Ghibli Museum, Mitaka

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

Progettato personalmente dal regista di Studio Ghibli Hayao Miyazaki come un «museo in cui ci si perde» volutamente labirintico, questo edificio di Mitaka, vicino al parco di Inokashira, non ha un percorso prestabilito e modifica regolarmente la propria configurazione. Tra i punti salienti figurano le sale «Where a Film Is Born», che ricreano lo studio di un animatore; il Saturn Theater, dove viene proiettato un cortometraggio originale non disponibile altrove; il Cat Bus al piano terra, riservato ai bambini; e un Robot Soldier alto cinque metri, tratto da Laputa - Castello nel cielo, che sorveglia il giardino sul tetto. I biglietti devono essere acquistati in anticipo, per una data e una fascia oraria specifiche: non vengono venduti all’ingresso.
