Overview
Opened in 2022 inside the Expo 2005 commemorative park (Moricoro Park) in Nagakute, this is a theme park you walk rather than ride: the indoor Grand Warehouse with movie sets under a false sky, Arrietty's oversized garden, the Valley of Witches where Howl's Moving Castle stands full scale, Dondoko Forest with Satsuki and Mei's house, the Hill of Youth (Whisper of the Heart), and Mononoke Village. Every area requires date-specific advance tickets — secure them from Korea before you fly.
💰 Tickets
O-Sanpo Day Pass adults JPY 1,500 weekdays / 2,000 holidays; Premium (with Grand Warehouse) JPY 3,500 / 4,000 — date-specific reservations only.

Weekdays 10:00-17:00; weekends/holidays 9:00-17:00 (closed Tuesdays)
🚇 Getting there
Take the Higashiyama subway line to Fujigaoka, transfer to the Linimo maglev to Aichikyuhakukinenkoen Station (about 50 minutes from Nagoya Station); direct buses also run from Oasis 21 in Sakae.
⏱️ How long to visit
About 5-6 hours — a full day.
🌅 Best time to visit
Aim for weekdays when tickets are gettable. Spring and autumn suit the outdoor areas; the Grand Warehouse saves rainy days.
Travel Tips
Tickets release monthly and weekends sell out fast; the O-Sanpo Day Pass Premium (includes the Grand Warehouse) is the best first-visit choice. Food inside is modest — a packed lunch works.
