I had vague memories of my visit to the Ghibli Museum 7 years ago; I went for work and I think I didn’t really enjoy my time there. Last week I had the opportunity to visit it again, without rushing, enjoying every corner like if we were children. I loved it, it made me forget that I was in Tokyo, it felt like some kind of travel to the universe of Ghibli animation movies.
Here you have information about the museum, how to get there, and how to buy tickets.
Ghibli Museum from the entrance
I couldn’t avoid taking pictures of the colorful stained glass windows of the museum
Ghibli Museum from one of the gardens
There are decoration details even in the ceilings
Movie sketches
A replica of the office of Hayao Miyazaki. He likes to be surrounded by miniatures and toys to find inspiration while working.
Totoro bus station
A giant Totoro!
The bus windows on the way back were also decorated with Ghibli art
A bought a Ghibli Museum special edition moleskine
And also this Totoro!
And to finish a picture to remember the visit! 🙂

Life is incomplete until you have gone up on the roof to have your picture taken with the doomed Raputa robot.
I’ve only visited the Studio Ghibli Museum once but already count myself lucky for having done that. Walked to it from the train station as I couldn’t wait to get there and the bus looked full. Alas, I think I also missed the Totoro bus stop in the process! 🙁
A question: were there any Ponyo-themed parts of the museum? (I ask because I visited before it and “Tales from Earth Sea” were released.)
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I have seen all Ghibli movies, Totoro is my favorite.
@YTSL nothing Ponyo related, only some drafts on the walls in the rooms where they explain the process of making a movie
