QUICK ANSWER · AT A GLANCE
How do you reach Ghibli Park from Nagoya?
Travel toward Nagakute, Aichi, and use the Linimo line to Ai-Chikyuhaku Kinen Koen Station. Follow Exit 2 for Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park, where Ghibli Park is located. Allow extra time to walk between ticketed areas.
Ghibli Park is in Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park in Nagakute. The official rail route uses Linimo to Ai-Chikyuhaku Kinen Koen Station; the park is immediately outside Exit 2.
Travel toward Nagakute, not Tokyo
The easiest route depends on where you stay in the Nagoya area. Plan toward the eastern side of the Nagoya metropolitan area and the Linimo network. Timetables and transfer platforms can change, so check the actual departure station in a reliable transit app on the morning of travel.
Using the Linimo line
The official Ghibli Park directions direct visitors to Ai-Chikyuhaku Kinen Koen on the Linimo (Tobu Kyuryo Line). Exit 2 leads immediately to the park entrance area. Keep the Japanese station name saved so you can match platform signage.

Bus and car considerations
The park publishes bus options, including from the Nagoya area, but service schedules, boarding points and payment methods vary. For drivers, remember the park states it has no dedicated parking; public transport is recommended. Consult the official directions rather than assuming that a general map pin means parking is available at the entrance.
Leave time to walk
The five areas are spread across parkland. Build in rest breaks, check weather forecasts, and plan around any assigned Ghibli's Grand Warehouse time. An ambitious multi-area itinerary benefits from comfortable shoes.
