Good morning everyone , my name is Misako, and I have arrived at Ghibli Park. Today is March 16, 2024, which is the opening day of the last park of Ghibli Park, Witch Valley . In fact, there is also a highlight today: the launch of Park Ghibli. I have a My Neighbor Totoro bus that really moves and it can actually carry passengers. I don’t know if I have enough time today to show you all the places I want to see. Let’s try our best to see it. Let’s go Totoro Bus ( The staff at Ghost No Sato Park)
introduced me to the Totoro Bus enthusiastically and showed me the little secret of the Totoro Bus. The key charm is the tail of the Cat Bus!!! Departure from the Totoro Bus (DONDOKO Forest Park)
and arrived at DONDOKO. Everyone , I just finished riding the Totoro bus , and now I see the commemorative card in my hand at Dondoko Forest . This is a commemorative card originally drawn by Hayao Miyazaki. You have to take the Totoro bus. I will give you one as a bonus to explain how to take the Totoro bus. If you want to take it, you need to buy a separate ticket. It is 1,000 yen for an adult and 500 yen for a child . And it only provides on-site ticket purchase at its airport. Currently, there are only two parks. One is the forest of Dondoko where I am now, and the other is the Ghost Village and the Magic Princess Village . Tickets are sold in units of every half hour , and there are only about 40 slots in each time period. Before you take the Totoro bus, in addition to giving you this commemorative card I have, each group of guests will take a photo for you. What you need to pay attention to is that after taking the Totoro bus, photography is not allowed in the mobile room. I just had an actual ride experience and felt that it only lasted about 5 minutes. Everyone must take a ride because its seats are so comfortable and even its roof is covered with fur. It’s so cute. I even touched it. In fact, the driving speed is not very fast , so I just bought a return ticket. Now I am going to go back to the Ghost Village to continue playing My Neighbor Totoro Bus (DONDOKO Forest Park).
Although it is the first day of opening , the passengers of My Neighbor Totoro Bus did not expect it. The homophone of the number on the license plate is Totoro (と10-6). The Totoro Bus (Ghost Village Park)
has returned to the Ghost Village
. Next, we go to the observation deck next door. There is a cable car at the Witch Valley Observation Deck. You can take a cable car. There is a Japanese TV station on site. The weather was great on the opening day of the shooting . I am now at the Witch Valley Observation Deck. This observation deck was only officially opened on March 16th. Look at the scenery behind me. Yes , you can see the new scenery very clearly from this observation deck. The opening of the park, Witch Valley, looks like the whole park. You need to buy an additional ticket to this observatory to come in and see it. It costs 150 yen per person . You can choose to walk up or take the cable car up. What's next? Let's go into the key park and see what's there. You can take a bus to move around the park. In front of it is the entrance to the Witch's Valley. This is a character from "Anya and the Witch". In the Witch's Valley
, you need to show your ticket to dress up as "Hall's Mobile". Castle" Sophie's child looked like a movie scene for a moment... Kiki Bakery (グーチョキパン屋)
The first stop was to visit the bakery where Kiki worked (グーチョキパン house), which completely recreated the movie scene. There is a jam shop inside the bakery. There are no fixed types of bread inside. There are too many breads. I don’t know what to buy. I have to take a photo in front of the store. Now I have entered the Witch Valley. It is the newest and largest park in Ghibli Park. The whole park feels very similar. It is a small town . In addition to amusement facilities, it also has shops, restaurants, bakeries and even souvenir shops. It is so big that you have to spend a whole day to finish it. I just went to Qiqi Bakery to buy bread . There is a bakery here that is modeled after the one in the movie where Qiqi works. In addition to selling bread , it also sells the juice on my hand. Another thing worth collecting is the bread bag. You see it has that written on it. The name of this bakery has a lot of drawings on it. The bread itself can be used as a shopping bag. There are two must-buy breads that can be used in daily