International fans just need to make Getting into Ghibli Park easier
Ghibli Park instantly became a travel wish list-topping destination for studio Ghiblis anime fans with opening on November 1 But though the prices of Ghibli Park are good, that doesnt mean getting into the park is a challenge.
Aichi Prefectures Ghibli Park requires guests to purchase their tickets in advance for specific dates and admission times. Much like Tokyo’s Ghibli Museum, the hotel requires a pre-order of tickets to book for those with the correct date. The goal is to prevent overcrowding, preserve the whimsical, welcoming atmosphere the park wants to provide. While in particular, when you add that different sections of the park require different tickets, the very low daily attendance caps, theres plenty of room for getting started, especially if you dont read Japanese or are planning to reserve your tickets from outside Japan.
Luckyly, things get easier for overseas Ghibli fans, as Ghibli Park opens bilingual reservation system for international flights Ghibli Park website describes ticket prices, terms, ticket reservations, here is Lawson Ticket, in English.
Listen to that soot sprite, because hes not joking about it.
Ghibli Park said International ticket sales will be gradual rollout, English-language reservation page still does not offer all of the options that Japanese-language one has. English system is only offering tickets to Ghiblis Grand Warehouse section of Park and only for admission at noon The Japanese-language page also includes the Dondoko Forest and Hill of Youth Areas (a.k.a. the My Neighbor Totoro and Whisper of Heart), and the Ghiblis Grand Warehouse admission times of every hour on the hour from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Ghibli Park visitors to Ghiblis Grand Warehouse with its art displays, photo spot recreations of famous Ghibli films – its nice that its the Warehouse? Thats not surprising considering theres only one section thats ready to start offering English/international tickets.
Ghibli Park tickets were initially available for purchase via a lottery, but its now a first-come, first-served deal, with next batch of f tickets, that’s going on sale Jan 15-April 30 at 2 p.m.
