Valley of Witches: a New Ghibli Park Attraction
Veronica CarnevaleOn March 16, 2024, Ghibli Park opened the Valley of Witches. This whimsical area is inspired by Studio Ghibli’s witch-related ..
Ghibli Park
Enter a fantasy world filled with serene scenery where you are dropped into a Studio Ghibli movie set. Ghibli Park doesn’t host any rides or attractions; instead of an adrenaline rush assaulting the senses, you’ll wander through tranquil sets of many Ghibli movies and original conceptual townscapes. As you take a stroll through the park, let your inner child lead you from one exhibition to another. This is truly a park experience unlike any other and aims to build upon the success of Tokyo's Ghibli Musuem. You will be able to focus on each of your unique senses and interact with your creativity—and the nature around you—in a childlike way that will reintroduce you to the wonder in your heart.
Ticket sales and information can be found via Lawson Online.
NOTE: Purchasing a ticket will not gain you access to the entire park and its attractions. Each attraction has its own ticket and price, each ticket also comes with its own entry time for the corresponding attraction (Arrive and hour before your reservation time).
Upon entering you may stay as long as you like, until closing.
Advance tickets typically sell-out very quickly and sales begin on the 10th of each month at 2pm JST for entry three months later.
NOTE FOR INTERNATIONAL TICKETS: Currently tickets are only being sold for Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, no other attractions are available.

Highlights
Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse
More than three times the size of the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, the Grand Warehouse will be a domed mini-town that can be enjoyed in any weather. Complete with an exhibition room, playground, shops and restaurants, and exhibit warehouse.
Hill of Youth
Gateway to Ghibli Park, will be the first exhibition people encounter as they enter the park. An observation tower overlooks the park, reminiscent of the same tower from Laputa: Castle in the Sky.
Dondoko Forest
A Showa-era town, Dondoko Forest is surrounded by rich nature and draws elements of its exhibitions from My Neighbor Totoro. Visit Satsuki and Mei’s house and marvel at the tall Totoro figure in the center of the forest.
Valley of Witches
A mashup of scenery from both Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service, the Valley of Witches is sure to be a magical place for you. Set in a European-themed village, this area of the park features a recreation of the bakery where Kiki lives and works along with a 16-meter-tall replica of the Calcifer-powered castle from Howl’s Moving Castle.
Mononoke Village
Planned to open in 2023, the Mononoke Village will include a life-size replica of Tatara-ba from the beloved Princess Mononoke film. The area will also be populated by many of the mythical creatures from the movie, such as the tatari-gami and the boar god.