life. One of them is Neapolitan pasta-flavored bread. When I first went there, it actually had it. It's sold out because I heard that Goro Miyazaki's favorite is Neapolitan pasta , and another one that I highly recommend is the matcha coli in my hand. The inside of the cake is a dessert called gairo cake. This gairo cake is actually It is a local specialty of Ainagoya. It has a very special taste and contains this wairou cake. I suggest that the first stop when coming to Witch Valley is to go to Kiki Bakery because it is really popular . I came into Witch Valley around 11 o'clock. It took about an hour and a half to queue up at the beginning of the Valley . The park is really full of details. Look at this, isn’t it Kiki’s work clothes? The cat paw hot dog stand (ホットドッグスタンドホット・ティン・ルーフ)
is sold exclusively at the Witch Valley Park. Besides Kiki Bakery, I also recommend beer. There is a hot dog stand next door. This one is made in the shape of a cat's paw. It's very cute. There are black and white ones , but there shouldn't be any difference in taste. I have another one. I ordered a cup of iced coffee and then there is actually a formal restaurant at the entrance of Witch Valley. It has a relatively large space for everyone to sit down, relax and dine. The menu provided is also relatively diverse, but there should be a small queue at the moment , so I suggest you plan your time well. This is my Chinese meal. I’m so hungry. Look who I met at the scene. Pingxiao and Vivi. You guys are awesome . You got the tickets for the first day (Pingxiao). I bought a JTB ticket but JTB It’s a hotel, so it’s more expensive, right? (Ping Xiao) It’s a lot more expensive (Ping Xiao) Do you think you can visit it all in one day (Vivi) It’s impossible, do you mean the whole park (Ping Xiao) Yes, of course it’s impossible ( Vivi) and you still have to queue up for the Witch Valley and you can spend a day there. They will also post short videos and long videos. Remember to go to their IG and YouTube channels and subscribe to them all. Go to the next attraction : Hall's Castle (ハウルの城)
The scene was so shocking that it moved several times an hour. The biggest highlight of being in Witch Valley right now is Howl's Moving Castle behind me. This castle can really move, although it's not like the whole thing in the movie . After a certain period of time, he will blow out smoke and then some of his small parts will start to rotate. It feels like this castle is alive. Then, besides taking pictures, this castle It is really possible to go in and visit , but you have to buy a separate ticket to go in. Then in this park , there is actually a small hill that allows you to take pictures with the scarecrow in the movie and the moving castle behind it . There are a lot of people who don’t know if there is a queue to get to Hall’s Castle (ハウルの城) today
. I met Vivi and Pingke who are also queuing up. If you don’t want to take pictures at the entrance of the castle, you don’t have to queue up with everyone. You can get in faster. I have already come in now. Although photography is prohibited inside Howl's Moving Castle, there is a balcony-like place on the second floor where photography and photography are open. From the lobby on the first floor, there is the most classic one
(picture taken from the official website of ジブリパーク), the one of Calcifer Go up to the stove and go up to the second floor. Hall's super dirty room and then the really super dirty bathroom are also completely reproduced. Then let 's go to the next attraction. There is also a clock tower in the park. I think it is. I also recommend it to everyone. Its observation deck can clearly take pictures of the entire Hall's Moving Castle . Although its height is not as high as the other observation deck , I think the view from it is completely different from that of the Ruins Road (廃烻道り). There are two recommended attractions in this Witch Valley. One is the carousel behind me, and the other is the flying machine carousel (メリーゴーランド). This carousel combines many elements from Ghibli animated movies , such as " Ashitaka's mount in "Princess Magic" or Kiki's broom in "Kiki's Delivery Service" can be chosen to ride on your favorite character. If you want to ride this carousel, it costs 1,000 yen for adults and 500 yen for children. You are not allowed to take pictures or videos during the ride. The ticket purchase office is next to Hall's Castle.
