It’s an experience for all those who love Ghibli. You MUST buy tickets in advance, either online (which then show up in an app that you have to download, requiring a Japanese phone number, or you can choose to pick up the ticket at a Lawson) or through a Lawson convenience store. The main building is whimsical inside, but no photos are allowed, which is a massive shame. You’re only allowed to take photos outside. Upon entry, you’re provided with one ticket (per person) that features a random clip of a scene from a Ghibli movie (see photo), which you use as a ticket for the mini film theatre inside the main building. The short films are rotated throughout the year, and currently they have 10 short films. There is also a small exhibit that rotates their display. This ensures people return. There is a small cafe to the side of the main building, with a limited menu to satisfy hunger, along with an ice cream stand to one side. There’s nothing on the menu to cater for those with dietary restrictions, so make sure you bring your own food if you do have concerns in this area.

Loved every bit of this museum. I recommend going during a weekday as it's much less crowded, buy tickets in advance using the Lawson Ticket app online! Admission includes an exclusive short film and the museum is filled with stunning original drawings from Miyazaki. Very much worth the ¥1,000 price. The cafe is pretty average and doesn't have anything special. The gift shop is on the top floor as well as the big cat bus that only small children are allowed to play in. The garden on the roof is the best part cause you can take photos here (no photos allowed inside but anywhere outside is fine)! This place is a must see for any Ghibli fan!

(Translated by Google) If you expect too much, you will be betrayed, so be careful. The hall is small and there are few things to see. It was impressive that the white foreign guests who passed each other complained in English that "there is little to see". The crowded people are crowded in the small hall, and the congestion frequency is amazing (in front of ✳︎ Corona). Should we reduce the number of visitors because it is a reservation system? Especially the restaurant in the hall has to wait for a long time from before noon. If the purpose is a restaurant, you should enter at the same time as the opening. Since the information display in the hall is only written in Japanese, it may be a little unfriendly to foreign tourists. I'd like you to write it in English, but Hayao Miyazaki seems to be obsessed with Japanese notation, so it can't be helped. (Original) 期待し過ぎると裏切られるので注意、館内は狭くて見どころは少ない。すれ違った白人の外人客が「見るものが少ない」と英語で文句を言い合っていたのが印象的だった。 狭い館内にお客がひしめき合っていて混雑度数が半端なく凄い(✳︎コロナ前)。 予約制なのだから入場者を減らすべきでは？ 特に館内レストランは昼前から長時間待たされる。もしレストランが目的ならば開館と同時に入店したほうがいいだろう。 館内の案内表示が日本語表記だけなので外国人観光客にはすこし不親切ではないだろうか。英語併記にしてあげて欲しい気もするが、宮崎駿は日本語表記に拘っているらしいので仕方ない。

If you are a fan of Ghibli, you must come visit here. It is really hard to get the ticket. However, it is totally worth trying hard to get one. It is not a big place to enjoy. Small but overwhelming. You can watch a special Ghibli video for around 15 minutes. You can buy a limited version of Ghibli goods. Also, learning about how anime is being made. Things to learn, things to buy, things to eat, and things to be memorable.

Before you can even make it here, you got to queue up online for the tickets. It is release on the 10th of every month for the next month ahead. Tip : Standby 2 credit cards (do not use debit cards) the min you get into the queue list go the available day and time and just book it! Do not spend too much time “choosing” coz by the time you are done, all the tickets will be sold out. The Museum itself is amazing. It’s like a trip down the memory lane. It build it as close as they can to the movie. No pictures indoor, only outdoor. Once you are in, they don’t chase you out. Take your time to visit the gift shop and also the cafe to have a meal. Climb the spiral steps, take both the special lifts, walk about and have a great time!

The museum is exciting to explore, but is perhaps catered solely towards hardcore Ghibli fans, which is unfortunate for everyone else. Most rooms are decorated simply with sketches and drawings. All text is exclusively Japanese, making it difficult for foreigners to traverse the exhibitions. The food is delicious, but will require a prolonged wait before ordering. I recommend watching the movie, screened only at the museum.

¥1,000 admission; advanced reservation required. Tickets are open for sale two weeks before the actual date. A valid local mobile phone number is required to reserve tickets, which can be a challenge for foreign visitors. Visitors must also display the e-tickets via a specified mobile app (Lawson Ticket). Weekend tickets are sold out very quickly. Always check the official website for schedule before visiting; the museum is closed in November and December for maintenance annually. Must plan ahead to visit! No photos / videos are allowed inside the museum; displays and short film shown are available in Japanese only. Average wait time for the cafe is around 30 - 80 minutes. If you are not a huge fan of Ghibli films this might not be worth the effort...

The Ghibli Museum is simply the most wonderful, magical place. I've visited twice now and the sense of wonder I feel walking around this place never ends! I simply love it 💖💖💖 Photography is prohibited inside the building, which is a good thing because it allows you to be completely in the moment and experience the place with no distractions, however you can take photos outside the building and on the roof! There are various parts of this museum to explore including two permanent exhibitions, one temporary exhibition, a children's play area with a giant Cat Bus, a rooftop garden featuring the famous Laputa Robot and some other wonderful things, a cinema, two shops, a cafe, and lots of little walkways, miniature doors, spiral staircase each with their own little displays, wall art, hidden things to find. It's truly magical! ✨💖👧🏼👧🏻🌸🌳🦋 The cinema shows, on rotation throughout the year, the Ghibli Short films which can only be viewed at either Ghibli Museum or Ghibli Park in Nagoya. These films cannot be viewed anywhere else! I've seen three of them and each one is incredible, beautiful and simply wonderful! There are two shops, one sells a massive range of Ghibli Merchandise, some of it exclusive to the Ghibli Museum... the range is amazing and you'll definitely leave with lots of items to take home! The other shop sells books, including every Ghibli related book available including some I believe you can only get at the Museum, it also sells other books too each one beautiful! There are coin lockers available in the courtyard, they cost ¥100 which is refunded when you unlock and collect your items. There are toilets and baby changing facilities on each floor, and disabled access to all areas via an elevator, except for the roof which is only accessible through a spiral staircase. The staff here are simply wonderful, each one is so friendly, helpful and kind. I was wearing my Ghibli Hat, a hat I've decorated with various Ghibli pins... So many staff members complimented me on it which was lovely and made me feel that the staff really care. There is an on-site Cafe called Straw Hat Cafe, it serves a number of delicious menu items, I'd highly recommend the Blue Sky Ice Cream Soda! It can get a little busy around 12 and 1pm, so perhaps having a slightly early or slightly late lunch is a good idea as you'll have to wait less and it'll be easier to get a table. Tickets must be bought in advance! They sell out fast so make sure you allow yourself a few date options in case your first choice is sold out. If possible, I'd recommend booking the 10am time slot for entry, that way you have all day to wander around and explore the museum, and also it is quieter first thing and gets busier as the day goes on. All in all, this place is a must for any Ghibli fans visiting Japan! You will not be disappointed - it's simply wonderful 💖👧🏼👧🏻🌸🌳✨🐾🐱💎🌊🗻🎨🎶😍💖💖💖

The Ghibli Museum was a beautiful work of art! This museum was full of references to the amazing Ghibli movies, and it was filled with amazing exhibits. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed inside, but all of the displays were truly out of this world. One of the best parts was watching a random short film. We watched A Sumo Wrestler’s Tail, which I highly recommend for its beautiful animation and fun story. Just seeing a glimpse into the filmography of these pieces was incredible. We were also fortunate enough to see some of the emerging cherry blossoms in the neighboring park. Do not miss out on this fabulous museum!

Late post. I visited Ghibli Museum in April 2018, it’s a must go place for Ghibli fans! And even if you only watch a few of their works, it’s still a great place to visit. There’s a short animation screening that changes every few months and I heard it’s only shown in the museum. There’s also souvenir shop and cafe within the vicinity. There’s also yellow Ghibli bus going to the museum from Mitaka station. Though getting the tickets to the museum were not easy and straightforward for foreigners, but it’s worth it! You need to pick a time slot so I think they limit the number of visitors per time slot to avoid over crowding the place. During my visit, there were a lot of people but there was comfortable space between people.

It's good for kids and adults too. You can see old Ghibli movies shots. There is a cafe inside with a limited menu. Recommended to take your own food and drinks. You are allowed to eat and drink only in designated place. You can't take pics inside but you are allowed to click pics outside. It's crowded as we visited on weekends. IMP: they check your ID card and name on your tickets. You can get a bus to mitaka station just outside the play area.

YESSSSS. You gotta go. 行きましょう. Bring your friends. Bring your relatives. Bring your dog. Bring your dog's relatives. Doesn't matter if they think "Ghibli" is the name of a dessert-- they will still have a good time. It's 2022, so tickets are only available online, and can be a little tricky to buy. But they're only ¥1000 and you can stay until closing. Magical. I've been at least 7 times. This is normal. Everything is normal. I love Ghibli.

I visited the Ghibli museum with my husband, and it was somewhat enjoyable. It's better to visit in the morning, because our afternoon was reservation was extremely crowded and humid, where the stairs and elevators were usually backed up. There was one exhibit that had a full line-up where we waited over 20 minutes just to see a unique film display. We ended up leaving the line to skip that, along with several other visitors too. I love studio Ghibli and grew up watching a lot of their movies. But overall, the museum catered more towards youths and families. My husband thinks it's a tourist trap, and I think that I would have enjoyed it when I was 15 or more years younger. The museum is 3 floors (4 if you count the rooftop with the robot), and we covered all of it plus, the straw hat cafe within an hour. This included the one time short-film you can watch at the theatre which is a Ghibli museum original. Overall, the museum is cute and there's a gift shop that sells original Ghibli products. The film ticket souvenirs are cute, too. Besides that, I would not visit again unless kids are involved. Definitely a good place for families and die-hard Ghibli studio fans though!

Beautiful museum and a must visit for Ghibli fan!! Do keep in mind that all admission is by advance reservation only. No ticket purchase can be made on the spot. We purchased the tickets online (LAWSON TICKET). Tickets go on sale from 10:00 (Japan time) on the 10th of each month for the following month. We almost couldn't get the tickets because the tickets on certain time of entry were sold out very fast (within minutes).

