New Studio Ghibli anime gets extended run at the only cinema in Japan where it’s being shown

If you’re planning a trip to Japan soon, you’ll have a better chance of seeing A Night in the Valley of Witches. Studio Ghibli is world-famous for its feature-length anime movies, but what a lot of fans don’t know is that the studio has a roster of animated shorts that are just as captivating. These […]

<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">If you’re planning a trip to Japan soon, you’ll have a better chance of seeing A Night in the Valley of Witches.</span></strong></p>
<p><span id="more-747674"></span></p>
<p><strong>Studio Ghibli</strong> is world-famous for its feature-length anime movies, but what a lot of fans don’t know is that <strong>the studio has a roster of animated shorts that are just as captivating</strong>. These rare beauties are like hidden gems for Ghibli hunters, as they’re screened at just two places in the world — the <strong>Ghibli Museum in Tokyo</strong> and <strong>Ghibli Park in Aichi Prefecture</strong>. Making them even more of a rarity is the fact that the museum and park screen the shorts one at a time, with the line-up usually changing monthly.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">▼ <em>My Neighbour Totoro</em> sequel <a href="https://soranews24.com/2017/10/11/totoro-has-a-sequel-thousands-of-japanese-twitter-users-shocked-to-learn-of-ghibli-follow-up/"><em>Mei and the Kittenbus</em></a> is one such short film.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747983" height="346" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Studio-Ghibli-Park-new-anime-Valley-of-Witches-movie-film-cinema-Goro-Miyazaki-travel-Aichi-news-5.jpeg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>Now, though, Ghibli Park is making an exception to the rule, by extending the screening period for the studio’s newest short, <strong>A Night in the Valley of Witches</strong>, which debuted at Cinema Orion inside Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse in July. The movie has been so well-received that the park now says it’s decided to extend the run right through to June 2027, giving fans more time to view this newest Ghibli gem.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747980" height="346" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Studio-Ghibli-Park-new-anime-Valley-of-Witches-movie-film-cinema-Goro-Miyazaki-travel-Aichi-news-1.jpeg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>Although this particular film is exclusive to Ghibli Park, there really is no better place in the world to see it, as the storyline is set in the park’s own <a href="https://soranews24.com/2024/03/01/ghibli-park-opens-final-area-to-first-visitors-with-stunning-new-attractions-and-shops-%e3%80%90videos%e3%80%91/"><strong>Valley of Witches area</strong></a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">▼ The area honours Ghibli’s witchy characters with buildings like the bakery from <strong>Kiki’s Delivery Service</strong>.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747982" height="427" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Studio-Ghibli-Park-new-anime-Valley-of-Witches-movie-film-cinema-Goro-Miyazaki-travel-Aichi-news-3.jpeg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>According to the synopsis, <em>A Night in the Valley of Witches</em> follows the story of a new recruit at the park, who receives a surprising number of requests to repair numerous buildings on the grounds. While carrying out the repairs, a number of odd things occur – a fireplace comes alight on its own and water gushes spontaneously from the taps.</p>
<p>Though he’s shaken by what’s going on, one of his senior colleagues, Kikue, dismisses his concerns, until one night at midnight, after the park closes, he heads to the Valley of Witches, where he finds Kikue clad in a cape. Kikue reveals herself to be a witch and then chants a spell, setting the stage for some mysterious magic…</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747981" height="905" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Studio-Ghibli-Park-new-anime-Valley-of-Witches-movie-film-cinema-Goro-Miyazaki-travel-Aichi-news-2.jpeg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>With Valley of the Witches being a real-life area of the park, watching the film in this setting is a real treat for fans, especially at Halloween, when there will be a <a href="https://soranews24.com/2026/09/10/how-to-watch-studio-ghiblis-new-anime-in-japan-with-a-special-after-dark-outdoor-screening-for-halloween/">special after-dark outdoor screening of the film within the area</a>. Outside of the special Halloween event, which is a children-only affair, the screening will take place at Cinema Orion, which isn’t too far from the Valley of Witches, so you’ll still be immersed in the world of Ghibli while you watch it.</p>
<p>The extended run is welcome news for Ghibli fans, because the additional time gives visitors more chance of catching the film while planning their trips. Ghibli Park tickets must be booked in advance, with reservations generally opening at 2 p.m. on the 10th of each month for visits two months later. Tickets are still expected to be in high demand, though, so you’ll want to book early to make sure you don’t miss the run, although our fingers are firmly crossed that they might consider extending it even further, to give even more fans the chance to see it.</p>

Flying Mud Boat teahouse is a hidden gem in Japan that boggles the mind

This site takes traditional architecture to new heights, like a Ghibli world come to life. We’re always on the hunt for hidden gems and little-known sights in Japan, so when we heard about a teahouse that was suspended in the air, we immediately sent our reporter Natsuno Futon over to Nagano Prefecture to check it […]

