The Ghibli Park Grand Warehouse is located in Nagoya, Japan. It’s an attraction built in Ghibli’s newest theme park. However, there are no roller coasters or any other kinds of rides in this park. Instead, it’s a park filled with life-size representations of the animated movies from the world of Studio Ghibli.

What is the Ghibli Park Grand Warehouse?

Ghibli Park’s Grand Warehouse is like stepping into a Ghibli animated movie, with a variety of attractions.

There is a video exhibition room called Orionza, a gift shop, a café called Transcontinental Flight, and a milk stand that offers local milk in originally designed bottles. They also offer sweet bean cakes.

There are also exhibits based on the motifs of Laputa: Castle in the Sky, My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away and Arrietty.
