Ghibli Park, Studio Ghibli's new theme park in Japan, has shared a series of images of the Castle in the Sky-style elevator tower entrance, which is already open to the public.
Ghibli Park's elevator tower will serve as one of the attraction's entrances. Studio Ghibli said the entrance is "based on the fantasy science world at the end of the 19th century, which became the model of the world of Castle in the Sky".