It was such a treat to visit this place! Oh God, I don't know where to begin.. There is something magical about anything related to Ghibli. The fact that we had the opportunity to book the tickets was amazingly and made the experience extra special! As you know, you need to book tickets 3 months in advance! And we were able to buy them only 2 months before, which was extremely hard. We couldn't take photos inside the exhibitions as it wasn't allowed, but that made it even magical because you can't expect what you'll see.. The museum is 3 floors, 3 exhibitions, 2 shops, a cafe, and a roof that has the robot from the movie Castle in the Sky, which you can reach when climbing a ladder inside a tower covered with plants. There is also a unique, peaceful garden downstairs. You can't enter the museum before your booked time, so make sure to give yourself 3 -4 hours to enjoy all details without rushing it as the museum will close at 5 pm. It was super easy to get to the museum from Mitaka Station. You'll find a bus stop for Ghibli and a themed bus as well (Stop #9). When you're done, don't leave! Explore the peaceful park around the museum, it's has a lake with swan boats, cafes, and more. There is also a near street with vintage clothing shops.

We couldn’t take the photos inside. But it was a fun day. There are many valuable collections that reflect the history of creating Ghibli animation films inside. The museum is a little smaller than we expected but may be this is because of the crowd. Overall, this museum may not be as big as other museums, I was satisfied because I could see the amazing processes of creating ghibli animation films and I could feel how hard they worked for the details of each frame. Just my personal comment, great works only come from hardworking, continuous progresses and concentration.

There’s not much to do, also photos aren’t allowed inside the museum. But maybe some fans would really enjoy the place. It’s a bit hard to appreciate the museum especially with the number of tourists inside since the building itself is a bit smaller than expected. Wish they would add in more character decorated food on their menu as well. Overall, it was an ok experience. But not sure if I can recommend.

Ghibli Museum was a great experience. You can see how the films were made. We went on the weekend so it was extremely crowded. You will have to buy the tickets a week in advance, and they sold out quickly. You are not allowed to take photos in the museum. The only part I didn't enjoy was it was too crowded with many children running around and screaming, which makes it exhausting to navigate. You can only buy drinks from a cafe if you are thirsty, so I recommend bringing your water bottle with you to the museum.

It was amazing to visit the Ghibli museum. It's a childhood thing. Love all the Hayao Miyazaki movies and Joe Hisaishi's music! Getting the ticket was quite a task. Also too bad that you're not allowed to take any pictures inside the museum.

This is my seventh time here and it is invariably wonderful. The experience of watching the short film is terrific; it would be worth coming just for that. The only thing I didn't like this time is the Cafe: the quality of the food, especially sweets, has dramatically declined, and that's a real shame. Still, 5 stars well deserved! WARNING. This place is a real Museum, it's not Disneyland, so all you people who say "there's not much to do, there's not much to see...", well, take a walk!

(Translated by Google) I visited with my parents once when I was young, and went with my friends the second time. Though the impressions are the same, what looks like changes. I'm looking forward to seeing it when I go there again. (Original) 幼い頃一度親と訪問して、二度目は友人と行きました。印象は同じなのに見えるものは変わる。もう一度行く頃にはどんな風に目に映るのか楽しみです。

(Translated by Google) I grew up watching Ghibli, so I've always wanted to come! Corona measures are quite thorough, but instead of asking the visitors to avoid overdoing it, the response was to disinfect the handrails that the visitors touch with a short frequency. There are many exhibitions related to animation, and although the museum is not very large, I enjoyed it for more than 2 hours. The straw hat of the adjacent cafe did not sell alcohol as a measure against corona, but the barley latte was sweet and fragrant. (Original) ジブリを見て育ったのでずっと来たかった！コロナ対策がかなり徹底されているが、やり過ぎないために入館者にお願いするのではなく、入館者が触る手すりを短い頻度で消毒をするという対応だった。 アニメーションに関連する展示がたくさんあり、美術館の中はけして広くはないけど、たっぷり2時間以上楽しめてしまった。 隣接のカフェの麦わら帽子は、アルコールの販売はコロナ対策でしていなかったが、麦のカフェラテが甘くて香ばしい味わいが美味しかった。

The museum is quite smaller than expected. There are a lot of drawings and art of Ghibli movies. Some iconic character statues too. We arrived an hour early (according to the Lawson site) but was asked to go in 5 minutes before entry time. Wasn't allow to go inside the museum at first because my name wasn't on the ticket. So, if you asked for a Japanese friend to buy the tickets, make sure to have their ID picture with you. My Japanese friend was out of town doing work so they couldn't pick up my phone call. Had to show some personal conversation (which include purchase receipt email) just to "proof" we were really friends. I was a bit upset because it took half an hour to settle this issue although the physical tickets were in my hand inside the Lawson envelope.

Really cute museum! It’s quite small but the exhibits are so well thought out and detailed. As a Ghibli fan it was so awesome to see so many intricate references and objects placed throughout - even the building itself if so quaintly Ghibli themed; the non-Ghibli fans I went with also found it just as cool. Make sure to catch the exclusive film they show in the theatre, they are currently showing ‘Looking for a Home’ and it’s such a lovely little film. The gift shops are also great with many Ghibli themed souvenirs to take home. All the staff were so lovely and helpful and the overall atmosphere was impeccable. The cafe was also themed in a nice subtle way and the food was good and not overly overpriced! If you have more time do have a walk around the surrounding park, it’s great for a picnic. Buy tickets in advance!! And do note you cannot take pictures inside.

Photos inside not being allowed was the most annoying part, but overall an amazing experience. Definitely worth it. Need to buy tickets in advance they are available at the beginning of the month and sell out quickly. Almost all info about exhibitions was in Japanese so I’d suggest prior research to anticipate any questions. Staff was very nice and helpful.

It was OK. Need to buy tickets in advance, very crowded inside and there is not really that much to see and do so you are stuck slowly moving through rooms in the crowds of people, hard to really appreciate at your own pace. The building itself is interesting and there is a nice selection of original Miyazaki pieces on display, a long with changing exhibitions and a theatre. Overall I would recommend for big fans of Ghibli but probably not that interesting if you have only watched one or 2 films from this studio.

My wife and daughter are huge fans so this was a must see attraction. Was such a fantastic place to visit. Make sure you venture up to the roof..... it's nice suprise!

(Translated by Google) I couldn't make a reservation easily, but I finally got it, so I went there for the first time. I checked the access on the homepage and went there with plenty of time, so I decided to walk from Mitaka station. If you walk along the street of Tamagawa Aqueduct, you will arrive in about 20 minutes. As you can see in the picture, there is a gate. If you walk a little, you will find the entrance. There are admission restrictions, so you will be asked to wait until the reserved time. Wait 30 minutes until time ... When I went to the entrance, there were quite a few lines. I made a reservation with Rochike, so I started the app and operated as told. After that, you will receive an admission ticket and a movie viewing ticket. At first, when you enter the first room (on your right) after entering, you will find movies and exhibits from the past. After that, it is an original museum, but it is a short one of about 15 minutes. Go upstairs to the movie sketches and animator's room. It was interesting. In the next room, some ideas and backgrounds of Hayao Miyazaki's work are explained. Go upstairs to the big cat bus for kids. The size is large enough to fit inside. Also, books and CDs are sold in the next room. Next is the sale of souvenirs, such as characters and fairly expensive models. Finally, climb the spiral staircase to the rooftop. The robot that appeared in Laputa stands there! You can almost see the impression in 2 hours. After that, it was said that shooting is strictly prohibited inside the building, and that the rooftop is good from the outside. It's a museum for people to dream, so it might be better to actually see and feel it. (Original) なかなか予約が取れなかったのですが、やっと取れたので、初めていきました。 ホームページでアクセスを確認して、時間に余裕をもって行ったので、三鷹駅から歩いて行く事にしました。玉川上水の通り沿いを歩くと、大体２０分くらいで到着です。 写真の通り、門があります。 少し歩くと入口があります、入場規制があるので予約時間までは待って下さいと言われます。 時間まで待つ事３０分…。入口に行くとかなり並んでました。 予約はローチケで行ったので、アプリ起動して、言われる通り操作。その後、入場券兼映画鑑賞券をもらえます。 最初は、入場後に最初の部屋（右手）に入ると過去からの映画や展示品があります。 その後で美術館オリジナルですが、１５分位の短い物です。 上の階に移動して、映画の下絵やアニメーターの部屋があります。興味深かったです。 次の部屋は、宮崎駿監督の作品の考え方や経緯が数点説明されてます。 また上の階に移動して、子供専用の大きな猫バスがあります。中に入れるほど大きいサイズです。あと、本やCDの販売も隣の部屋でされてます。 次はお土産の販売があり、キャラクターやかなり高額の模型とかあります。 最後にらせん階段を登り屋上へ。 そこには、ラピュタで登場したロボットが仁王立ち！ 感想は２時間あれば、ほぼ見れます。あとは、撮影は建物内は厳禁、外からと屋上は良いとの事でした。 夢を見てもらうための美術館なので、やはり実際に見て感じてもらった方が良いかも。

So glad I was able to get tickets to come here. It was very challenging getting tickets here as a foreigner, but there are ways to do it. Tickets must be purchased at least 1-2 months in advance. Pictures are only allowed outside, but I feel that gives you the opportunity to really enjoy the exhibits inside without being on your phone. They have English translations of the exhibits you can ask for as well. The cafe here was good too. I highly recommend doing your research and planning to come here. Also, make sure you walk around the park the museum is in afterwards!

Despite the hard ticket system for overseas, the Ghibli museum should not be missed by Studio Ghibli fans. It’s a great place to know more about animations as well as appreciate the architecture that Miyazaki pictured for the museum. For English speakers, I recommend buying the English guide book for ¥1,000 available at the 1st floor to appreciate the museum more (comes with a picture book and poster) as most words in the museum are in Nihonggo. Also note that no pictures allowed inside, probably to not spoil the inside of the museum. But outside photos are okay.

