Tips from the community
The Ghibli Museum was created to celebrate all things Studio Ghibli: memorabilia from Howl’s Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, and more. The indoor exhibits showcase the animation and creative process of Hayao Miyazaki, providing true insight into the careful details and thought put into every masterpiece. While the museum may seem like it skews towards a younger audience, don’t you worry: there’s something for everyone on Ghibli Museum’s playful grounds.
Pro Tip: It can be tricky getting tickets to the Ghibli Museum. You can either order the tickets 3 months in advance online overseas (here’s a guide), or purchase tickets at any Lawsons in Tokyo on the 10th of the month prior to the month you intend to visit the museum.

Located within the vast grounds of Inokashira Park, this museum features all things Studio Ghibli, including major hits such as My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Howl’s Moving Castle. The museum offers a combination of a children’s museum, technology museum, and fine arts museum — one of the best art museums in Tokyo. There are several replicas of movie characters and objects, such as the iconic Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro, to snap Insta pics with.
