What people say

"The museum is situated in Inokashira Park in Mitaka, easily accessible from central Tokyo via train. It's about a 15-minute walk from Mitaka Station, or you can take a bus from the station to the museum. Admission to the Ghibli Museum is by advance reservation only. Tickets are often in high demand and should be purchased well in advance of your visit. Tickets are not sold at the museum itself. You can buy tickets online or in a convenience store if you're already in Japan. You have to plan your visit ahead however. On the 10th of each month the sale opens up and you can get a ticket for the next month."
"Tickets must be purchased in advance to enter. Iโ€™ve included a link to the English website to purchase tickets ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Photography and videography is not allowed while inside the museum, and that makes it EXTRA engaging and magical. Tiny doors and little details hide all over this museum, which is much more like an art exhibition. The gift shop is usually packed, but there are lots of items for fans to buy, including dishware, toys, stationary, and the movies with English and Japanese on DVD."
"4/5 Good to go (non Ghibli fans) 5/5 Must go (Ghibli fans) | The Ghibli Museum is a must-visit destination for any Studio Ghibli fan or animation enthusiast. From the whimsical architecture to the unique exhibits, visitors can immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Studio Ghibli and gain a deeper appreciation for the art of animation. Note: Please be respectful, you aren't allowed to take video/pictures in some parts of the museum. Highly recommend pre-purchasing your tickets."
