FAQs
Does Studio Ghibli Have An Official Store?
Studio Ghibli does have an official merch store, but it can be hard to get that officially licensed merchandise in North America as these shops are only located in Japan. The store chain is called Donguri Sora, and though they don't ship internationally, you can still get their official merch through Neokyo, a Japanese shopping proxy that ships to North America.
Does Disney Sell Studio Ghibli Merch?
Since Disney owns the rights to many of the Studio Ghibli movies, they do have some official Ghibli merch available, but only in very specific locations. The only place you can find Ghibli merch at Disney is at the Japan Pavilion at Epcot in Disney World in Florida. Disneyland does not have the Ghibli merch available. Otherwise, stores like Hot Topic often sell Ghibli merch, as well.
