Ghibli Park: Worth Every Step, Even If It’s a “Pitfall” (Part 1) 🌟

I finally fulfilled my dream of visiting the Ghibli Park! Before heading there, I saw many people saying it was a “pitfall,” but I decided to go anyway. 🌿 🌟 After all, I’ve been a die-hard fan of Hayao Miyazaki for over 20 years. 🌈 Tickets need to be booked three months in advance on the official website. 🌈We got the “Great Stroll” ticket, which grants access to all the pavilions for 7,400 yen. Children over 4 years old need a ticket as well. 🎫 We arrived right at 11:00 and entered the Big Warehouse. I had heard beforehand that the Big Warehouse is the most fun pavilion, and it truly lived up to its reputation! 🌿 🌟 Almost all the photo spots and interactive areas are concentrated here. 🌈 The most popular activity was taking a photo with No-Face; we waited in line for 40 minutes. 🌈While my husband queued, I took Little Yan around to explore. There’s a dedicated indoor play area for children, which is super fun and beautifully designed. 🌈 Kids can easily spend an hour here, but unfortunately, no photos are allowed, which was a bit disappointing. 🌟 Inside the Big Warehouse, there’s also a small cinema that screens short animated films. 🌿 🌟 Since I’ve seen all of Ghibli’s short animations already, I skipped the cinema. 🌈Otherwise, I would have spent at least another half hour there. 🎬 We spent about three hours in the Big Warehouse. The exit leads to a shop where you can buy all sorts of Ghibli merchandise. 🌿 🌟 After shopping, we were ready to head to the next pavilion. 🛍️ #Nagoya 🌇 🌿 🌟
