[Real Report] Detailed information about Ghibli Park Witch's Valley! 💌🐈‍⬛👒

A must-visit spot in Aichi! Introducing the famous tourist spots ✍🏻 (All photos are from August 2024) ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ This is the Valley of the Witches in Ghibli Park in Aichi Prefecture. 』 This area is packed with things related to the three Ghibli Witch series, 🪄Howl's Moving Castle, 🪄Kiki's Delivery Service, and 🪄Earwig and the Witch◎ There's Howl's castle and turnips, and you can enter the castle, buy bread at the Rock Paper Scissors Bakery, and there are all kinds of characters on the merry-go-round, so I couldn't stop being excited🌸 I watched Earwig and the Witch for the first time the day before as a way to prepare, and it was so funny that I got hooked (the music is still stuck in my head). Looking through the hole in the screwdriver in Earwig's house, and looking for the magic that Earwig made in Belayaga's magic book were all so much fun🎼🎧 ✍🏻From here on, I'll write my notes ✔︎Opens at 9:00 on weekends and holidays🎫 I arrived around 7:45, and there were already about 20 groups? lined up. The entrance opened at 8:55. I was able to enter at exactly 9:00🪄 ✔︎I was searching for information online beforehand and saw that the Guchokipan store opens 15 minutes after the park and has a 2-hour wait, so I rushed in and lined up right after entering the park, but I was able to enter at around 9:20. Also, the line was shorter around noon than in the morning. lol ✔︎The merry-go-round started to operate from around 9:05. It's easy to take videos and photos because it operates even if there are no riders! It's a chance! (It's hard to take photos at noon because there are always children riding it. lol) ✔︎There was no line for the Scarecrow Cub at 9:10, and there was no maintenance staff. At around 10:00, the line for the Scarecrow Cub was about 10 minutes. The Cubs were on top of a hill, and the staff guided them up about 5 groups at a time. It's nice to be able to take photos one group at a time, but the staff will ask you to limit yourself to 2-3 photos per person. 🗣️ You can take photos with Howl's castle in the background, but it seems like it's hard to get photos without people because the line of people entering the castle will be in the photo. ✔︎ Premium ticket buyers can enter Howl's castle, Okino's house, and Aya's house once each (re-entry not allowed), but you can't take photos inside and it's not that crowded, so it's probably best to leave it for later. (Aya's house was a bit crowded because it was compact) 🔖 In conclusion, rather than waiting in line at the Guchokipan store right after the entrance, it seems like it would be better to go to Kabu first, as you won't have to line up and you'll be able to take photos without people!　　 ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 　　 ✍🏻 Tokyo (as of October 2024) 　 Ghibli Park　📍Address｜1533-1 Ibarakamawari, Nagakute City, Aichi Prefecture 480-1342　🚐Parking｜Available ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ 　 　#Domestic travel #Aichi tourism #Aichi trip #tripdomestic travel
