Visiting Tokyo’s Ghibli Museum is an entertaining and enchanting way to spend a day, particularly if you are traveling with children.
This is no stuffy old-fashioned museum, but rather a celebration of Japan’s Studio Ghibli film studio, which produced many of the country’s most outstanding animated movies.
The main exhibit in the museum is dedicated to demonstrating the art of animation using over-sized mechanical contraptions. Other exhibits include interactive replicas of popular film sets and a mini-theater on the ground floor where you can watch animated shorts. English-speaking guides are a bonus.
Tickets to visit the Ghibli Museum are very limited and you will need to book well in advance of your visit.
