"The much-anticipated Ghibli Park which opened this month is located about a four hour drive southwest of Tokyo or two hours east of Kyoto in the Aichi prefecture’s Aichi Expo 2005 Commemorative Park (also known as Moricoro Park). The theme park is unlike any other dedicated to an animated franchise with areas like Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, Dondoko Forest area, and The Hill of Youth section. Mononoke Village will open in the fall of 2023, followed by Valley of Witches in spring 2024. Tickets are a coveted commodity and are currently sold domestically." - Travel + Leisure Editors