As a child, I thought of Ghibli's studio as a place of freedom, adventure, and exploration. Today, that pretty much hasn’t changed. Ghibli Studio was made to put guests in another world. Guests can step away from reality for a while and become immersed in a playground of storytelling and fantasy, which is why Ghibli Studio is so popular and no other company has been able to compete with it. This was my first time in the Ghibli museum and the staff was so kind and helpful . I came from Saudi Arabia to see my childhood dream and I’m so happy. There are two staff outside the museum for chick in, I’ll never forget them in my life. Thank you so much.

I was a little nervous as getting tickets was quite stressful and chaotic although I was ecstatic that I was successful in the end. But it was still such a beautiful experience. They were understandably very busy, considering how quickly they sell out. The place was crowded. But, they definitely know how to manage the crowds. We lined up around the corner to get into the building at our scheduled time frame, but we barely had to wait 5 minutes in that line just to get in. The movie that’s included with entry was soooo adorable, I loved every second. & the little film strip tickets they give you for the movie are so cute too, a nice momento. It’s honestly heaven for people who really appreciate Miyazaki’s art. There’s a bus that runs specifically for the museum from Mitaka station. Was so convenient.

The Ghibli Museum is a small but intriguing museum showcasing two permanent exhibitions about Ghibli movies that show stylized scenes from their most well known movies. The second exhibition is a series of rooms designed to show the creation process of Ghibli movies. There are hundreds of images of movie scenes as drawn by the artists plastered on the walls. The theater shows a short animation three times per hour. There is also a cafe serving small food items and drinks, however the food options are not Ghibli styled. You can expect to spend around 1 to 2 hours in the museum. Photography inside the museum is strictly prohibited. You can only take pictures outside which essentially only applies to the iron giant on the roof. Entry into the museum requires buying a ticket in advance. Ticket sales open on the 10th of every month shortly before 10am Japan time.

What an amazing museum! Everything here is themed, from the stained glass windows to the tickets made with pieces of actual 35mm film. Each of the exhibits is interesting and child-friendly, with interactive elements. There aren't English translations, but everything felt pretty self-explanatory and I didn't feel like I missed out on too much. Photos aren't allowed indoors, but there are plenty of photo opportunities outside and with the Laputa robot on the roof. Make sure you get tickets for right when the museum opens at 10am, on a weekday if possible. We were 15 minutes late and just had about an eight-minute wait, but the line looked pretty long when we left around 11:45am.

No walk-ins, only reserved for ticket holders. A great place to visit even if you’re not a Ghibli fan. Get to see behind the scenes of an animation film which was pretty cool. The museum is indoor and we only spent about 3 hours to see the whole museum (including a short 15 mins film).

(Translated by Google) You should definitely go before you die! Fine workmanship and dishes are also excellent! I'll definitely go when the corona is over (Original) 死ぬまでには絶対行った方が良い！ 細かい細工や料理なども絶品！ コロナ終わったら絶対に行くわw

Do it. No regrets. Buy cool stuff. You know you want to if you are looking this up. Eat at the cafe. Get the strawberry cake. Love it. You will get verklempt. Don't try and hide it. Everyone else is too.

I've got lucky to get the ticket's to visit this place some time ago. A place full of love, dreams and inspiration! I hope it will reach out everyone one day. This beautiful energy coming out of this place.

To improve English skills, this review is written by English. According to COVID-19, The Ghibli Museum had been closed since February 25. But it has finally reopened on September 5. However, it will resume in a different style from normal. the number of Visitors were reduced to avoid closed space, closely ,and Large gathering. Since it is an electronic ticket only, there is no contact. The number of visitors is probably half or less than normal. The line at the time of admission was short, and there were quite a few busy hours at noon.

(Translated by Google) I enjoyed the inside of the building more than I had imagined, with a staying time of 3.5 hours! From the exhibition of moving mechanical devices of the nostalgic Ghibli character, a mini theater of about 15 minutes, a photo spot with the giant soldiers appearing in Laputa, a cute souvenir shop and a bookstore, and a terrace cafe surrounded by nature! Everything was a really fun spot! From Kichijoji Station, it takes about 20 minutes to walk through the park, but there is plenty of nature, and there are cafes, general stores, and second-hand clothing stores around, so I think you can enjoy it somehow! It's a terrace cafe, but there is a product called "wheat latte", which is really delicious, so I definitely want you to drink it! (Original) 滞在時間3時間半と想像していた以上に館内が充実していて楽しめました！ 懐かしのジブリキャラクターの動く機械仕掛けの展示から、15分ほどのミニシアター、ラピュタに登場する巨人兵との写真スポットや可愛らしいお土産屋さんと本屋さん、自然に囲まれたテラスカフェ！ もう全てがほんとに楽しいスポットでした！ 吉祥寺駅からは公園を、通り抜けて徒歩20分ほどかかりますが、まぁ自然も多いし、周りにもカフェや雑貨屋、古着屋もあるのでなんだかんだ楽しめるかと思います！ テラスカフェなんですが、「麦のラテ」という商品があって、それはほんと美味しいのでぜひ一度飲んでもらいたいです！

It was an amazing experience so many small details. a lot of art, i love all the ghibli movies, so i enjoyed it a lot. we spend around 2 hours in there to look at everything. we didn't watch the movie, because it was limited for 82 people so you had to go 30 minutes early to get a seat.

This was simply an amazing experience. They don’t let you take pictures inside, so you need to pay a visit to see the content. There are several sections inside: a movie theater that plays a short film (that you can only see here) every 20 minutes, there is a section where you can see original hand drawings of the team, a permanent exhibition room, a whole room dedicated to the cat bus (play area for kids) and a nice cafe. This is a great visit if you have young kids, or if you’re adults. One of the most calming and wholesome experiences we have had. You just need to book the tickets a month in advance. If you have someone in Japan that can pick up a ticket with your name (you need to show an ID that matches the name on the ticket, otherwise they deny entry) that is the best option. Otherwise you need to use the website and try your luck.

A must if you are a Ghibli fan. Even fans of cinema or art will find joy in this museum. You can explore everything in roughly 2 hours if you watch the movie that comes with your ticket (playtime roughly 15 minutes). Please buy your ticket online in advance! Don't end up like the poot tourists in line behind us who waited 30 minutes in the August heat only to find out they couldn't buy tickets at the museum.

Magical place for Ghibli fans. Ticket is a piece of a movie roll. No English translations, but pictures and other exhibition pieces are worth the visit. Cafe and store very aligned with Museum, but I wish there was more focus on other movies. Park around museum is very beautiful, worth hanging around after. On the way from the station there are many places to eat.

(Translated by Google) Tickets are not easy to buy, as soon as they are sold they will be grabbed immediately. When you go to the scene to see the situation, you may be able to enter the venue in advance. You can not take pictures indoors, so everyone will not stay for a long time, and you can take pictures in the outdoor area. There are a lot of ingenuity in the whole museum, and you will definitely feel very much after seeing Miyazaki's works. (Original) 票不容易買到，一開賣就要馬上搶票了。到現場看狀況，也許可以提前進場，室內不能拍照，所以一個點大家也不會逗留太久，而戶外區就可以盡情的拍照攝影了。 整個美術館有很多小巧思，看過宮崎駿的作品一定都會很有感覺。

(Translated by Google) If you like Ghibli, you should definitely go! ! Is it narrow when you look at the appearance alone? I thought that, but the world of Ghibli, the works are arranged all over it, and it is a wonderful space where you can spend a whole day including things that can only be seen here. (Original) ジブリ好きなら絶対に行くべし！！外観だけで見ると狭いのかな？っと思っていたが全然あの中にはジブリの世界、作品が所ぜましと配置されておりここでしか見れないものなど本当に丸1日いることが出来る素敵な空間です。

(Translated by Google) It's hard to book. >> Yes. It's not in Tokyo. >> Yes. It has to connect the bus. >> Yes. . But it is also the best for Ghibli Anime lovers as well. It allows us to take on the little difficulty This is all hahaha . If anyone likes us, let's go. It's really worth it. But not inside to take pictures Can only be taken outside And in 1 day, will be divided into 4 rounds, depending on where we can book . Want to go, must book online 1 month in advance Every day at 10 o'clock in Japan (Let's see what time it is compared to our country) Tickets for the next month will be on sale. Which can be said that It will fill up quickly And full of the month today And will be full in 2 hours as well. From the experience that we booked . Each ticket is 1000 yen. I think it's not expensive. Go inside, there may not be English subtitles. But just having a look is great. Because in every room that we will see There will be a process of creating an anime creation. It is very good. It made us realize that each anime was able to be created.

Sam Roquet - Review Time & Tips. Studio Ghibli Museum was better than love at first sight, hahaha 😂 for many people (Jokes) I had such a great time here. just didn't want to leave at all. The experience was super amazing, though you are not allow to take pictures inside, that was ok. the museum displayed Miyazaki work beautifully, everything from what we have seen come to live in so many famous animated movie was display in so many different form of art. you really have to visit this place in person and will understand. I still remember going there, I Jump on the train from Shinjuku, and head to Mitaka (Kichijoji station is Closer to the museum than Mitaka station) I walked from the train station in the morning and was able to enjoy a spring day where I able to sit back in a park, right behind the museum, where the local were enjoying morning picnic, and seeing the Sakura bloom. Tip: If I could recommend anything for those who wants to visit. you must buy tickets at lease 90 days before your visit. There is no ticket booth on site. If you are on a low budget and don't want to pay expensive price for the ticket. Jump on your computer, not phone, and go onto Lawson's convenient store website and get tickets through there. first come first served ofcause. I believe the last time I got the ticket it was around 1000-1500 yen. Fyi the website is in Japanese, but Google Chrome or Safari wold usually translate it for you. I did it so you should be ok.

