The elevator tower is the main flow line for visitors. The exterior of the existing facility was renovated with inspiration from the "imaginary scientific worldview of the late 19th century" as seen in the works of Studio Ghibli.

Ghibli Park (tickets limited to reservations) is set in Aichi Expo Park inheriting the theme and achievements of the e Expo 2005 Aichi to future generations. The project includes three areas that opened in November 2022: "Ghibli's Grand Warehouse", "Hill of Youth", and "Dondoko Forest."
"Ghibli's Grand Warehouse" is a “museum” under the Building Standards Act, converted from heated swimming pool. The roof and exterior walls of the existing building were kept, and an exhibition facility was added to the large space where the pool facility used to be, creating a space that resembles an exterior cityscape even though it is indoors. The "café building" which is attached to the building, has an exterior design in the motif of airplane wings, and uses riveted joints to connect steel trusses made of L-shaped angle steel.
The Elevator Tower at "Hill of Youth", which represents the world of Ghibli, is converted from the existing facility, by replacing the exterior materials and adding seismic reinforcement.
