    Arrive early and head straight for the Straw Hat Cafe before it gets crowded to avoid the massive wait. Be sure to check out the Saturn Theatre for original short animation limited for the Museum!

    Look in every corner, nook and cranny... or you'll miss something! Be sure to see the show in the theater (show up early to get in line) bc they are usually exclusives you won't be able to see again!

    What an experience! You don’t have to be a Ghibli/Miyazaki fan to enjoy this museum. It disconnects you from reality and takes you to a lovely place. Won’t be my last visit for sure 👍🏼

    The collection is tiny yet beautiful. The only way to get tickets from overseas is asking someone in Japan to buy them for you. But be aware that they’ll ask at the gate for the ID of who bought them.

    It's quite small but very interesting and worth going especially if you're a fan, some really cool insight into the animation process using traditional techniques

    You can easily walk here from Mitaka station. Plan to spend at least 3 hours getting lost here. There's lots that you won't see if you don't look close enough ;)

    Adorable and beautiful museum! Aimed at children and Japanese speakers, but all fans of the studio will enjoy it. I feel like I learned a lot about the process behind the films.

    Great for the Studio Ghibli fan! Arrived at 10am and short wait (15-20min) to get in. Make sure you buy your ticket beforehand (website has details, can buy from Lawson) as there aren't any door sales

    Very cool museum. Quirky layout of the building, giant Cat Bus inside to sit in, plus you get to see a short Ghibli film only available at the museum.

    We had a wonderful tome, cute museum, good gift shop and you can attend a show. Make sure you queue 10 mins early for the show

    As much as I want to love this place with all my heart: its lack of crowd control and lack of English information makes me a bit sad. Go early! Head for the gift shop first to shop in peace.

    Brilliant experience that will allow you to become little child again. Prefectly explained the background of how the movies are created. If you're a Ghibli fan, it's an absolute must!

    I got my ticket through JTB in NYC before I went to Tokyo. I took the Keio-Inokashira line and walked through Inokashira Park. The museum was an incomparable delight. A "must see"!!

    The actual exhibit space isn't as big as the huge building would suggest but nonetheless this is a must see for any Ghibli fan. Great to see all the sketches and models!

    This is an incredible place for all the lovers of Studio Ghibli's work! I got completely lost while exploring the museum. What brought me back was the closing bell....

    Museum showcasing the art, design & innovation of the famous studio. Must-do pilgrimage for fans. Book the tickets online through Lawson, which is open for booking 1 month before.

    Electronic confirmation is acceptable even if you forgot the paper version as long as you have your passport (for online & non-Japanese folks).

    Visit here in Japan, like visiting Disney Land in America. Awesome place for those who love Japanese animation industry. Sort of classic.

    Make sure to book your tickets plenty of time in advance. They do not sell tickets at the door plus they have a limited amount of daily tickets for international distribution.

    A great place for fans, especially with children. The Cafe is cute but has a long line during peak times.

    Be early if you're planning to have lunch there to avoid the long queue which could take up to an hour. Otherwise, takeaway counter is quick, with a simple menu.

    Such a cute building! It's a dream come true! Only if there were more exhibition of more Miyazaki's work, it'd have been perfect!

    Take the train to Mitaka, take the south exit and you can easily walk there or take the Ghibli Bus for ¥300 roundtrip right outside Mitaka Station.

    When it gets crowded, do as the locals do and push into tight spaces to see the cool exhibits.

    Definitely worth the money and trek to Mitaka. The city bus from Mitaka station stops at stop #9 and costs 200 per adult one-way

    Get admission tickets in advance. Try to be there at 9:30am to avoid line ups. Do not miss straw hat cafe. It opens at 11am, be the first group there as the cafe fills up fast.

    A must go if you're a Ghibli or Hayao fan. There are small items or painting that will remind you of his creations at every corner :)
