On that day, the real-world Catbus made its debut, transporting visitors around the grounds of Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park, the public park inside which the disconnected sections of the Ghibli Park anime theme park are located.
The visitor who wanted to ride the Catbus had brought no such enclosure of their own, and the Catbus isn’t equipped with any such compartment either.
March 16 was a very exciting day for fans of Studio Ghibli.
“We deeply apologize to the visitor who was not allowed [to board the Catbus].”
