“Tickets sell out within minutes, so please read on to make sure you get preferred date and time. Entry tickets for the following month go on sale at 10:00 am Japan time on the 10th of each month. Open the Lawson Ticket website from the links section at 9:45 am JST and enter the queue. Be prepared to wait for hours and don't get discouraged if your place is in the thousands — there is a chance even if you're 20,000th. Good luck!”

“If you were unlucky with the tickets process or simply didn't know how hard it is to get them, you still can visit the museum with a full-day bus tour by Sunrise Tours JTB. They sell out fast too though.”

“One of the highlights of the Ghibli Museum is the rooftop garden, featuring a life-sized Catbus from "My Neighbor Totoro." It's a delightful spot for photos and offers a charming view of the surrounding area.”

    The Ghibli Museum is a magical and whimsical destination, a tribute to the works of Studio Ghibli — one of Japan's most renowned animation studios known for creating beloved animated films such as "My Neighbor Totoro," "Spirited Away," and "Princess Mononoke."

    The museum itself is a work of art, designed by Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki. Its architecture and interior are reminiscent of scenes from Studio Ghibli films, providing you with an immersive experience from the moment you arrive.

    Inside, you'll find a variety of exhibits dedicated to the animation process, showcasing the studio's creative journey from initial concepts to the final product. There are also exclusive short films screened at the museum, which you can't see anywhere else.
