Ghibli's Grand Warehouse is the largest and most immersive area within Ghibli Park, housed in a converted indoor facility. This multi-level wonderland brings together exhibitions, film screenings, interactive play areas, and themed shops under one roof. Unlike the park's outdoor zones that focus on specific films, the warehouse offers a sprawling journey through Studio Ghibli's entire universe, designed for leisurely exploration and discovery.
The Grand Warehouse sits within Ghibli Park grounds in Aichi's Expo 2005 Memorial Park, serving as the central indoor attraction alongside the park's four outdoor areas.
Access requires a separate timed-entry ticket specific to the Grand Warehouse, purchased in addition to or bundled with other Ghibli Park area tickets through the official reservation system.
