In Tokyo's Mitaka lies the Ghibli Museum, overseen by Director Hayao Miyazaki. Studio Ghibli, established in 1985, is a Japanese animation studio known for planning and producing films primarily directed by Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki. Its portfolio includes celebrated works like "My Neighbor Totoro," "Castle in the Sky," "Kiki's Delivery Service," "Spirited Away," and "Howl's Moving Castle," representing some of Japan's most iconic movies. The museum's slogan, "Let's lose our way, together," reflects its layout, which lacks a set route, encouraging both adults and children to wander and discover their own special spots within.

Highlights

  • Totoro sits at the entrance! You can see it even without a ticket.
  • Inside the museum, "Where a Film is Born" exhibit shows how a single animated movie comes to life and reaches completion.
  • The Saturn Theater within the museum screens short animated films produced by Studio Ghibli exclusively for the museum.
  • There are various intriguing mechanisms and wonders located throughout the museum's architecture.
  • If you're tired from all the fun, take a break at the "Straw Hat Café." Order a cold drink, and it comes with a real straw straw.
  • Photography is not allowed inside the museum.

    美術館建築外觀本身就是一個藝術品，超好拍照，但因為門票很搶手，必須提早預約購買，且必須按照所購買時間進去還有限定時間，所以去參觀必須抓好時間!

  • 何廷皓

    出了車站用走路要花20幾分鐘左右，搭公車前往會比較方便。

  • Liao Jun

    就算不是宮崎駿粉絲也值得一看。

  • 梁靜怡

    乾脆不要開放參觀，門票要預約購買，現場又要排隊，限制一大堆。

  • 苗苗

    很精緻的美術館，宮崎駿動漫迷不可錯過。