The flight costs 500 yen per person and it will rise by pressing the pedals. I want to ride this one . Another ride is the flying one. The machine is basically developed for children. If you are the only adult who wants to ride, it will not work. You must be accompanied by a child before you can go to Sophie's Hat Shop (Hat Shop) Witch Elevator (Witch)のエレベーター) I just went into the Hat Hat Shop behind me and bought a small souvenir. This shop sells small hat-related products that can only be bought here, as well as candy jars. I bought Sophie’s small hat. In fact, there are also other characters. I also bought a candy jar with a cute Calcifer pattern on it and Howl's Moving Castle. I reminded everyone that it is forbidden to take pictures inside many buildings in the Witch Valley , but they will not expressly prohibit you. It is said that you can't take pictures here. Maybe it would be better to ask before taking pictures. Okino's House (オキノ地) I am now at Okino's house. This is Qiqi's hometown. You can also visit the inside. Photography is prohibited. Furthermore, there is a broom area outside. It is very considerate that the brooms are prepared in different sizes. Children can also take pictures. I heard that ringing the bell can call Kiki's house
. Mom) Now it’s time to close the park at 5 o’clock. Of course I have to go shopping before I leave. Behind me is the 13-person Witch Club store. I just went in and finished shopping. I only bought two things . One of them I was super restrained. One of them is Ji. Ji’s small charm can be hung on the bag . I also highly recommend Calcifer’s drawstring bag. I think this drawstring bag is very delicate and feels thick . I think it can hold some of my travel items. I only bought these two small things. I restrained myself. I will briefly explain to you
(picture taken from the official website of ジブリパーク). The current ticket types and sales methods of Ghibli Park
(picture taken from the official website of ジブリパーク). The current Ghibli Park is Ticket sales will start in the first two months , and the official website will also clearly indicate the ticket sales time. The current ticket types of Ghibli Park are divided into three major types , the cheapest to the most expensive are Ghibli Walking Tickets The Ghibli Walk Ticket and the upgraded version of the Ghibli Walk Ticket are the cheapest Ghibli Walk Tickets. In addition to "Ghibli Warehouse", you can enter the other four parks , but the parts inside these four parks The buildings cannot be visited , and the second most expensive Ghibli Walk Ticket is the five parks including the "Ghibli Warehouse". You can also enter, but some special buildings in these five parks are like "Hua Hua". "My Moving Castle" or "Witch's House", "Occhino's House" and "Mei's House" cannot be visited
(pictures taken from the official website of ジブリパーク). Finally, the most expensive "Ghibli Walk Ticket" "Upgraded version" In addition to the fact that all five parks can be entered, all buildings in these five parks can also be visited. There are two main ways of selling, one is to purchase online through the LAWSON website, and the other is You can purchase tickets at physical convenience stores such as LAWSON or MINISTOP. If you haven’t grabbed the ticket package from the official website
(the picture is taken from the official website of ジブリパーク), there is another recommended way. Just buy a JTB package
(the picture is taken from the JTB official website) . However, the packages sold by JTB usually include hotels or Shinkansen and air tickets , so the price will definitely be more expensive than the package price on the official website . Please make your own assessment. Now that I have come out of Witch Valley, many readers have asked me whether it is possible to visit Ghibli Park in one day. It is impossible. Is it really impossible? Based on my previous experience. The Ghibli Warehouse can take a whole day just to take pictures, eat, queue up and buy things. In addition, the newly opened Witch Valley park covers an even larger area and takes a whole day. Plus there are three other parks. Oh, these three parks, plus if you want to take the My Neighbor Totoro bus , Ghibli fans must spend at least three days if they are serious about playing. If you are an ordinary tourist, I think it will take at least two days to see the whole thing. I had a great time wandering around the park. Looking back on my thoughts on today’s whole day, my personal favorite is the My Neighbor Totoro bus . Another recommendation is of course Hall’s Moving Castle in the Valley of the Witch. The huge 20-meter-high castle is right in front of you. The level of shock can’t be understood just by looking at photos or videos on the Internet. Okay, so this is the current report on the first day of the opening of Witch Valley. I hope you will like this video. I will continue to share topics related to Japan travel in the future. If you like this video, remember it . Please give me a like and don’t forget to subscribe to this channel and share it with me. Then we’ll see you in the next video . Goodbye.