<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747794" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-4-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">This site takes traditional architecture to new heights, like a Ghibli world come to life.</span></strong></p>
<p><span id="more-747766"></span></p>
<p>We’re always on the hunt for hidden gems and little-known sights in Japan, so when we heard about a<strong> teahouse that was suspended in the air</strong>, we immediately sent our reporter Natsuno Futon over to Nagano Prefecture to check it out.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747803" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-19.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>Called the “<strong>Flying Mud Boat</strong>”, the unusual structure is tucked away in Chino City, on a plot of land that houses two other equally charming teahouses. The setting is so whimsical that <strong>it feels like a Ghibli world come to life</strong>, with calming hues and natural materials helping the buildings blend into the surrounding greenery.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">▼ The first sight to greet you is a boat-like object that literally hangs in the air.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747792" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-14-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>This is <strong>Sora Tobu Dorobune</strong>, which translates as <strong>Flying Mud Boat</strong>, and it was designed by architect <strong>Terunobu Fujimori</strong>.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747786" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-1-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>Ever since his student days, Fujimori had always wanted to build something that floated in midair, and he finally got the chance to bring the idea to life when he created the Flying Mud Boat in 2010 to coincide with an exhibition.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747798" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-5-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>From a distance, the architectural creation looks like it’s floating, but up close you can appreciate all the finer details, including the wire structure that holds it in place.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747799" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-2-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">▼ On one side there are doors, which act as a small entrance into the structure.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747772" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-6.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>The interior isn’t normally open to the public, but during special guided tours, a ladder is used so people can climb up to the boat and crawl inside.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">▼ A beautiful spot for a teahouse.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747796" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-3-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>As it turns out, the Flying Mud Boat isn’t the only unusual building in the area, as there are several other distinctive structures nearby, als0 designed by Fujimori.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747802" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-8-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>One of these structures is a teahouse, cutely named <strong>Takasugian</strong>, which roughly translates as “<strong>Too-High Teahouse</strong>”.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747800" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-9-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">▼ Nestled in amongst the treetops, this is another functioning teahouse in a dream setting.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747789" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-12-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /><br />
This structure sits way above ground, perched atop two trees in such a whimsical manner that you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the world of Studio Ghibli.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747804" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-7-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /><br />
Ghibli’s animated feature movies are filled with architectural wonders that seem to defy all the rules, and this structure brings the same sort of anime wizardry to life in the real world. Despite the precarious look of it, the teahouse is structurally sound, but it’s located so high up that even looking at it from ground level is enough to make your heart skip a beat.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">▼ Takasugi-an was once chosen by TIME magazine as one of the “Top 10 Most Dangerous Buildings in the World”, with the Leaning Tower of Pisa taking first place.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747787" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-10-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>From a teahouse that’s too high comes one that’s too low, with the next structure being partly built underground.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747790" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-13-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>Called <strong>Hikusugian</strong> , or “<strong>Too-Low Teahouse</strong>”, this is the complete opposite of Takasugian, literally sitting in its shadow.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747788" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-11-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>Though none of the buildings were open when Natsuno visited, just seeing them was enough to spark a sense of awe inside of her. It also opened her eyes to what’s possible outside of traditional norms.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747791" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-15-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>There’s also a community center designed by Fujimori in the vicinity, which puts his creative genius on full display.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747793" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-17-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747795" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-16-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /><br />
<img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-747797" height="480" src="https://soranews24.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/10/Flying-Mud-Boat-Teahouse-Japan-travel-unique-tourist-sites-hidden-buildings-off-the-beaten-track-architecture-daytrip-Chino-Nagano-Prefecture-Fujimori-Terunobu-18-1.jpg?w=640" width="640" /></p>
<p>From a teahouse that’s high up, to another down low, and then one suspended in the air – who knew teahouses could be so wonderfully unconventional? It’s a truly fascinating site that deserves to be more well-known, so next time you’re looking to enjoy some quiet time off the beaten path in Japan, be sure to put the Flying Mud Boat on your calendar.</p>

I splurged and bought myself a set of alcohol markers. They are fun! I’m gearing up for a Studio Ghibli vs Pixar art challenge, so I added 5 more art cards to two I’d done with acrylic paint markers. I am still figuring out the alcohol markers, but I’m definitely a fan. #Art #AcrylicPainting #Ghibli #Artwork

7 Art cards, 2.5” x 3.5”. They are depicting characters from Studio Ghibli movies, clockwise from upper left-
Heen from Howl’s Moving Castle
Mousse and Bird from Spirited Away
Ponyo from Ponyo
Mei from My Neighbor Totoro
Calcifer from Howl’s Moving Castle
Turnip Head from Howl’s Moving Castle
Forest sports from Princess Mononoke

I don’t draw fanart often because I don’t do the characters justice but I’m very happy of how these three turned out :D

Jau! In #Taichung gibt es tatsaechlich diese #Totoro Bushaltestelle 😍

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag. Alles wird gut! 🖖

#ghibli #noface #taiwan

Eine liebevoll gestaltete Nachbildung einer Bushaltestellen-Szene mit Charakteren aus Studio Ghibli Filmen vor einer dichten, grünen Pflanzenkulisse. Links steht eine große, graue Totoro-Figur, die einen kleinen Regenschirm hält. Rechts daneben sitzt das schwarz verhüllte Ohngesicht (No-Face) still auf einer roten Bank. Die Rückwand der Bank ist so bemalt, dass sie an Zugfenster erinnert, durch die man blauen Himmel und weiße Wolken sieht. Am linken Bildrand steht zudem ein Haltestellenschild, und am Boden sind kleinere Totoro-Figuren zu entdecken.

Did this excellent (as usual) tutorial by good olde Grant Abbitt* on modelling a lowpoly #deer in #Blender and then decided to do a kinda #Ghibli / #Mononoke #winter scene with it and landed on this infinite loop.

Looks like Studio Ghibli and a whole host of Japanese publishers are *not* feeling the AI training vibes. They're telling OpenAI to stop using their work without permission. That "ask for forgiveness" strategy might need a re-think, eh? What's your take on AI training on copyrighted content?

Studio Ghibli and other Japanese publishers want OpenAI to stop training on their work | TechCrunch

OpenAI's approach to working with copyrighted content is to ask forgiveness, not permission.
