In what will no doubt be a dream come true for many anime fans, Studio Ghibli is getting its own theme park in Japan. The opening is now scheduled for sometime in 2022 on a 200-hectare plot of land in Nagoya, and concept art has surfaced to provide an idea of what the experience could be like.
Visitors can look forward to a mix of natural surroundings and areas based on classic Studio Ghibli anime films, from Kiki’s Delivery Service to Princess Mononoke and beyond. Check out a few pieces of sample art below.

The main gate will feature a recreation of the antique shop from Whisper of the Heart and structures similar to those in Howl’s Moving Castle.
