Overview

Step into Studio Ghibli’s world - two days in Nagoya with premium park access and a sky-high stay.

Immerse yourself in Studio Ghibli’s universe with a seamless two-day escape in Nagoya. Sleep high above Nagoya Station at the Marriott Associa for effortless city access, then use your O-Sanpo Day Pass Premium to explore all five areas of Ghibli Park - Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, Hill of Youth, Dondoko Forest, Mononoke Village, and Valley of Witches - plus iconic interiors like Satsuki and Mei’s House and Howl’s Castle. Your timed slot for the Grand Warehouse (10:00–11:00) ensures a smooth start. Travel independently, linger where you love, and experience thoughtful, responsible tourism throughout.

Suggested itinerary

Day 1

Upon arrival to Nagoya, check in to your hotel for the night. The Nagoya Marriott Associa Hotel is directly connected to the station, making arrival smooth in any weather. 

Collect your Ghibli Park admission voucher at check-in. Settle into your high-floor room, then enjoy free time - explore Nagoya’s dining around the station, or unwind with city views.

Day 2

Check out and travel independently to Ai-Chikyūhaku-Kinen-Kōen Station (Linimo). From the station, follow the signs to Ghibli Park inside Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park), which takes about 15 minutes on foot. By arriving 25-30 minutes early, you can avoid long queues at the entrance. 

Use your voucher and passport for admission to Ghibli Park, where you will receive a wristband which gives you access to all other areas. Your designated entry window to Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse is 10:00–11:00. Inside, discover exhibits, sets, and secrets celebrating the craft and imagination of Studio Ghibli.  

Then, explore all five areas with premium access. Continue freely through Hill of Youth (including the World Emporium), Dondoko Forest (Satsuki and Mei’s House), Mononoke Village, and Valley of Witches (The Okino Residence, Howl’s Castle, and The House of Witches). 

Depart the park at your own pace and make your onward journey.
