Ghibli Park, which opened on November 1, 2022, within the Aichi Expo Memorial Park (Morikoro Park) in Aichi Prefecture, is the subject of the making-of documentary "How Ghibli Park Was Made: [Phase 1]," which details the production process from its conception to the opening of the first phase.

This documentary, presented as [Phase 1], is a grand record of the production process of Ghibli Park's three areas—"Ghibli's Grand Warehouse," "Hill of Youth," and "Dondoko Forest"—which spanned over 1,000 days of filming. The main feature is over six hours long and is distributed across four discs. (Note: A making-of documentary for [Phase 2] ("Mononoke Village" and "Witch's Valley"), scheduled to open in the fall of 2023, is also planned.)

The production of "Ghibli Park" is being overseen by director Goro Miyazaki. His deep passion for craftsmanship, which is also evident in his filmmaking,
Therefore, the concept was brought to life, and a new park facility unique to Studio Ghibli was born. There is "Satsuki and Mei's House," where you can experience life in the 1950s, and "The Earth Shop," which is so realistic it looks like it jumped right out of the movie. In "Ghibli's Grand Warehouse," a special playground for children called "Children's Town," an original "Catbus," and displays such as a "Robot Soldier" and a "Fake Curator's Office" were created. It is a must-see to watch various craftsmen respond to director Goro Miyazaki's high demands with their professional skills and carefully complete the project over time.

In the "Chikyuya" episode, our designer Kentaro Yamada, Asahi Sasa and producer Toshiyuki Suzuki will also appear.
