summer, start early to beat afternoon heat. Winter visits feel crisp and quiet but dress warmly.
