The highly anticipated "Studio Ghibli's Three-Dimensional Structures Exhibition" is set to take place from May 27 to September 23, 2025, at the Terada Warehouse B&C HALL/E HALL in Tennozu, Tokyo. This exhibition, marking its return to Tokyo after 22 years, is a celebration of the beloved works from Studio Ghibli, renowned worldwide for their captivating storytelling and artistic brilliance.
Originating as a full-scale Studio Ghibli exhibition back in 2003, the event has evolved significantly and aims to showcase famous scenes from various Ghibli films through impressive three-dimensional models. In doing so, it seeks to emphasize the collaborative efforts of overseas partners who have played a vital role in disseminating Ghibli's treasured works across more than 80 countries and regions.
Among the highlights of the exhibition is the iconic seaplane Savoia S-21 from the film "Porco Rosso." Created with the imaginative concept of "what if it actually existed?" this stunning model was crafted under the guidance of special effects expert Hiroshi Ohara. Visitors will be treated to an immersive experience, as the model will be displayed in a setting reminiscent of the film’s Piaggio Company complete with a picturesque canal backdrop.
Additionally, attendees can look forward to a special screening of the short film "Imaginary Flying Machines" (2002), directed by Hayao Miyazaki. This film, specifically created for the Ghibli Museum’s planning exhibition, captures the dreams of individuals who longed for flight, beautifully aligning with the exhibition's theme of "Hot Wind That Crossed the Sea."
For fans looking to indulge in a unique culinary experience, a themed dish known as "That Ham Ramen" will be available at the nearby waterfront facility, T-LOTUS M. This dish gained popularity during the "Friday Road Show and Ghibli Exhibition" two years ago and promises to be a delightful treat for visitors once again. Purchasing a special ticket grants access to enjoy this dish alongside the exhibition experience.
In conjunction with the exhibition, various ticket packages are being offered, including set tickets for visits to the Ghibli Museum and hotel accommodation plans. These options cater to visitors seeking a more comprehensive experience, further encouraging attendance.
