Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up in front of the Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel to set off towards Ghibli Park. Ready to enjoy this unique space inspired by the Studio Ghibli animated universe? Say no more!
After a 45-minute bus trip, we'll reach Ghibli Park, located on the site where the Expo 2005 was held. This thematic space recreates the Studio Ghibli universe, offering an immersive experience in the worlds created in films as iconic as My Neighbour Totoro and Princess Mononoke.
On this day trip, you'll have included the Ghibli Park O-Snapo Day Pass Standard, which will give you access to the three main areas of the park: Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, Mononoke Village and the Valley of Witches.
Throughout the day, you'll get to explore Ghibli Park at your own pace, take photos with the decorations in each area, and enjoy a delicious bento-style lunch inspired by the films. What a treat! The menu, which also has a vegetarian option available (which may include dashi, a typical Japanese broth, and eggs), includes a drink.
Then, we'll do one of the visits described below and, lastly, we'll return to our original meeting point, where we'll arrive after a total of 8 and 8.5 hours.
