Ghibli Park from Nagoya made easy with a reserved ticket, bento lunch, round-trip bus transport, and free time to explore.
“The experience overall wasn't very good. For one hand, we received thr tickets for the park and the obento for lunch. On the the other hand, they lied about having access to all areas (in March), we were only able to access to 3 parts of the park. Also, the instructions of how to get to the meeting place were so ambitious and confusing. We ended getting a taxi to the park. Overall won't recommend to book from this website. If you can buy your tickets in advance you will so much money and have more fun, too.”

Learning about the history of the Game Boy and other handheld consoles was fascinating, and building my own upgraded Game Boy with new technology and a custom case was absolutely unforgettable. The whole experience felt creative, inspiring, and very personal — and the people there were genuinely the sweetest. If you love gaming, design, or tech, this is a must-do in Tokyo!”
