More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step off a morning Shinkansen with the rhythm of wheels fading and find yourself at the gated edges of Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park — the landscape opening like a page from a storybook. The walk from the bus stop to Ghibli Park threads across wide lawns, ponds that reflect low clouds, and wooded paths that seem to hush before the park’s recreated film-world scenes.
