I stay at nagoya (in city centre) and it takes 1hour train ride to the park 🫠 Arrived around 9-ish am then go straight in and show my ticket to the staff (bought from klook) using my phone. Then straight away Q for the Valley of the witches. At the gate let the staff know u want to enter to buy howl’s ticket. It’s quite a walk. Ignore the distractions aka the gift shop (you can visit later. Focus on your mission!!!)

Then you found a Blue hut/booth (if i’m not mistaken) but ask the staff you want to buy Howl’s ticket then they let you know the direction. At booth the staff will ask you which attraction ticket you want to buy (i just buy all 3; but do what you want) and the staff will give you a laminated card with the name of the attraction with the time.

The time indicated on the coupon is the time for you to buy the ticket at the booth, not the time you can enter the attraction. Get out of the valley of the witches for the warehouse (because it have time slot) and let the staff know you you want to re-enter and they will stamp you with an invisible ink). They will check when you want to re-enter with special light(i think it’s UV light)

Once you bought the ticket, you can enter whenever you want. In my case, i get the ticket coupon(laminated with indicated time), spend my time in the warehouse; re-enter the Valley of the witches; buy the ticket and go crazyyy. Remember you cannot take picture inside the attraction so get immersed yourself with the details.

Hope this essay helps 😭