(Translated by Google) Very satisfied! !! If you like Ghibli, there are many Kyun points. Stained glass with the motif of Ghibli works is displayed in various places, but you can not only enjoy it in the sunlight during the day, but also see it illuminated by the indoor lamp after the sun goes down. It was different and nice. You can see that the casual glass used in the hall (such as in the toilet) is handmade one by one, and it is also a space where you can feel the unique taste of the same thing. It was one of the factors that made us realize that was carefully created. It's a museum that makes you want to immerse yourself in it, and it's like an exhibit. Not to mention children, there are many points that adults can enjoy. Since it is adjacent to Inokashira Park, you can enjoy the changing nature of the background depending on the season. The short film shown in the hall changes every month, so I would like to go to another month. (Original) 大満足！！ ジブリ好きならキュンポイントがたくさんあります。 ジブリ作品モチーフのステンドグラスが各所に飾られているのですが、日のある内に太陽光で味わうのはもちろん、日が沈んでから屋内のランプの灯りで照らされているのも見え方が異なり素敵でした。 館内に使われている何気ないガラス(例えばトイレにあるような)が、一枚一枚手作りのものであることがわかるもので、その同じものがひとつとしてない赴きある味わいが感じられるのも、空間が大切に作り上げられたものであることがわかる一つの要素でした。 のんびり浸っていたくなる、こだわりに包まれるような、そのものが展示品かのような美術館です。 子供はもちろんですが、大人だからこそ楽しめるポイントも盛りだくさんです。 井の頭公園に隣接しているので、季節によって背景となる自然の移り変わりも楽しめそうです。 館内上映のショートフィルムが月替わりなので、また別の月に行ってみたいです。

(Translated by Google) I visited with my baby. Children can enjoy cat buses and rooftop robots. Also for adults who want to immerse themselves in the world of Ghibli. The main exhibition is the state of production, director Miyazaki's ideas, and history. Some people may be disappointed if they don't go after keeping in mind that it is an art museum and not an amusement facility where you can meet Totoro. The original short animation is also interesting, but it's a short one, so I think it's for people who like all of Ghibli's style. (Original) 乳児と二人で訪れました。 子供が楽しめるのは猫バスと屋上のロボット。あとはジブリの世界観に浸りたい大人向き。制作の様子や、宮崎監督のアイデア、歴史などの展示がメインです。あくまでも美術館であり、トトロに会える、などといったアミューズメント施設では無いと言うことを念頭に置いてから行かないと期待外れになる人もいるかも。 あとはオリジナル短編アニメも面白いけど、短編のものなので、あくまでもジブリの作風なら全部好きって言う人向けかと思います。

It’s nice museum where is the one of my favorite. Although taking photo is prohibited inside, I can enjoy with the environment outside. In my opinion, both inside and outside are amazing. Please go there when the weather is good. Moreover, dessert at cafe is so reasonable and tasty, and u can relax at terrace seat. Book store and Souvenir shop inside is wonderful. They have many rare items of Ghibli which are different from Ghibli store. If you are Ghibli lover, I strongly recommend to put Ghibli Museum in your trip.

Spent my birthday here! If you love art & animation specially Ghibli Animation this is a must see! I enjoyed my day here! bought some memorabilia that I know only sold here! I had fun I just hope they make a cat bus for adults to! I am so envious to those kids who were able to ride it! 😂 Oh yeah, no picture allowed inside and that breaks my heart so I just bought their coffee table book!

Fantastic. A must go for those who love Hayao Miyazaki movies. A lot of things to explore and to interact. There is no fixed route, so explore is fun. There is also a small but nice playground for kids. Kids love it so always a long queue (like 15min queue for 5min play). One note is that they don’t allow taking pictures or filming inside the building (outside and/or on the roof top is fine). They also present an exclusive short movie. So cute and lovely! I wouldn’t spoil, so go and watch it! The shop is however a bit disappointing. Small and not too many choices. If you want to buy relevant souvenirs, go to Tokyo station first avenue (东京站一番街). There is a shop with more selections.

Very nice museum but not as big as the ghibli park but still it's a nice place to explore. With a nice short movie and a wall to wall sketches and drawings from the artist, it's something to see. Worth getting your hands on the tickets even if you have to wait online. Overall, very exciting.

Took an hour by metro + bus to get the museum from the center of Tokyo. 2-3 hours are enough to walk around and have coffee break in the middle. The ways they make Ghibli film are well presented but the Ghibli gift shop should have more varieties!

Visiting the Ghibli Museum has been a dream come true, and I still can't believe we managed to secure a reservation! This place has been on our bucket list, and it absolutely lived up to our expectations. The museum is a haven of uniqueness and loveliness. Although we couldn't take photos inside, every corner of the museum was a work of art in itself. We were thrilled to find the Catbus plushy and a couple of Susuwatari soot sprites to complete our Totoro plushy family collection. It's an absolute must-visit for any Studio Ghibli fan. The staff, both at the entrance and inside, were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Ghibli Museum, for making our visit a memorable one. We can't wait to return!

A must for any fan of Ghibli! The exhibitis in the museum are wonderful and brings back memories of the various Ghibli creations. The building itself is quite stunning inside. There is also an iron to view a short Ghibli animation in the onsite theatre which was quite a great and highly recommended. As a bonus, the ticket stub is also a slide of a Ghibli, which makes for a nice souvenir. The only downside is that photography is not permitted inside the building. A real disappointment given the unique photography opportunities.

The most magical place I've ever been to! You get to witness how a film is made, and everything is incredibly beautiful. There are so many details to be found in every corner of the museum. If you enjoy Ghibli, design, motion, or anything related to film creation, I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back again.

Very cute and beautiful museum. Seeing how the movies were made and what inspired them were very interesting. The cafe was better than expected and the food tasted really good. The souvenir shop was a bit crowded but it was alright. The short film was really cute and with beautiful animations.

2020.07.29日三鷹市民招待日の抽選に運良く当たり、カミさん、娘、孫の四人で訪れました。娘がジブリファンで幾度となく行ってるので娘の解説付きで約三時間ほど楽しめました。 外から外観を見てると狭く感じてましたが中に入ってかなり広くてビックリ❗ 売店もジブリグッズ一杯で絵ハガキ、コースター等を買いました。 中で写真撮影出来ないのは仕方ないと思います。 スタッフさん達も皆親切でありがとうございました。 また、機会ありましたら伺いたいと思います...。

(Translated by Google) The view of Ghibli's world is amazing. I think that you can enjoy just by walking in the building. The clerk was nice and nice. (Original) ジブリの世界観がすごいです。建物のなかを歩いてるだけで楽しめると思います。店員さんも親切でよかったですよ。

(Translated by Google) If you like Ghibli, you should definitely go there! The cat bus was also cute. The Ghibli world moth was really nice. (Original) ジブリ好きなら絶対行った方がいいスポットです！ネコバスもかわいかったです。ジブリの世界観蛾本当に素敵でした。

(Translated by Google) It was crowded, but the kids looked very happy. It's good because adults can enjoy it. (Original) 混雑していたけど、子どもたちがとても楽しそうでした。大人も楽しめるので良かったですよ。

(Translated by Google) Many are worth seeing, but the venue is not as big as imagined. Actually a little crowded (Original) 很多值得看的，但是場地沒有想像的大。事實上有點擁擠呢

(Translated by Google) There is the only weak point of photography ? except the rooftop, but it is a place where you can be satisfied without being a Ghibli fan ❗️ You can feel the fantasy feeling in a mysterious labyrinth ? Famous characters at the exhibition and souvenir shop I'm waiting for you ? (Original) 屋上を除き写真撮影?という最大唯一の弱点はありますがジブリファンならずとも入ったら絶対満足出来る場所です❗️不思議な迷宮でファンタジーな気分を味わえます?展示物やおみやげ屋で名キャラクター達が入場客を待っています?

(Translated by Google) Extraordinary museum. The museum store has unique items and collectible pins. The food they sell there is not recommended. (Original) Extraordinario museo. La tienda del museo tiene artículos únicos y pins de colección. La comida que venden ahí no es recomendada.

It is very popular and you need to buy tickets in advance but if you have the chance I highly recommend coming here if you are a fan of any Ghibli movie and have an adventurous heart. Explore the museum inside and outside at your own pace and don’t be afraid to explore with all of your senses! They have two short films only shown at the museum as well as an exhibition space that changes somewhat occasionally. The Straw Hat cafe is very busy but is worth the wait if you are hungry as the dishes and interior as just as magical as the rest of the museum. The staff are also friendly and will help with any questions you may have. I spent half a day here without any rush and would suggest anyone else to come here with a lot of free time and an open mind.

This museum is a must-visit for the Studio Ghibli fan, and it is an enjoyable experience to walk through the maze-like buildings and explore the various rooms and stairwells. The Saturn Theater in the basement of the museum showed two short films that were a delight to watch, even though I don't understand a word of Japanese. There is also food available in the outside area if you feel like grabbing a bite or drink. Four things to know before you visit: 1. Book your tickets in advance! You cannot purchase your tickets from the museum when you arrive. Plan ahead before you make the trip from the downtown Tokyo area. 2. Photography is only allowed outside the museum, so don't expect to be able to share images of the beautiful artwork and designs inside the main building. 3. There will likely be A LOT of people when you visit. This museum is primarily tight corridors and small rooms, and the gift shop is even more cramped. Try not to visit during peak hours/days if possible. 4. This museum offers guide maps in various languages but all exhibits, rooms, and artwork descriptions are in Japanese, so there may be a bit of a language barrier if your understanding of Japanese is as limited as mine.

Had a fun time here. There are plenty of cool things to see and some of the exhibits are even interactive, encouraging you to have fun. There are a number of short films that can be seen in the museum that cannot be found anywhere else (sadly, I only got to see one but it was amazing). The museum's store sold all kinds of Ghibli themes goods. I bought bookmarks that contained film strips used in Howl's Moving Castle and some post cards that have illustrations of the museum on them.

One of our highlights from Japan! The Ghibli museum is a must see for fans of any of their films. They have exhibits set up in the form of rooms that look like actual production rooms with drawing tables, hand written notes and animation cells. You get to see and learn the whole animation process from pre production drawings through to finished beautifully colored animation cells. There are interactive animation film projectors and even strobe light animation that brings pictures to life before you. It’s a great walk through with so much to look at and take in. There’s also a cafe to grab a bite. Just be sure to get your tickets a month in advance as the museum only releases tickets a month prior to a visit.

