Just wanted to sit down and have something light to snack on. This is a nice place with very reasonable prices. Line was long and service not fast, but I think it’s quite ok. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the good. It’s pretty good for a theme park!

I got the ketchup spaghetti sandwich for ¥650 because it seemed interesting. I was worried I wouldn’t like it but really enjoyed it! The price seems reasonable considering it’s one of the only places to eat without leaving the Ghibli Warehouse. The character flags are also so cute!!

This spot is a lovely little stop during your visit to Ghibli Park. It does get quite crowded, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but it's definitely worth it! The food is fantastic, with a great selection of sandwiches and delicious pastries to choose from. Our food was served quickly, which was a pleasant surprise given the number of people there. The atmosphere was also enjoyable — despite the crowd, it wasn’t too noisy, making for a nice, relaxed dining experience. Overall, it was a great place to grab a bite and take a break during the day!

I didn’t eat in the restaurant indoors, but I ate the ice cream at the stand outside. I ordered chocolate miso and salted milk, which were both delicious. The chocolate miso doesn’t have a strong miso flavour; it’s basically the chocolate version of salted caramel, where it’s a little salty, and the salt cuts through the cloyingly sweet chocolate.

An exquisitely designed airship-themed cafe mostly serving focaccia pizza slices and french bread sandwiches. (Get the miso katsu cutlet pizza, seriously). Line moved fast even at 12:45 on a brutally rainy day. Tap water is free, unlike what some on here have said (??) - you just have to ask at the counter. Nice espresso drinks. The Ghibli Park map calls this "Transcontinental Flight Cafe".
