Along with accessory Comic-con and E3, visiting the Studio Ghibli Building in Japan completes the Holy Trinity of Geek Pilgrimages. The alternate museum, alone nine years old, is a attestation to Studio Ghibli’s acceptance in Japan and about the world. The museum, advised by Ghibli arch Hayao Miyazaki, is a bit on the baby side—only two hours to absolutely explore—but back it is such a accepted allure tickets are generally awash out for as abundant as a ages in advance. After cat-and-mouse said ages I was assuredly able to go to Inokashira Park in Tokyo and acquaintance it for myself. Hit the jump for more.
The Studio Ghibli building is aloof as active and bright as the movies aloft which it is based. Bisected playground, bisected actual almanac the building has a little article for everyone. From the capital access visitors are directed bottomward a flight of stairs to the capital floor. Stain-glass pictures of the best notable Ghibli characters anatomy the walk—just a aperitive adumbration of what is in store. Ghibli movies in Japan are aloof like Disney films in America, everyone, adolescent and old alike, has apparent them and has a admired cine or character. It is not aberrant to see families abnormality the building with parents aloof as aflame to be there as their children. And boy, are there a lot of children. Their aflame choir rang out from every bend and they whirled about about like the susuwatari from My Neighbor Totoro. I anticipate the alone way I would accept tripped over added kids would be if the Jonas Brothers had been arena a alms concert in the garden.

The architecture of the three-story building is like that of a absurd house. Tightly-spiraled staircases, abstruse passage-ways and an alfresco garden with a behemothic bean apprentice can are all to be found. The aboriginal attic is the best acceptable in its design. There is a baby screening allowance breadth a circling of abbreviate activated films can be apparent as able-bodied as a ample allowance depicting the nuances of cel-shaded action through displays on light, miniatures and hand-drawings.
The capital affection on the additional attic is a life-size amusement of the action branch at Studio Ghibli. A sprawling blend of artwork, figurines and pencils, the branch looks as if it ability bounce to activity at any moment a la Merlin’s allowance from The Sword in the Stone. An abnormally able knick-knack was a miniature of the action branch begin aural the approved sized one. Some genitalia were bankrupt off but others arrive a walkthrough and alike independent the aboriginal storyboards and abstraction art from some of the films. The capital affectation changes depending on what blur has aloof been released. This agency that The Borrower Arrietty took centermost date (click actuality for my review). The additional and third floors additionally accept ample playrooms that, sadly, are carefully for kids.
["600"]The alfresco breadth is additionally breach into three levels admitting it has a bit beneath to action in the way of sights. Exiting from the top attic will accompany you face to apathetic face with Lune from The Cat Returns. The basal akin has a anatomic able-bodied which can be acclimated for pumping water…and that’s about it. In the average is the Ghibli themed bistro which has appropriate candy and treats if you are accommodating to delay in band for a bit. The appropriate affection of the additional attic takes a aciculate eye to find—a access aloof about hidden by leaves that leads to a rooftop garden breadth a behemothic apprentice bronze from Castle in the Sky waits patiently to accept its account taken.
Tickets to Ghibli building can be bought overseas, added advice on that can be begin here. During the summer tickets are generally awash out weeks in After spending a fun brace of hours exploring the abode (and finishing off with a behemothic allotment of birthmark shortcake complete with a Totoro flag) all I can is if you are anytime about Tokyo and accept a little added time accomplish abiding to analysis out the Ghibli museum—you will not be disappointed. Or in the vernacular, Zehi, mite kudasai ne!
