Ghibli Museum, Mitaka

ChildrenArtClosed · Opens 10amFrom £1000JR Mitaka Station (Chuo Line)

Das von Studio-Ghibli-Regisseur Hayao Miyazaki selbst entworfene Gebäude in Mitaka nahe dem Inokashira Park versteht sich bewusst als verwinkeltes „Museum, in dem man sich verläuft“. Es gibt keinen festen Rundgang, und die Raumaufteilung wird regelmäßig verändert. Zu den Höhepunkten zählen die Räume „Where a Film Is Born“, die das Studio eines Animators nachbilden, das Saturn Theater mit einem eigens produzierten Kurzfilm, der nirgendwo sonst zu sehen ist, der Cat Bus im Erdgeschoss für Kinder sowie ein fünf Meter großer Robot Soldier aus Das Schloss im Himmel, der den Dachgarten bewacht. Die Tickets müssen im Voraus für ein bestimmtes Datum und Zeitfenster gekauft werden – an der Tür gibt es keinen Verkauf.
