The important thing in obtaining tickets to Ghibli Park is to know when they go on sale.
In terms of time, it is the same worldwide, “2:00 p.m. (2:00 p.m.) on the 10th of every month” in Japan time.
However, even though it is generally Japan time, it may be quite difficult to convert the time depending on the time zone.
I couldn’t buy it because I was late! with a lamenting(?) message, “I was late and couldn’t buy the ticket! I couldn’t buy the ticket because I was late! We have received many requests for tickets, but unfortunately, we are not able to provide them.
We have received many requests, but unfortunately, we are not an official website.
We can’t give you information on how to purchase tickets, but we thought we might be able to do something to help.
The first thing we can do is to make a comparison chart of time zones by country and region with Japan time.
When you have decided on your travel schedule and need to buy tickets, you can refer to this chart! Please refer to it when you have decided your travel schedule.
The listings are based on countries in order of the number of visits to this site and divided into each region.
The United States and Canada dominate the list, so the list is ordered by major countries in each of the North American continent, Asia/Pacific, and Europe.
Local time in Japan is listed behind Europe, so please refer to it when actually obtaining tickets.

Now, have you figured out the local time and time difference from Japan? If your country is not listed, please let me know in the comments! If so, please let me know in the comments.
Then, let’s look at admission and tickets to Ghibli Park.
Essential Knowledge to Obtain Internatonal Tickets for Ghibli Park
For a while after the 2022 opening, Ghibli Park tickets were literally platinum tickets.
However, from around April 2023 application (i.e., July admission), even Internatonal Tickets are no longer sold out on the same day.
Even at the end of July, there are still quite a few tickets left for August admission to “Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse.
On the other hand, tickets for “Dondoko forest,” which were relatively easy to get when tickets first went on sale, are now selling out early. And “Hill of Youth” as well.
On the other hand, there are also popular time slots, so we still want to process the purchase of tickets on a first-come, first-served basis as quickly as possible as long as they are available. That is why I decided to write this article.
Before I go any further, please take a look at the following list of essential knowledge for applying for tickets to Ghibli Park.
Internatonal Tickets for Ghibli Park are fully reserved and first-come, first-served.
As you are probably already well aware, Internatonal Tickets for Ghibli Park are fully reserved and purchased on a first-come, first-served basis.
There are several time slots available, so you can apply for tickets for the date and time best suited to your travel plans.
Internatonal Tickets for Ghibli Park Now Available for Purchase in All Areas
Internatonal Tickets for areas other than the “Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse” area of Ghibli Park, which will be available for sale beginning with September 2023 admissions, can now also be purchased.
The “Dondoko Forest” and “Hill of Youth” areas are now available for purchase.
Tickets for the “Monoke Village(Mononoke no Sato)” area, which will be opened in the second phase of the park in November 2023 (reservations began in August of the same year), will also be available for purchase.
If you like “Princess Mononoke,” you may want to include this area on your list of possible sites for admission.
Information on the pre-opening phase of the park can be found on this website, if you would like to check it out.
As you can see above, the new “Valley of Witches” area will open on March 26, 2024.
Internatonal Tickets at Ghibli Park require SMS verification
Ghibli Park tickets require SMS verification on your smartphone.
You will need your email address and (later) cell phone number, including country code.
Ghibli Park tickets are sold on the 10th of every month for the next three months
Tickets for Ghibli Park for the next three months go on sale on the 10th of each month.
It is a little difficult to count, but on the 10th of the current month, you can make a reservation and purchase tickets for a date and time within that three-month period.
In our example, on the May 10 release date, you would apply for tickets from the 1st through the 31st of August.
The ticket applicant’s identity will be verified at the time of admission
When entering each area of Ghibli Park, you may be asked to identify yourself on your ticket.
Not everyone will be verified, but if the verification is done randomly and irregularly and the identity cannot be confirmed, the ticket may become invalid.
Purchase applications should be made by the person actually going to the Ghibli Park.
Ghibli Park Closure Dates for 2023 – early 2024
Although slightly different from tickets, we would like to provide you with some related information about the year-end and New Year holidays and the long closure of Ghibli Park in conjunction with the opening of the second phase of the park.
You probably know that Ghibli Park is closed every Tuesday.
In addition to this, we would like to inform you about the closing days from 2023 to March 2024, although this information is only for a limited period of time.
Closure dates from the end of 2023 to the beginning of 2024
In Japan, it is common for many companies and public organizations to take an extended vacation period over the year-end and New Year holidays, traditionally focused on returning home, and this holiday is emphasized.
Ghibli Park will not open like USJ or Disney Resort, partly because the operating entity is Aichi Prefecture, a municipality.
A year-end and New Year holidays were set for the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 with similar dates.

Ghibli Park Year-end and New Year holidays
Long-term closure in February and March 2024 (temporary)
Although a bit irregular, the park will be temporarily closed for an extended period of time in February and March 2024 for the purpose of opening the “Valley of Witches,” the second half of the second phase opening of Ghibli Park, and for overall park maintenance.
Please be especially careful if you are planning to visit Ghibli Park during this period.
