Ghibli Park opened on November 1, 2022, in the Aichi Expo Commemorative Park (Moricoro Park) in Aichi Prefecture. The making-of documentary "The Making of Ghibli Park [Season 1]" captures in detail the production process from its conception to the opening of the first phase.

The first period is a spectacular record of over 1,000 days of filming, focusing on the production scenes of the three areas of Ghibli Park, "Ghibli's Big Warehouse," "Hill of Youth," and "Dondoko Forest." It is over six hours long and recorded on four discs. (*There are also plans to produce a making-of documentary for the second period ("Mononoke Village" and "Valley of the Witches"), which are scheduled to open after autumn 2023.)

The director of this "Ghibli Park" is Goro Miyazaki. He has a "deep curiosity for craftsmanship" that is also seen in filmmaking.
This led to the creation of new park facilities unique to Ghibli. Satsuki and Mei's House allows visitors to experience life in the 1950s, while the Earth Shop is so realistic it feels as if it came straight out of a movie. The Ghibli Warehouse is home to a special children's play area called Children's Town, an original Cat Bus, and displays such as a robot soldier and a fake director's office. It is a sight not to be missed as various craftsmen respond to director Goro Miyazaki's demanding requirements with their professional skills, carefully completing the project over time.

In the "Earth Shop" episode, our designer Kentaro Yamada, Also appearing will be Sasa Asafumi and producer Suzuki Toshiyuki.
