Movie tie-ins are nothing new to theme park projects. But as with much of its work, Studio Ghibli is blazing its own path with a new kind of amusement park—one that doesn’t involve the usual adrenaline-spiking rides. Instead, the famed Japanese production house is bringing its anime classics like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke to life through a nature-centric experience.
 
Working in partnership with the Aichi prefecture in Japan and Chunichi Shimbun newspaper, the team aligned the project to a core theme explored in the studio’s movies: the raw beauty and power of nature. And that vision extended through the project site and specs: The team chose to build within the Aichi Expo Memorial Park in Nagakute—and it’s constructing the park around the trees, not chopping them down.
 
The park opened to visitors in November, with three of the five planned zones completed. Already all over Instagram: Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, featuring buildings and artifacts from films along with restaurants, shops, a playground and an exhibition space. The remaining parts of the project— Valley of Witches and Mononoke Village—are expected to wrap by 2024.
