At Ghibli Museum, you can enjoy the world of Ghibli at this reasonable price, and you can also enjoy short animation. Entrance is 4 times a day, and the time is set for 2 hours from 10 o’clock.

Step

to purchase a ticket for Ghibli Museum

There are 3 ways to purchase Mitaka Forest Museum at Lawson.

The easiest way to buy a ticket for Ghibli Museum at LAWSON is to buy it in front of the store. LAWSON has a terminal called Loppi, where you can purchase tickets for concerts and events across the country.

The procedure to purchase an admission ticket with Loppi is as follows.

You can get the ticket by taking the application ticket to the LAWSON counter and paying the price on the spot.

Buy from the Internet
If you don’t have a LAWSON nearby, or if you want to make a purchase after checking the available date and time, I recommend you to buy a ticket on the Internet. The procedure to purchase a ticket for Ghibli Museum on the Internet is as follows.

Buy by phone
You need to be careful about how to buy a phone on the day after the ticket release date and the day after the release date. The release date is “0570 – 084 – 633 (10:00 – 24:00)”, and after the day of release, “0570 – 084 – 003” is the phone number. You can’t call from abroad, so you need to be careful.

How to Access Ghibli Museum

Ghibli Museum is located in a green place of Inokashira Park Saionji, and the nearest station is JR Mitaka Station. It can be accessed by walking on foot or by community bus from Mitaka Station. If it’s a community bus, it will arrive in about 5 minutes, but it’s convenient, but I recommend you to walk leisurely on a beautiful trail on a sunny day.

Spots for each spot in Ghibli Museum

Ghibli Museum provides a wonderful space where you can remind childhood where the world of Ghibli is projected, and you can enjoy the experience of looking back your heart when you are a child. There are many places to look for, so please try to find various surprises and discoveries in addition to the places you can see in this article.

Entrance

At the entrance of Ghibli Museum, Totoro and Makkurokurosuke welcome to the place labeled “Ticket Vending Machines”, giving you the impression that you came to the world of Ghibli. It is written as “Ticket Vending Machines,” but you can’t actually buy a ticket here.

The reception will teach Totoro, so let’s go to the white building of the red entrance. When you walk from the entrance to the reception, the green nature of Inokashira park will soothe your daily fatigue.

There are cute designs in the lamps and windows in the building, and there are some places where the character of Ghibli is written. Looking around a beautiful window glass while looking for a favorite character is also one of the ways to enjoy it.

Many characters are depicted on the ceiling, and various characters such as Kikis Delivery Service Kiki and Nausicaä who ride on the Airplane Maiden, which appears in the Nausicaä of Valley of the wind, are depicted. It is very worthwhile to look around just at the entrance, and it is a space that I love for those who love Ghibli.

You can get a ticket at the reception, but this is a 35 mm film, which can be used for movie screenings. You can get until you get it, but you don’t know what to do with it.

Central Hall

It is a place where the center hall is located immediately after the reception, and the open space which is open from the first basement floor to the second floor is created. Ceiling doors are spinning around the ceiling, and there is a picture that ponyo swims like a fun swimmer, so it’s a must-see.

The central hall, which inspires adventurous, like a spiral staircase, various entrances, and so on, brings back the sight of a child’s mind, and returns it to the mind of a child looking for a fun treasure in curiosity.

Permanent Exhibition Room

A permanent exhibition room, the Place where movies are created, consists of 5 rooms, where you can experience the flow of a single movie by navigating around each room.

The pencil, many illustrations, sketches, and storyboard that actually used to create a pencil and a lot of illustrations give you a glimpse of the real reality of making a Ghibli movie.

Planning Exhibition Room

The planning and exhibition room is an exhibition room focusing on specific works, production studios, writers and so on. The exhibition period is 1 years, and it varies depending on the plan such as 3 months or six months. By looking at the planned exhibition that changes periodically, you can learn more about the world of Ghibli.

There are many fans who visit Ghibli Museum many times, so it’s interesting that this project exhibits are interesting.

Neko Bus Room

where cat bus dream comes true

As the name suggests, “Neko bus room” is a place where you can ride on a cat bus that comes out of a “Tonarino totoro”. If you are a “Tonarino totoro” fan, you can get a free adventure by taking a ride on a cat bus that you want to think about at one time.

The soft space is a neko bus that you can imagine, and it is packed with the charm of adults from adults to children by just looking at it. You can actually board a neko bus only at elementary school children or younger, so you should be able to enjoy it by looking at it from the outside.

“The World of Laputa” that Meets your pure heart

When you go up the spiral staircase and go on the roof of the museum, you will see a robot soldier who appears in the sky of a castle. Like the scene that appears in the movie theater, the grass stands quietly in the grass, where grass grows, and it plays a role that protects the Ghibli Museum.

After passing through a robot soldier and moving further into the world of Laputa, you can find a flight stone that is carved with a letter of Laputa. It is a must-see area for laputa fan.

There are many convenient and cute items that can be used in everyday life such as Totoro’s ornament, pin badges, handkerchiefs, stickers and so on, and it’s a nice shop for those who like Ghibli.

Cafe Mugiwara Bosi
