A charming museum centered on the world of Studio Ghibli’s cherished animation.
MK Guide Recommends
Ghibli Museum is tucked into the residential edge of Mitaka, offering an immersive introduction to Studio Ghibli’s working world rather than a conventional exhibition space. Designed by Hayao Miyazaki, the museum unfolds through irregular rooms, stairways, and sightlines that reward curiosity over linear viewing. Exhibits focus on process—storyboards, sketches, mechanical studies, and animation principles—while exclusive short films screen on-site only. Architecture and display are inseparable, with whimsical forms, hidden details, and rooftop installations reinforcing a sense of play and craft. More workshop than shrine, the Ghibli Museum functions as a guided drift through imagination, inviting visitors to slow down, look closely, and re-enter the logic of hand-drawn worlds.
