#Tokyo Attractions
❤️ Grandpa Hayao Miyazaki’s fairy tale world is here! The Ghibli Museum is surrounded by greenery and is filled with stunning details, making you feel like you are right in the middle of an animation scene.
❤️ Tickets are only 1,000 yen, but reservations must be made in advance. All reservations are made online. Just go to the Lawson ticketing website and follow the steps. Due to the high popularity, reservations need to be made one week in advance. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. It is recommended that everyone set an alarm to avoid missing the ticket rush. The available sessions are currently from 10:00 to 17:00 from Monday to Friday and from 10:00 to 19:00 on weekends and holidays, but closed on Tuesdays.
✨ The Ghibli Museum in Mitaka has three floors and a roof garden. The basement is the central hall, the first floor is the exhibition area of Hayao Miyazaki's studio, the second floor is a merchandise store and children's play area, and the top floor is the sky garden area. Photography and eating are prohibited inside the museum, but you can take photos freely in the outdoor area.
✨ The Ghibli Museum displays the production process and manuscripts of each representative animation, as well as the development history of animated film screenings and the production process of the latest films. When we went there, we happened to catch the latest work, which is a super healing animated film about the adventures of a caterpillar (this is a movie that Ghibli does not show to the public, it is worth watching!). Be sure to line up half an hour before the movie starts, otherwise there will probably be no seats left.
✨Outside the museum, there are also must-visit Totoro ticket office, Castle in the Sky and the main entrance of the museum. You can buy some souvenirs at the exit of the third floor. The most collectible ones are animation films, and the pictures on the films are scenes from the animation. The clerk told me that these were recycled movie films and that once I bought them, they would no longer be available. I bought Howl's Moving Castle, which the clerk said might be one of the first films to sell out.
✨ The transportation is very convenient. You can take the JR Chuo Line from Shinjuku, Tokyo, and arrive at Mitaka Station in 20 minutes. The Ghibli Museum in Mitaka is located south of Inokashira Park in Mitaka City. It can be reached by taking a bus (about 5 minutes) from Kichijoji Station, or by walking about 15 minutes along the Tamagawa Aqueduct from the south exit of JR Mitaka Station. It is quite quick and convenient.
