This place was SO MUCH FUN and NOSTALGIC. If you're a big fan of Studio Ghibli films, this place is a must. However, ☆ I recommend coming AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. We spend most of our time in the Grand Warehouse standing in long queues for photo opportunities and some we were not able to do, because other things in the park closed at 5pm (we got into the warehouse at 1030ish AM and didn't leave until close to 2pm) ☆ when you get into the warehouse, the FIRST thing you should queue up for is the photo op with No Face (if you don't get in this line early enough, you could be in it for hours later - no exaggeration. We ate lunch & saw the same people in line that had barely moved) ☆ the cinema showing is only in Japanese and does not have English subtitles. We didn't mind this, but we know many people recommend avoiding audio related things if you don't know Japanese... ☆ when you go outside to see the rest, take advantage of the little shuttle that drives around the park. After hours of standing in queues and rushing from one place to another, we really regretted not doing this. ☆ The location itself is an actual PUBLIC park, aside from the areas you reserve entry into (i.e. witches area, Donroko Forest, etc.) and a massive one at that. Expect to see lots of cute dogs, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to participate in seasonal things being held in the public area!