We didn't get to take photos inside, but if you love Ghibli you should definitely visit the Museum! We went to the zoo and a cafe beforehand. We got to watch a short film in the Museum that was nice and there were hundreds of drawings everywhere from the movies. Very interesting!

The Ghibli Museum has been on my to do list for a while but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. There are a lot of original calls and drawings on display but not a lot that is interactive. Be aware that you can't take pictures inside the museum. I enjoyed the ghibli merchandise available in other places more than here. Not a lot of info in English. Very crowded, the wait for the straw hat cafe was too long so we didn't try it. It just felt like a house. It was good, but maybe its more for giant Ghibli fans or artists. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Walkable from train through a nice park but there is also a bus.

(Translated by Google) Hmm ... subtle Not so impressed It feels like it's over without playground equipment ... I was most impressed by the moment I entered. I wonder if it's okay once ... It's a mystery where to get on the bus (Original) うーん…微妙 そんなに感動もなく 遊具もなく終わった感じ… 入るまでと入る瞬間が一番感動した。 一度でよいかな… バスに乗ってまで行く所かは謎

(Translated by Google) As for Ghibli, I'm an amateur who has only watched a few movies, but I enjoyed it very much. To get an admission ticket, you need to purchase the ticket in advance at a specified time on the rochike. It is recommended to check the official website in advance because there are detailed rules such as prohibition of eating and drinking and photography in the hall. (Original) ジブリに関しては映画を数本観たことあるだけの素人ですが、とても楽しめました。 入場チケットを手に入れるにはローチケで時間指定してチケットを事前に購入する必要があります。 館内は飲食禁止や写真撮影禁止など、細かいルールがあるため事前に公式ホームページを確認することをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) A lovely art gallery is a pity that you can't take pictures inside. (Original) 可愛的一個美術館很可惜裡面不能拍照

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place I found when I was young. (Original) 어릴 때 찾은 참 아름다운 곳.

(Translated by Google) An irresistible museum for Ghibli lovers. By the way, I can't get on the cat bus! (Original) ジブリ好きには、たまらない美術館。 ちなみに猫バスに乗車できません！

(Translated by Google) Nice with Ghibli! !! Ghibli Museum where you can have dreams and become a wonderful and rich humanity ♥ (Original) ジブリがあって素敵！！夢があって素晴らしい豊かな人間性になれるジブリ美術館♥

(Translated by Google) It is a mysterious museum where you want to return to your childhood and spend your time with curiosity. (Original) 童心に返って好奇心の赴くままに過ごしたい不思議なミュージアムです。

(Translated by Google) I've known this place for a long time, but this is my first visit ♪ The location is within walking distance from both Kichijoji Station and Mitaka Station. The building itself had an appearance that made you feel Ghibli, but when you go inside, there are various exhibits and gimmicks, making it exactly like Ghibli world, and I think that you can enjoy it regardless of age ♪ I was able to have a valuable experience that I can not usually see, such as the process of the work and the back side part ♫ There are men and women of all ages and foreigners, and I realized once again that Ghibli is loved by people all over the world. (Original) 以前からここの事は知ってはいましたが、今回初めて訪れることに♪ 場所は、吉祥寺駅からも三鷹駅からも歩いていける距離にあります。建物自体も、ジブリを感じさせる外観でしたが、中に入ると様々な展示品やギミックがあったりと、まさにジブリワールドを感じさせる作りとなっていて、年齢に関わらず楽しめると思います♪ 作品の工程や、また裏側の部分など、普段見る事の出来ない貴重な体験が出来ました♫ 老若男女、また外人さんも居たり、改めてジブリは世界各国の人々に愛されているのだなぁと実感しました。

Ok, so where to start on possibly the best museum in Tokyo? Just being able to wander around this place is a dream. Great architecture, and some really thoughtfully designed spaces. No pictures are allowed to be taken of the exhibits, tho so bear that in mind. Exhibits include; Reproduction of Hayao Miyazaki's office, free 5 minute exclusive Ghibli short, tons of artwork from all of the movies and even model reproductions of famous Ghibli kitchens. The gift shop is also rammed with exclusive merchandise, most which you can't get outside of the museum, even In the Studio Ghibli stores. The cafe was a nice experience, there was a wait of about 40 minutes but the food is all organic, from the surrounding areas and excellent for a licensed tie in cafe. If I would have to deduct a star, it would be for the ticket buying process. Tickets have to be purchased months (in our case 3 months) ahead of visiting, and cannot be purchased on the door. We used JTB (from the UK) which was pretty easy, but if you can't make it on the day your tickets are booked, you aren't going as the tickets will be long sold out. Easy enough of a walk from Mitaka station, highly worth a visit.

Planning for the museum began in 1998. Construction started in March 2000. Upon completion, the museum opened on 1 October 2001.[1] Studio Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki designed the museum himself, using storyboards similar to the ones he creates for his films. The design was influenced by European architecture such as the hilltop village of Calcata in Italy. The museum features internal and external spiral staircases built from iron, interior bridges, and balconies stretching throughout the building's height. These stairways lead to exhibits, dead ends, and across bridges.[2] These characteristics are meant to reflect Miyazaki's building designs displayed in his film work.[3] Miyazaki's aim was to make the building itself part of the exhibit,[4] and for the museum to be an uplifting and relaxing experience "that makes you feel more enriched when you leave than when you entered". Photography and video recording is prohibited inside the museum, because the museum is described as a "portal to a storybook world."[3] Hayao Miyazaki's goal was also for people to experience the museum with their own eyes and ears. "Let's get lost together" is the museum's slogan, derived from Hayao Miyazaki's vision for visitors to immerse themselves in his imagination and film work.[3][5] In February 2020, the museum closed for an undisclosed period as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6][7] Despite efforts to reopen the Ghilbi Museum on 10 March 2020, the closure was later extended to 28 April.

(Translated by Google) Just a little from the outside! Because it's a ticket reservation system and it's hard to buy. (Original) 外からちょっとだけよ！ だってチケット予約制でなかなか買えないんだもん。

(Translated by Google) It's an irresistible place for Ghibli lovers. I was impressed by the fact that the admission ticket film is unique and not the same. The short films that can only be seen at this museum are screened on a monthly basis, and the content was very good. I stayed for more than 2 hours when I realized that I was planning to go around quickly. (Original) ジブリ好きにはたまらない場所です。 入場券のフィルムは唯一無二で同じものがないものとのことで感動。 月替わりでこちらの美術館でしか観られない短編映画が上映されており、内容もとても良かったです。 サクッと周る予定が気付けば2時間以上滞在していました。

(Translated by Google) I've been watching Ghibli for a long time and grew up in Ghibli, so it was a place I definitely wanted to visit. I'm really impressed! Children too Totoro! I was very excited. It was good that the corona measures were also solid. It has become a place I want to go with my children again. (Original) ジブリをずっと見てきて、ジブリで育ったので、絶対に行きたい場所でした。 もう大感激！子供たちもトトロ！など大興奮でした。 コロナ対策もしっかりされていて、良かったです。 また子供たちと一緒に行きたい場所になりました。

(Translated by Google) I haven't had a chance to enter the museum, but it's an atmosphere that makes me dream just by looking at it from the outside. I think that both adults and children will enter the world of their own images. (Original) 機会がなく入館したことはありませんが、外から眺めただけでも夢を見させてくれる雰囲気です。大人も子供も、自分描いているイメージの世界に入ってしまうと思います。

(Translated by Google) I finally went because I wanted to go all the way. Corona infection control is in place. The only thing I was worried about was the screening of a short animation, but I was worried about the number of spectators in the theater. I used to put it in with my family, but I was a little worried because it was close. Other than that, I was very satisfied with all the exhibits and others. There were some parts that I couldn't see, so I would like to go again. (Original) ずーーーーっと行きたくて ようやく行ってきました。コロナ感染対策は きちんとされています。ひとつだけ 心配だなぁと思ったのは、短編アニメの上映があったのですが その劇場内での 観客数が 気になりました。家族ごととかで入れてはいましたが、近いので ちょっと心配でした。それ以外は、展示物他 全てにおいて 大満足でした。見切れない部分もあったので また行きたいと思います。

It is a must-visit place for fans of Hayao Miyazaki. You will feel like you are in the world of Miyazaki. You cannot take pictures inside the museum which is fair. You need to get tickets ahead of time. I got mine from Lawson's.

A must-visit spot for any fan of Ghibli films. I just wish they would let people take photos inside! Some parts of the museum such as bits about the development of the films and such are only presented in Japanese, but much of the museum is visual, so accessible to most.

The only place in the world where you can fulfill your ghibli imagination. The best place is the museum shops. Countless ghibli merchandise that only one of a kind in the world.

The Ghibli Museum was great to visit in Tokyo all around the famous studios films and their memorable characters. I hadn't watched a huge number of Ghibli films beforehand but still had a really enjoyable experience. The museum was a combination of how the films were made, showcasing animation techniques but also being an interactive insight into the Ghibli universe. There are several rooms that have different themes as well as outdoor spaces that are interesting to explore. There is also a mini cinema which shows a short film which I'd highly recommend going to (the showings are every 15 mins during the day and it's included in your entry ticket price!). We ended up spending about 2 hours at the museum. There is also a cafe and restaurant as well as a couple of gift shops if you want a souvenir. You need to book tickets online (you can pick them up and pay for them from any Lawson store via the electronic terminals). They do get booked up so try and book a couple of weeks in advance if you can. For 1000 Yen per person, the Ghibli museum is well worth a visit if you're in Tokyo!

The Ghibli Museum was fantastic. The exhibits were impressive, and the artists' sense of whimsy was unmistakable. It's particularly suitable for young children. However, reaching there was somewhat difficult. I would suggest taking a short walk from the train station rather than using the bus. The path mostly follows the park and is quite pleasant.

