"Studio Ghibli Park" near Nagoya in 2022

Did you know that Nagoya will have Studi Ghibli Theme Park in 2022, two years after Tokyo Olympics?   This is the second, after Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, and will surely attract a lot of visitors, domestic and international, along with Ghibli fans.  

The Ghibli Park is scheduled to be inside the existing park, where the 2005 World Exposition, Aichi, Japajn was held.  More specifically, it should be in the City of Nagakute, Aichi prefecture.  By walking around in the park, you can visit some features and houses seen in the animated movie "tonari no totoro" or "My Neighbor Totoro". 

Nothing concrete is still decided yet, but just the  announcement has been making so much fuss in and around Nagoya, as you can easily imagine.   Even not ardent fans like us are so excited about being part of Ghibli fever.  We should definitely check it out!

We would like to guide you around in the Park so that you can have some sense of the beauty of the Park and of why so many people are excited about this announcement.
