Studio Ghibli Park Extends Screening of 'A Night in the Valley of Witches' to June 2027

Ghibli Park has announced an extended screening period for its newest animated short film, A Night in the Valley of Witches. The feature, which debuted at Cinema Orion inside the studio’s Grand Warehouse in July, will now remain on display through June 2027. This decision follows strong audience reception and provides additional time for visitors to view the exclusive title.
The short film is unique in that it is set within the park’s own Valley of Witches area, offering an immersive experience for attendees. While the museum in Tokyo and the park in Aichi Prefecture typically rotate their short film lineups monthly, this exception allows for a longer viewing window. The storyline follows a new park recruit who encounters mysterious magical events while repairing buildings, eventually discovering a senior colleague’s secret identity as a witch.
Special after-dark outdoor screenings are scheduled during Halloween, though these specific events are restricted to children. Regular showings continue at Cinema Orion, located near the themed area. Visitors must book tickets in advance, with reservations generally opening on the tenth of each month for visits two months later.
