[Soranews 24](https://soranews24.com/2022/04/29/studio-ghibli-theme-park-announces-ticket-prices-and-reservation-policy/) has information on the ticket prices and entry requirements to the new park:
>Ghibli Park is being built as a collection of separate sections within the preexisting Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park. The first three to open to the public will be the museum-like Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse, Dondoko Forest (site of sisters Mei and Satsuki’s house from My Neighbor Totoro), and the Hill of Youth (with recreated locations from Whisper of the Heart and The Cat Returns). Tickets to each will be sold separately, with the breakdown as follows.
>**Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse (weekdays)**
>- Adults: 2,000 yen (US$16)
>- Children (4 years old-end of elementary school): 1,000 yen
>**Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse (weekends, holidays)**
>- Adults: 2,500 yen (US$16)
>- Children: 1,250 yen
>**Dondoko Forest**
>- Adults: 1,000 yen
>- Children: 500 yen
>**Hill of Youth**
>- Adults: 1,000 yen
>- Children: 500 yen
>No discounted combo tickets have been announced, meaning that if you want to see everything, it’s going to cost adults 4,000 yen on weekdays or 4,500 on weekends and holidays, and kids between 4 and 12 (elementary school in Japan goes up to the sixth grade) 2,000 yen during the week or 2,250 yen on weekends/holidays. Admission for children 3 and younger is free.
>In addition, Ghibli Park is taking a page from the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo’s operating procedure and requiring that tickets be purchased in advance via an online reservation system. As with the Ghibli Museum, your Ghibli Park ticket will be valid only on the date your reservation is for, and will also have a specific time at which you can enter the Ghibli Park area. Once you’re inside you can stay as long as you like, at least until closing, which is 5 p.m. (the park will open at 10 a.m. on weekdays and one hour earlier on weekends/holidays).
The opening date is November 1st, 2022. The article also notes that more expansions are forthcoming, and the park will not be completely finished for awhile yet.

I do hope Japan will open when the park will be finished
So is this on the same site as the Ghibli museum?
Finally!!
ugh, i hate that ticketing model. just have the park entrance cover everything. stop nickel and diming for every individual section.
This is amazing!
That’s so cool, I would love to go for a day trip there or something
