What a great experience! Such a cool and wonderful place. It was busy but not too crowded, and you can explore it at your own pace. I would highly recommend to any Ghibli lover! Suitable for all ages! The whole place is themed really nicely, you feel like you are in one of the filmst plus you get to see a never seen before short film in the cinema there!
A beautiful museum that makes you feel like you're stepping into someone's home. No photos are allowed inside but you'll find exhibitions of animators and painters desks, camera riggs and a wide variety of rotoscopes. It's a fascinating space that encourages exploration. The giant cat bus play area was a highlight for my daughter. The cinema shows exclusive short films that rotate on a monthly basis, we had a story of preschoolers building a boat and meeting a whale, it was glorious! The cafe is tight in seats and is very popular. The surrounding area is beautiful too.
If yoi a fan of the Ghibli studio films then you will enjoy this museum! We booked a private tour who brought the tickets for us. We then met up in a group and proceeded inside. Obviously you can't take photos inside but me and my wife had a blast. If only the place is a little short it was still great fun.
There is also a really great park near with lots of toliets.
The museum also has good toliet facilities
Amazing, wonderful and immersive experience. The whole place felt like stepping into a Ghibli film. It was whimsical and charming right down to the smallest detail. Disney can eat it's heart out. This was storytelling at its finest. We would go again in a heart beat and we would absolutely recommend to any fans of Ghibli studios. My only complaint is that the museum is not very English friendly. But in a way that almost contributes to the experience; inviting one to be present and in the moment and to enjoy the art as it is meant to be enjoyed.
One of my dream museums ❤️
Please buy your ticket a month in advance! They don't sell ticket in the museum.
The museum was beyond my imagination. The facade was very distinctive and beautiful. The moment I descended the stairs, the museum sucked you into the whimsical, beautiful world of Studio Ghibli and its creations. Being a fan since very young, I was so happy I cried in joy quietly.
The interior was oh so mesmerizing. My favorite part was the lift. When you come here, please use it at least once :)
Do not forget to watch the special, only-at-the-museum short film screening! It was only in Japanese but maybe even with no understanding of the language, you could still enjoy the movie :)
I met the robot from Laputa as well in the outdoor park at the top of the building. There were some queueing, but it was worth the wait!
I do recommend this museum to everyone that is coming to Tokyo!