A must-visit for Ghibli fans!! We were extremely excited to visit this museum! You have to purchase the tickets online and collect them from the konbini. You can take a bus to the museum from Kichijoji station. Was a bit disappointed when they told us there we are not allowed to take pictures indoors. Upon checking in, we were given a small film ticket to view a short movie, which is absolutely cute. We get to keep the ticket as a souvenir. At that period, we watched the film Mei and the Kitten Bus in a small theatre. This short movie is only available for viewing at the museum. Hence it is very worth it. There was so much to look at and everything is so cute and pretty. Absolutely loved the stained glass which was all over the place. We loved how detailed they are with all the decorations. It feels like we went into the movies! It is also very crowded. We wanted to have lunch at the cafe but the queue was crazy! The gift shop was also one of the main highlights cause we spent like $300 at the shop getting gifts. The goods are only available at this museum which makes it unique and good as gifts.

A must for Ghibli fans. This is more a place to learn about Ghibli than an attraction. Many displays of movie drawings, explanations on various movies. There is a history of animation as well as a Studio Ghibli short to view. The museum is themed after many of the Ghibli movies, so when you are walking around it has that feel of being in one of the Ghibli movies. First word of warning there is no English translations, everything is in Japanese. Have a way to translate to your preferred language if wanting to understand the display descriptions. Still one of the best experiences I have had in Japan. Getting there is pretty straight forward, you get off the JR train and then catch a bus, to the museum. Also be warned they do not want you taking pictures inside. This is not the same thing that may come up in searching the internet, the Ghibli theme park. The theme park is in a different location. Tickets must be purchased in advance. And they go on sale the month before you are going to visit, so if you plan to go in March, those tickets go on sale in February.

A must visit for ghibli fans. The museum itself is the main attraction. It is playful. Childish. Fun. Colourful. Everything is made from the eyes of children. I loved it. The exhibitions were a little lackluster, but I guess it is because I love the more mainstream movies. Either way we ended up spending 2 hours and just had a fun time.

This is so worth 1000 yen! It's so fascinating inside! If you are a fan you have to make a visit. There's a 15 minute mini movie they play. If you missed it, do NOT feel you missed out. For foreigners like myself. I had to buy tickets online on the English version site. Order your tickets earlier than later. Wait online ahead of time than opening time. The queue can go 10,000+.

Have the buy tickets in advance on their website and they pretty much sell out instantly and I completely understand why. Can't take photos inside the museum but I feel like that adds to the charm of the place, it's very interactive and there is a lot of trust that you treat everything gently. There are lots of things to entertain children and the gift shop has everything you would ever want related to Studio Ghibli. The cafe queue was really long but the food was really nice, especially the fries! Also if you come from Mitaka station (one stop after Kochijoji on the Chuo rapid line), there is a 'catbus' specifically for people to take to the Museum.

You have to get your tickets in advanced and they’re priced reasonably. I do recommend going in the morning as it was less packed. They don’t allow photography inside as it takes away the experience for others. They give you a piece of film upon entry which is cool and inside you’ll experience little features of inspirations for the films and how things come together. There isn’t a lot of things here that’ll make you stay too long but if you’re a fan, it’s quite a magical place to see. They also have a short film you can watch which was cute but honestly isn’t too important.

ahhhhhhhhhhh! I love this place!!!!!!!! You must come here! The park covers around museum and soooo peaceful. The town/district is peaceful also ^^ The ticket is super hard to buy it. I asked my local friend to buy tickets. It is cheap, only 1000yen, and you can live in your childhood dream. I cried a lot when came here.

Must see for Ghibli fans, young and old. The little gift shop has some really lovely items to get for Ghibli lovers. The highlight is definitely the private feature film which shows about every 10-15 minutes. You're also provided the cutest little film strip ticket which you can keep as a memento of your time there.

Must visit if you like Ghibli films. I heard tickets sell out far in advance but I was lucky enough to get one pretty close to the date. You get to watch a short film per visit so don't miss out on that as well. People lined up before it was even open, and got a little busy when I got in.

An incredible experience and a must for any fan of any degree! The attendants are very knowledgeable of the exhibits and please take your time to enjoy them! Also make sure to book your tickets a month before your trip and as soon as possible because they will sell out for the day.

This was a very special experience as a long time Ghibli fan. My partner who has not watched any of the films still enjoyed the experience. The film shown was the cutest thing ever even though we didn't understand the language. I think that you could spend a lot more time here if you could read Japanese, there was a lot of content that we missed. It was still a magical experience and worth the rigmarole of getting tickets!!

An amazing experience that felt like a fever dream. Wonderful place to bring kids especially if they have watched the films. The museum explores how we use images to trick our eyes into thinking they are moving as well as show many wonderful art pieces from the ghibli films. A great experience for anyone who loves the films and want to see them brought to life.

Место просто мастхев для посещения если вы фанат данной студии, я смотрел множество из работ и некоторую часть на больших экранах, по этому решил сюда ехать даже зная, что все закрыто из-за COVID-19. Территория очень красивая, внутри отдельный сказочный мир, мне удалось немного прогуляться по территории и сделать пару кадров этого крутого места. Если вы планируете посетить это место, то имейте ввиду, что билеты сюда нужно присматривать ещё до того, как вы прибыли в Японию. Здесь почти всегда все раскуплено на недели вперёд. А также проверяйте доступность места перед поездкой сюда, так как она удалена от Токио на очень приличное расстояние. Внутри имеются крутые сувенирные и книжные магазины. В Токио есть несколько ещё магазинов от Гибли, где вы также можете купить их сувенирную продукцию и книги.

前にしか行けませんでしたが、雰囲気最高ですね♪

某テーマパークより断然おすすめ！

Awesome place for every Ghibli animation fan. You have to get a ticket in advance, but it is worth it.

Place is overrated and not much to see or do. Not worth the wait imo.

(Translated by Google) It is a wonderful space with a beautiful mechanism and atmosphere that draws you into the world of Ghibli. There are no showy attractions, but I feel envious of the cat bus where small children can play (adults can't even ride). It is a reservation ticket system. (Original) ジブリの世界観に引き込まれる綺麗な仕掛けや雰囲気があり、素敵な空間です。派手なアトラクションはありませんが、小さな子供が遊べる猫バスは羨ましい気持ちになります(やはり大人は乗れないものですよね)。予約チケット制です。

(Translated by Google) There are robot soldiers on the rooftop, lined up for a photo shoot. I think that adults and children can enjoy it (reservation required). (Original) 写真撮影で並びますが屋上にロボット兵がいます。大人から子どもまで楽しめると思います（予約制です）。

(Translated by Google) It's a bit cramped that you have to go on a schedule because you need to book tickets by date and time. It's a popular museum, so I think it's better to wait in line, but even if you live nearby, it's far away. As of August 2020, it is closed due to measures against corona. (Original) チケットは、日時指定の予約制のため、計画的に行かなくてはならないのが、ちょっと窮屈。人気がある美術館なので、列に並んで待つよりはいいかなとは思うけれど、近くに住んでいても遠い美術館。2020年８月現在、コロナ対策で休館中。

(Translated by Google) I want to go again and again (Original) 何度でも行きたくなります

(Translated by Google) Visited many times since opening. The "bookmark" with a film, which you can get from the reception, has a design that has not changed since the museum opened. (Original) 開館から何度となく見学。受付でもらえるフィルム入りの「しおり」は開館時から変わらないデザイン。

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. To be booked months in advance. (Original) Bellissima esperienza. Da prenotare mesi prima.

Very interesting and worth going to if you are a fan of the films. As a warning the exhibitions are only in Japanese, however this didn't dampen our enjoyment of the museum.

(Translated by Google) A dream place for kids and adults (Original) 子供か大人まで楽しい夢の場所

(Translated by Google) It was an exciting Ghibli Museum! Even small children can enjoy ✨ (Original) ワクワクがとまらないジブリ美術館でした！小さい子も楽しめます✨

(Translated by Google) A great place for Ghibli lovers ? (Original) ジブリ好きには嬉しい場所?

(Translated by Google) The museum is full of details and winks, he is full of love for his works and Japanese animation. Not allowing photos is a great idea, people benefit and it's more enjoyable for everyone. Very suitable for children! The exclusive screening at the museum was far too qualitative, just for that it's great. (Original) Le musée fourmille de détails et de clins d’œil, il est plein d'amour pour ses œuvres et l'animation japonaise. Le fait de ne pas autoriser les photos est une excellente idée, les gens profitent et c'est plus agréable pour tous. Très adapté pour les enfants ! La projection exclusive au musée était beaucoup trop qualitative, rien que pour ça c'est génial.

Definitely worth a visit even if you're only mildly interested in Miyazaki's films.

(Translated by Google) Nice to meet you. good luck. (Original) 初めまして。頑張って下さい。

Love love love. I have been there twice. A great place for Ghibli fans.

This place will forever hold a special place in my heart. I loved every minute of it. We enjoyed all the rooms and the short 20 minute movie they played us; although we had to sit on stairs for the whole duration. Nonetheless, was an enjoyable place. We enjoyed ice cream after, and took pictures.

ファンタジーな気分を堪能できました。

(Translated by Google) A must for anyone who likes the movies from studio Ghibli. The museum is almost entirely in Japanese, but children can run around and explore everything in the museum. (Original) Ett måste för alla som gillar filmerna från studio Ghibli. Museet är nästintill helt på japanska men barn får springa omkring och utforska allting i museet.

