At the Saturn Theater, you can watch original short films that are exclusively shown here, with one film screened per period. The maze-like interior of the museum, filled with small windows, staircases, and intricate details, adds an adventurous feel to your visit.

If you're an animation fan traveling in Tokyo, you absolutely must visit 📍Ghibli Museum (三鷹の森ジブリ美術館) 🎨. This space feels like stepping directly into the world of director Hayao Miyazaki, with the building itself resembling a work of art 🏰. While photography is prohibited inside, allowing you to capture the experience only with your eyes and heart, the Totoro exhibits and short animation screenings are truly moving for any Ghibli fan 💕. After exploring the museum, I took a leisurely stroll through the nearby Inokashira Park (井の頭恩賜公園) 🌳. Famous for cherry blossoms in spring and stunning autumn foliage, the park offers a different charm in every season 🍁. You can even rent a boat on the lake, making it a perfect spot for a romantic date 🛶. Keep in mind that advance reservations are required for the Ghibli Museum, so it's best to book your tickets while planning your trip ⏰. Combining the magic of the museum with the tranquility of the park makes for a truly special day in Tokyo ✨.

The "Ghibli Museum, Mitaka Forest" is located inside Inokashira Park in Mitaka City, Tokyo. This sacred place, visited by Ghibli fans from around the world, offers exhibits reminiscent of the movie settings, exclusive short films that can only be seen here, and limited-edition gourmet food and merchandise. When you enter the museum grounds, Totoro welcomes you. But actually, this is a fake reception. Director Hayao Miyazaki created it as a feature to provide a little surprise and laughter to visitors, aiming for a museum that both adults and children can enjoy. There are also stained glass windows inspired by Ghibli works. Photography inside the Ghibli Museum is unfortunately not allowed. If you want to take Ghibli-style photos, climb the spiral staircase and visit the robot soldier on the rooftop. There is a robot soldier with a somewhat melancholic atmosphere. 📍Location: 1-1-83 Shimorenjaku, Mitaka City, Tokyo (Inside the western garden of Tokyo Metropolitan Inokashira Park) 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Last admission: 4:00 PM)

Step into the enchanting world of Studio Ghibli at this incredible museum that many fans dream of visiting. Here are some of my tips to enjoy your day～ 🎫 Tickets are 1000¥ and go on sale on the 10th of each month at 10am. It is DIFFICULT to get tickets, but keep refreshing the page and you’ll get through eventually! 🚇 The museum is located in Mitaka, in the outskirts of Tokyo. Take the JR Chuo Line to JR Mitaka Station. Use the South Exit and walk 15 minutes to the museum. 🏡 The museum itself was designed by Hayao Miyazaki and it feels like stepping into a Ghibli movie. There are so many details and hidden references to the films! 🎨 Inside the museum, most areas are photography restricted ～ so you really have to go and see for yourself! There are many rough sketches and storyboards of ideas for Ghibli movies, it’s all so interesting and exciting to read about. 🎥 The Saturn Theatre shows short Studio Ghibli films that cannot be seen anywhere else. Entrance is included with your ticket. I got to watch ‘Boro the Caterpillar’ and it was so cute! 🌳 As you go outside and up the spiral staircase, there is a life-size 5 metre tall statue of a robot soldier from Castle in the Sky. It’s a perfect photo opportunity and many people line up to get their shot! 🌟 To finish off your day at the Ghibli Museum, check out the Straw Hat Cafe and the souvenir shop. I truly had a wonderful day here and I would definitely go again! #mytravelhacks #localguides #japantrip #japan #tokyo #tokyotrip #ghiblimuseum

#tokyospots One warm afternoon in Tokyo, we wandered into Edo Monogatari, a quiet corner of the city that felt like stepping back into old Japan. Wooden facades, narrow lantern-lit lanes, and tiny shops selling handmade combs and indigo textiles gave the place a soft, timeless charm. We sampled delicate wagashi under the shade of noren curtains, the sweet bean filling melting coolly against the summer heat. Nearby, an old shamisen player added a tender soundtrack that seemed to drift straight from the past. 🎐🏮🍡 A few days later, we ventured out to the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, where leafy paths led us to bright stained-glass windows alive with Totoro and Howl. Inside, rooms overflowed with sketches, miniature sets, and hidden staircases that felt like a playful secret. We lingered by the rooftop garden where the giant robot from Laputa stood peacefully watching over the trees, cicadas buzzing in the warm afternoon air. 🌿🎨🤍 Evenings found us in tiny kissaten near Sangenjaya, sipping iced coffee while locals read worn paperbacks under soft lamps. Tokyo’s neon seemed far away here, replaced by a gentler summer rhythm one of quiet conversations, wooden floors that creaked underfoot, and little discoveries that made the city feel beautifully personal. 🌆☕📚 #travel #familytravel

Hiroshima → Okayama - **Shinkansen**: → Hiroshima Station → Okayama Station (30 minutes, ¥6,000) → Buy the "Hiroshima-Okayama Shinkansen + Exhibition Ticket" combo for ¥1,500 off! - **Bus**: → Hiroshima Bus Center → Okayama Station (2 hours, ¥2,800), cheap but slow, don’t try if your legs aren’t strong~ 2. Takamatsu → Okayama - **JR Limited Express**: → Takamatsu Station → Okayama Station (1 hour, ¥3,300) → **Money-saving tip**: Take the local train (2 hours, ¥1,900), but it’s a pain to sit for that long... - **Driving**: → Rent a car for about ¥6,000/day, drive straight over the Seto Ohashi Bridge (1.5-hour drive) --- ### 🎨 Must-See Exhibition Spots: Hong Kong Girls’ Top Photo List 1. Ride the Totoro Bus! "The world’s first **1:1 giant Totoro bus**, and you can actually sit on it and pretend to be Mei! The key: **the fur all over really looks like the cartoon, and if you stand outside, you’ll notice the scenery outside the windows keeps changing 🥹 I was so moved I almost cried. Went back to the hotel and immediately watched Totoro again 😝 2. Howl’s Moving Castle Mechanism Puzzle "Discover how the castle ‘walks and moves’! The exhibition has interactive models where you press buttons to see the gears turn, and how Howl’s Moving Castle was built from scratch. It’s really touching. There’s also an interview revealing **Miyazaki father and son’s secret quarrels** ~🔥" They are both true artists. People always think Miyazaki Hayao is the strictest, but looking at the manuscripts, his son’s drawings are really beautiful. 3. Top Secret Manuscripts + The Cat Returns Original Drafts "First public display of **The Cat Returns storyboard drafts**, showing the original design of the Baron! Also, collaboration notes between Miyazaki Hayao and his son Goro, with tons of hilarious doodles ~😹" 4. Totoro “Toilet Paper Countryside” Model "Perfectly recreated the Kusakabe house!

If Miyazaki isn’t a detail freak, no one is. 5. Miyazaki Park Design Blueprints "Get a sneak peek at the **unreleased areas of Aichi Ghibli Park**! Put on a headset and step right into the ‘Bathhouse’ from Spirited Away ~🎭" --- ### 🛍️ Souvenir Shopping: Limited Edition Must-Buys - **Must Grab No.1**: T-shirts - **Hidden gems**: Lots of beautiful fridge magnets and coasters **Hong Kong Girl Tips 💅**: → Rush to the souvenir shop as soon as it opens!

They really didn’t even have time to eat. Give this Hong Kong girl lots of hearts, she took tons of photos. Actually, there are many places in the background you wouldn’t recognize. It’s really worth going, Hong Kong girls really got teary-eyed. #MiyazakiHayao #DirectorMiyazaki #OkayamaMiyazakiGarden
