The Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo, opened in 2001 but it is still so popular that most of the tickets are sold out as soon as they go on sale. While the museum is amazing, Ghibli fans have long dreamed of something even bigger.
Their dreams are finally comming true! The Ghibli Park has been announced to open in late 2022 in Nagakute, Aichi.

The building site of the new Ghibli Park is the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park. This area is already home to a recreation of Mei and Satsuki's home from the movie "My Neighbor Totoro" since it hosted the world expo in 2005.

Studio Ghiblis movies have always been about living creatures and environment protection. It is very important for them to not cut down trees or destroy nature in order to build this park.
Therefore, the Ghibli Park will be using playgrounds and open sites at the Aichi Commemorative Park. This way the surrounding nature will be as less affected as possible in order to build the park.

According to recent press releases, the park will be divided into four areas. This includes a general "Ghibli Area" showcasing a variety of different movies and characters.