(Translated by Google) It was good! (Original) 良かったです！

(Translated by Google) I visited with a family who likes Ghibli. It was a wonderful facility where you can enjoy the world view as if you were lost in the work because the exhibits and buildings were elaborate. I am impressed that it takes so much human hands and time to make one work. It's a pity that I can't shoot inside, but I think it's good that I could concentrate on watching it so that I could keep it in my memory. Since I was able to know a lot of the background of the production, I decided to take a closer look at the DVD. (Original) ジブリが好きな家族と訪問しました。展示物、建物など工夫が凝らされており作品の中に迷い込んだような世界観が楽しめる素晴らしい施設でした。ひとつの作品が出来るまでにこんなにも人の手と時間がかかっているのかと感動します。中の撮影ができないのは残念ですがその分記憶にとどめようと集中して鑑賞できたのはよかったかもしれません。制作の背景をたくさん知ることが出来たのであらためてじっくりDVDを見なおしてみようと思いました。

(Translated by Google) There is also an animation mechanism, so it is a perfect place for anime lovers. (Original) アニメーションの仕組みもあり、アニメ好きならもってこいの場所です。

(Translated by Google) A big hit for children who have their favorite Ghibli characters. You can get on the cat bus. It is interesting to get a glimpse of how to make the original movie even for adults. No photography is allowed inside. It's okay outside. Right next door is Inokashira Park, which is a wonderful space. As of 2/6, meal sales have been discontinued at the cafe, and you can sit and enjoy only drinks. There is a storage space at the entrance of the stroller, and the stroller cannot turn inside. I think it's a 15-minute walk from Inokashira Park with children. I recommend the bus. (Original) 好きなジブリキャラがいる子供には大ヒット。猫バスに乗れます。大人でももともとの映画の作り方なども垣間見えて面白い。中は写真撮影禁止。外はオッケー。すぐ隣が井の頭公園で素敵な空間。2/6時点ではカフェで食事販売中止しており、飲み物のみ座って楽しむことが可能。ベビーカー入り口に置き場あり、中はベビーカーでは回れず。 井の頭公園から子連れで歩いて15分はむりだと思います。バスをおすすめします。

Love, love, love this place. We went to this place last february and really enjoyed it.. been a fan of ghibli since little kid and this trip really brought back all the memories. There are many attractions in this museum and many things to see so you will not get bored spending a day here. The store also sells a lot of souvenirs.

Absolutely amazing place, a real journey into a fantasy world. Even if you're not a Ghibli fan, the atmosphere of this place is captivating. And if you are, a visit in this Museum is a kinda religious experience. Especially because you can watch a unique 15-min Ghibli cartoon in the Museum cinema, shown only here. The place is crowded even more by adults than kids, it has an amazing interior with many cozy hidden places and a recreated old animator's studio. Don't forget to book the tickets in advance!

Amazing, mind blowing experience. The products in the shop are refined and of good quality. If you are someone who works with vision and creativeness, you will even appreciate this place more.

This place is incredible. Photography is not allowed inside which means the first time you visit you are blown away by this incredible space. It's a must visit for any Studio Ghibli fans.

I was here like 8 years ago. It was awesome! The work that Miyazaki done is soooo good in quality. No matter why he is so successful.

(Translated by Google) I was surprised because the inside is much larger than I had imagined in the photos. I didn't feel the situation from the front so much, so I couldn't fully enjoy it just once. Ghibli's short films are shown on a regular basis, which makes me want to go there again and again. Unfortunately, shooting is prohibited inside. The world view of Ghibli can only be remembered. You can take pictures of the outside and the rooftop, so I would like to visit when the weather is nice. A large robot soldier stands on the roof, and his eyes are lowered to talk to him. Mitaka citizens have a frame where they can get tickets with priority. Also, the explanation of Lawson Ticket's smartphone app is difficult to understand, and it is written as if to carry out procedures such as companion information and ticket distribution after the ticket is reserved, but it is not necessary here. Once you've confirmed that you've made a reservation, all you have to do is show your companion at the entrance. (Original) 写真などで想像していたよりも、内部がかなり広いのでビックリしました。表からの様子もこれ程に感じないので、一回だけでは堪能しきれませんでした。 ジブリのショート映画が、定期的に入れ替えて上映されていて、何度も通いたくなります。 残念なのは、内部は撮影禁止です。ジブリの世界観は記憶に残すしかありません。外周りと屋上は撮影可なので、お天気が良いときに訪れたいです。屋上には大きなロボット兵が立っていて、話しかけるように目線が下げられています。 三鷹市民の方は、チケットが優先的に取れる枠があるそうです。 あと、ローソンチケットのスマホアプリの説明が分かりにくく、チケットが予約できた後に、同行者の情報やチケット分配などの手続きをするかの様に書いてありますが、ここでは必要ありません。予約できているのが確認できたら、同行者の分も入口で提示するだけです。

(Translated by Google) It's a place you'll want to visit again and again as the exhibitions and short films of the Saturn constellation change regularly. (Original) 定期的に展示や土星座の短編映画も変わるので何度でも行きたくなる場所です

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time. The first thing I felt was the passion of the staff who designed and exhibited this facility. There are many devices that adults as well as children can enjoy. Ghibli characters are hiding in unexpected places ... It's fun to go around looking for them. I had limited the number of people as a measure against the new corona, but even so, I decided to leave when I passed each other around 14:00. (Original) 初めて訪ねました。まず感じたのはこの施設を設計、展示しているスタッフの情熱です。 子供だけじゃなく大人も楽しめる仕掛けがたくさんあります。ジブリのキャラクターが思わぬところに隠れていたり…それを探しながらまわるのも楽しいですね。新型コロナ対策で人数制限をしていたのですが、それでも14時頃にはすれ違うときに余裕が無くなってしまい退出することにしました。

(Translated by Google) Next to Inokashira Park, the world of Ghibli's Laputa. A place where even adults can immerse themselves in the world of manga.

I can share this kind of world view Somehow the sky was blue and I was already impressed (Original) 井の頭公園の横にジブリのラピュタの世界。 大人でもマンガの世界に浸れる場所。 宮崎駿さんの作品は全部見ているので 展示物どれもが興味ぶかい。 カフェもあってゆっくりと楽しめる。 こんな世界観を共有できるなんて なんか空が青くてもう感動してしまった

(Translated by Google) A museum where you can fully enjoy the world view of Hayao Miyazaki.

However, because the number of visitors was greatly limited, I was able to appreciate the exhibits slowly. (Original) 宮崎駿の世界観を存分に味わうことが出来る美術館。 緊急事態宣言中で当局の要請により、カフェでの食事提供が出来ないことが残念。 しかし、来館人数を大幅に制限しているため、展示品等はゆっくり鑑賞出来た。

(Translated by Google) 5 stars if it's easy to make a reservation ...! It can't be helped because it's a corona! !! !! (Original) 予約がとりやすければ星5つ……！ コロナだから仕方ないけど！！！

A must-visit for Ghibli lovers! Tickets must be purchased in advance. When I went (Feb 2018), it was extremely crowded, and it made looking around and shopping in the gift shop a little difficult, but I would still rate it 5 stars. Also no photos allowed inside.

各种吉卜力动画场景再现，无数可爱的物品，完美！

リニューアル後に初めて来館。 昔はローソンチケットで1ヶ月前からのチケット予約購入でしたが、現在は1週間前からのスマホチケットの利用が可能に。コロナ禍で、状況が読めない日々が続いていたので、このような変更は個人的にはありがたいです。 現在の閉館時刻は16:30で、少し短めですが、人混みが以前より緩和されてて、お店や展示も見やすかったです。 シアター土星座では、現在水クモもんもんが上映されています。椅子に昔はつめるスタイルでしたが、いまは座席の所定の場所にどんぐりなどのシートがあり、そこに座る形で、ぎゅうぎゅうにつめたりすることはなくなりました。 立見もあるので、座りたい方は少し上映時間より早めに行かれることをオススメします。 期間限定なのか、人形劇もやっており、いつもよりお得感がありました。終わりに、記念のステッカーをいただくことができます！ 土産店の手提げ袋も有料化になりましたが、全サイズ100円統一で、持ち手の紐の色が異なります。商品毎にサイズが決められるわけではなく選べるので、嬉しかったです。個人的にMサイズが手持ちの荷物などもあわせて一番しっくりきました。 他にもシアターやインフォメーション、ブックショップでは、紋章のデザインの袋を購入することができます。こちらも100円ですが、ワンサイズ。マンマのMサイズより少し大きいくらいなので、重ねて持つこともできます。 三鷹駅からのバスは現在臨時時刻ダイヤです。開館時間は基本的に申し分ない本数ですが、お帰りの時間を確認しておくことをオススメしておきます。 例:毎時間の5分、25分、45分に帰りのバスが出ている感じ 歩ける方は、吉祥寺駅の方にも徒歩15分くらいで行けるので、天気の良い日はオススメです。バスの本数も多めです。警備員さんやスタッフさんは基本的に皆様親切で、電話対応も良かったです。 バリアフリーなので、車椅子やベビーカーの方も安心して楽しんでいただけます。(少し移動は狭めかもしれませんが…) 企画展が変わる度に訪れたい夢が詰まった場所です。絵や映画が好きな方にはたまらない場所で、何時間あっても足りないくらいですが、興味がない方は1時間くらいで飽きてしまうかも。おひとりさまは少なかったですが、おひとりさまでも楽しめると思います。家族連れ、友人同士、カップルが多かったです。 ちなみに写真は内部ではNGなので要注意。でもそういうこだわりも個人的には好きです。各所ステンドグラスなどは必見。

ジブリの世界に浸ることができて癒されます。子どもたちは巨神兵を見て喜んでいました。 チケットが予約制で、なかなか取りにくいのがもどかしいところです。やはり人気の場所ですね!

(Translated by Google) A place you can't miss if you like Ghibli movies ❗️ (Original) ジブリ映画好きなら絶対に外せない場所❗️

(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time before Corona. It's not a big facility, but I was drawn into the world of Ghibli and enjoyed returning to my childhood 💕 There was also an exhibition to shoot the movement of animation, and I see, it was a learning experience. I think it's a place that everyone, young and old, can enjoy 😊 (Original) コロナ前に初めて訪れました。 大きな施設ではありませんが、ジブリの世界に引き込まれて、童心に返って楽しめました💕 アニメの動きを撮影する展示もあり、なるほど〜❗️と勉強にもなりました。 老若男女みんなが楽しめる場所だと思います😊

This is dream come true! You can take a walk along the Sanpo no Doro that leads to the museum. In the autumn, orange and yellow leaves would fall and make it a breathtaking scene. The museum itself is adorable. It’s not too big, so you can probably finish the tour in 1-2 hours. At the workstation of the animators, you can see the original hand sketches for Ghibli movies. Highly recommend

Great little museum with really cool displays! The permanent display has some fascinating machines that create animation through unconventional methods. They have a no photo policy, but this also allows you to really just experience the museum rather than constantly snapping pictures. The Princess Mononoke stained glass doors was a super illegal photo, but it was the only real sign of our favorite Studio Ghibli movie, so I decided to break the no photo rule. I wish they had dedicated space to more of their movies. The kids loved it, though, as well as the adults, and the price was really affordable. Definite recommend!

