Japan’s latest theme park has been opened with the Ghibli theme park as three of its five sections opened to the public on 01 November.

The attraction in central Japan has been long awaited by fans of Studio Ghibli’s beloved animations, from “Howl’s Moving Castle” to the Oscar-winning “Spirited Away”.

Now a fluffy Cat Bus, a life-sized No-Face and recreations of buildings from the films are ready for visitors less than a month after the country fully reopened its borders to foreign tourists.

Such is the demand that tickets to enter the brand-new theme park are reservation only, and are already sold out until the end of the year.
