A Major Collaboration from Studio Ghibli and TOHO Cinemas: A Special Poster Prepared for Nagoya's New Favorite!
The giant of the Japanese animation world, Studio Ghibli, is here with a new project that will excite its fans! The studio has announced a special collaboration with TOHO Cinemas Nagoya Sakae, which is preparing to open its doors in Aichi Prefecture on June 11, 2026. The most striking part of this partnership is a massive commemorative poster that brings together the studio's most beloved characters.
This special poster features many familiar faces, from the adorable spirit Totoro of My Neighbor Totoro to the mysterious No-Face (Kaonashi) from Spirited Away. Since Aichi Prefecture is already home to Ghibli Park in the city of Nagakute, this collaboration holds a special meaning for both local residents and tourists. The new cinema complex will be located within The Landmark Nagoya Sakae building, rising in the heart of Nagoya, Sakae, and will become one of the region's new cultural destinations.
The bond between Studio Ghibli and TOHO actually dates back a long time. TOHO has always handled the Japanese distribution of the masterpieces of the studio founded by Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, such as Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, and most recently, the Oscar-winning The Boy and the Heron. This new collaboration is seen as the latest and most colorful link in the unshakable partnership between these two giants.
The upcoming TOHO Cinemas Nagoya Sakae will impress not only with this poster but also with its technical capabilities. The cinema, which will have 10 screens and a capacity of 1,655 seats, will feature IMAX Laser, Premium Theater, and Goon (Roaring) cinema technologies, the latter being a first in the region where you can feel the power of sound to your core. For Ghibli fans, this new venue seems to be the perfect address to experience the studio's magical world in the highest quality.
If your path crosses with Nagoya in June, don't forget to stop by TOHO Cinemas to see this special poster and breathe in this atmosphere filled with Ghibli characters. Who knows, maybe you will have the chance to watch the next Ghibli masterpiece in this magnificent theater!