My family and I visited in November 2019 and had a great time. Exploring the building and grounds was fun in itself, with weird and wonderful architecture and interesting rooms and paths to follow. The history and animation was well presented and we also had a nice meal at the on site Cafe. If you are a fan you will enjoy the gift shop... Lots of cool stuff!

Definitely a big hit for my 3-year-old. He enjoyed playing inside the cat bus with little black makkuro kurosuke, and refused to go home. 😅 Not so interesting for us, but as long as the little one has a good time, we are happy.

I feel bad giving this place only three stars since so many people love it but it wasn't really what I expected. It is very similar to the Little Prince museum in Hakone, except the Little Prince museum has a much bigger outdoor area. The Ghibli museum isn't really stroller friendly (and doesn't really look wheelchair friendly either (although there are elevators, so it is doable). We were told to put our stroller in the storage area. I wish I had brought the Ergo baby carrier. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more. Even on a Wednesday it was pretty crowded. The parking lot is currently being used for COVID vaccination, so finding parking was a bit of a pain. On top of that, it was raining. I would recommend going on a sunny day so that you can enjoy the outdoor area as well. It's not a bad museum, I just don't get what all the hype is about 🤷‍♀️ The gift shop is nice, but I don't want to pay just to go to a gift shop.

Very nice place to spend the day with friends or family while enjoying the amazing Ghibli designs and exhibitions. They charge the movie from time to time. The last time I visited it was "Mei and the little Nekobus" movie, it was a very heartwarming story. As kids would enjoy the games and riding the Nekobus, there are other exhibitions that can be equally enjoyable for all ages. You can find a shop inside that has limited items, while you can enjoy the café and other desserts, food stands that are available outside but right next to the museum. I recommend checking all the tiny details at the place, as you might find a surprise around each corner.

People who like Hayao Miyazaki must go to the mecca once in their lives!

Super cute place. Worth the visit. However tickets are hard to get because you have to jump through many hoops to get them...esp for foreigners. Smaller building than I thought it would be and your not allowed to take pictures inside either. There is a large park beside the museum that's nice.

A must to stop for Ghibli fans 🐰 both inside and outside are really nice. Inside the museum, there a little theater where you can watch a short Ghibli movie 🐭 There is a cafe, ☕️ where you can have a stop in the terrace, and the shop sells exclusive goodies you cannot find anywhere else. If the weather is nice, you can enjoy the roof garden and it’s statues 🤖

Awesome place if you love Ghibli My daughter loved it. She particularly enjoyed the layout of the place with lots of places to explore and fascinating little details hidden in the architecture. There is a really cool cat bus play area for kids It also has a really great gift shop with heaps of awesome merchandise from all different ghibli movies.

Highly recommended to anyone that loves Ghibli or animation in general. You have to book the ticket at least one week before, and if it’s the weekend, at least 2 weeks before. You can take pictures outside but no pictures allowed inside the museum.

Official Ghibli museum in Mitaka, Tokyo. You can only get in with reserved tickets (which goes on sale on their website at the end of the month for the next month) so make sure to book. You're not allowed photos for the inside but the outside areas are allowed. Also, strollers are not allowed unless the baby is sleeping on it. Once the baby wakes up, you have to fold it and park it near the entrance (don't leave your valuables in the stroller parking area) One thing for international guests… I didn't see any English descriptions for anything, everything was in Japanese.

A fantastic visit for any Ghibli fan! You MUST get tickets ahead of time online or at a convenient store. The museum seems small, but is surprisingly dense and you can walk through the same area several times and find some new detail each time. No photos allowed (except in some places) and your ticket includes admission for an original short movie you can only see at the museum. Well worth a visit!

You would love this place if you are a fan of Ghibli movies. A lot of original drawings and screenplays of movie scenes can be found here. The process of carton movie making is quite interesting. A short movie session is included. Even the museum restricts the numbers of people visiting per day, it’s still quite crowded. And the museum is small but has very unique layout. No photos inside.

I absolutely loved the museum. It was such a treat as a Ghibli fan. The exhibits are mostly of the art processes of the films. The gift shop was fun and magical. They screen a short film that changes every month or so, be sure to catch that! Also pictures inside the museum aren’t allowed. FYI: The tickets had to be booked a month in advance online and it took me 40 minutes to enter on the day itself as the website kept crashing so be prepared. There are limited time slots per day.

This is an absolutely amazing museum about animation. Especially if you like the year 2000 animate from Japan. You will be very familiar with the series and cartoon characters. The ticket from Ghibli Museum is very unique. Unfortunately, I can't take any photos inside the museum but recommend you go by yourself to experience it.

I don't speak Japanese, and I haven't seen any Ghibli movies (yet), but this was a very cool place to visit nonetheless. The artwork is, of course, excellent, but getting to see the rooms showing animation tools and reference books and such was very interesting.

Absolutely stunning... no photography allowed inside, so nothing can prepare you for the magic of this place. The building itself is amazing, the timber, stain glass windows, the architecture, the gardens... but the artwork, history and displays are phenomenal. I thoroughly recommend this place! Only downside was the gift shop was very crowded. The line up was out the door, so unfortunately we couldn’t buy any souvenirs.

A great museum for fans of Studio Ghibli. The museum is quite small but each room has a lot to look at! We spent around 3 hours looking around including getting a quick lunch from the cafe. You need to purchase tickets online in advance which is a bit of a pain to do as it’s quite competitive but it’s well worth it! There’s also a gift shop, a book shop and a cafe on site and admission includes a ticket to see a Ghibli short film in the cinema inside.

Magically detailed and beautiful, a MUST for fans, kids, and artists. There are many rooms that highlight the animation process, story boarding, coloring, and character movement. It seems like there are little secrets hidden everywhere you look. There is also a showing of an unreleased short film, for which you get a souvenir ticket stub that has see-through cells from a movie. Nice gift shop and cafe. No photos inside the building, only outside. You will need to book tickets one month in advance.

Can't do wrong, very reasonable ticket prices (just need to be super prepared to purchase ahead of time as tickets sell out as soon as they're released). Love that you can't take photos inside as it creates the excitement of the surprise. The ticket included a 20minute screening of a short film too.

Cute and interesting showcase of the different Ghibli movies, artwork and the making of those things! The museum in of itself did not feel all too big, but despite that we spent easily around two, three hours walking around! There is a showing of a short film which was nice, which I believe also changes from time to time. There is also a gift shop where you can buy Ghibli related merchandise, figurines, tea cups, etc. I thought there would be more figurines, but it was still pretty interesting and I bought some nice pins for ~550 yen each. There is a cafe inside the museum where you can buy pretty simple food that is somewhat overpriced (~700 yen for a meal), however that is to be expected. Therefore I would recommend eating before you enter. But other than that, great experience, would recommend!

This was so fun. My partner isn’t a fan of Ghibli, but they really enjoyed it as well. The museum is like a maze, and you’re encouraged to explore it however you like. The exhibits are very fun and interactive, and I really enjoyed walking through and being transported into Miyazaki’s workspaces. You can attend a showing of one of their short films as well. I do not speak Japanese, so I did not understand the film’s dialogue but it was still very entertaining. The food at the restaurant was delicious too. You’re not allowed to take photos or videos of the inside of the museum, so keep that in mind. The tickets were hard to get though as a foreigner. The website is not user-friendly at all and the whole website and system could be improved. I won’t let that impact my review of the place, but just something to know beforehand.

In this lifetime, we all should be grateful for the existence of Hayao Miyazaki films. Ghibli museum is a must for any fans of the film. Here you will able to re-live the memories of watching Ghibli films, understand the amount of work that is placed in creating these films, and best of all, shop for those Ghibli souvenirs you have always wanted. Just reminder, no photographs inside the building (outside is ok). The actual Museum is not big at all, 3 floors. However, one will find themselves immersed into the pieces found at the site. You get a cute little film strip (that I use as a book mark) as an entry ticket. Save that ticket, as it is needed to go watch the film (where they stamp the ticket). The feature film itself is definitely recommended! My suggestion to you is take your time. You can easily spend 2 hours here (or more). I started from upstairs and working my way down, and then taking the elevator back up to look a the gift shop. Warning: the gift shop is almost easily very packed. I did not dine here, but always heard the Strawhat cafe (shout out one piece!) is pretty good. The line ups appear to be pretty long as well. If you plan to exit the museum, note that there is no re-entry! So make sure you finish off completely before exiting. (the surrounding area is super walkable with a mixture of residency and nature). Overall Kel rating: ★★★★★/5 The good: Everything about Ghibli is awesome. The decent: I do wish we can take pictures, but I can understand why no photography is not allowed. The ugly: Anyone outside of Japan, the ticket system can be scarce and hard to get. Lineups can build up easily and can be a long wait.

The pinnacle of what a museum should be! The place looked brand new and there are all sorts of surprises for Ghibli and animation fans in general. Be prepared for a long line if you get there later but don't stress as going through the exhibits is very manageable in a few hours.

Worth to visit! If you are ghibli lovers / love animation visit ghibli museum! The inside museum is incredible exhibit (I can't tell much because maybe its confidential since visitors can't do documentation inside). You can only do documentation outside museum, please follow the their rules. For ticket, you can purchase in Lawson Japan. No you can't buy ticket outside Japan. Every 10th tickets available to purchase.

If you're a fan of Studio Ghibli, then this place is definitely worth checking out. One of the highlights of going here is watching some of the original short films in the Saturn theater exclusive only to Ghibli museum. And whilst you're there, you might as well visit the cafe and grab something to eat and drink.

We booked our tickets to the Ghibli Museum before we booked our flights to Japan. Spent 4 hours exploring everything the museum has to offer. Absolutely magical. Completely worth the visit. Be sure to watch the film in Saturn Theatre
