Performances will take place several times an hour at Howl's Castle, where the castle will move and emit smoke, and visitors can also enter to see the perfectly restored character rooms. The park's amusement rides will feature a carousel decorated with vehicles from Ghibli works and a flying amusement ride created from the flying machines that appeared in the films.
