Ghibli Park Exhibition

Studio Ghibli has such an enduring appeal that anything bearing its name is bound to succeed. Ghibli Park is a prime example. This immersive attraction is easily the studio’s crown jewel, as it brings the anime house’s beloved universe and heartfelt storytelling to life.

Back in 2022, to coincide with the park’s highly anticipated opening, the ‘Ghibli Park and Ghibli Exhibition’ toured ten venues across Japan, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at the park’s concept and creation. The travelling exhibition was a massive hit, drawing approximately 1.7 million visitors at the end of its run in 2025.

Now, more than three years after the park’s debut, a new exhibition is set to tour Japan, this time highlighting the park’s current state. The best part is, the new exhibition will kick off in Osaka this July before travelling to other prefectures.

This new Ghibli Park Exhibition will have 'play' as its theme, with a majority of the showcases designed to be interactive and experiential. One key exhibit is the Mini Ghibli Park, where all five zones of the Aichi attraction are recreated as a board game experience. The squares on the floor are styled after Ghibli Park posters, and there will be plenty of games and photo opportunities.

Moreover, visitors get to enjoy two of Ghibli Park's most popular features here in Osaka. One is the revised and expanded edition of the 'Delicious! Animating Memorable Meals' exhibition, which explores the important role of food in Ghibli films through sculptures as well as production materials including storyboards and background art. Of course, no Ghibli exhibition is complete without the crowd-pleasing set pieces. This time around, visitors get to insert themselves into iconic scenes from 'When Marnie Was There' and 'Porco Rosso', among others, for immersive photo opportunities.

Fans of 'Spirited Away' will be extra pleased to know that Haku the dragon will appear as a majestic sculpture, serving as the symbolic centrepiece of the Ghibli Park Exhibition.

Tickets for July and August are now available online, while September tickets will be released on August 1 at 10am JST. When booking, you'll need to specify your preferred admission time, with slots available every half-hour from 9am. More details here.
