### 🎨 Must-See Exhibition Spots: Hong Kong Girls’ Top Photo List
1. Ride the Totoro Bus!
"The world’s first **1:1 giant Totoro bus**, and you can actually sit on it and pretend to be Mei! The key: **the fur all over really looks like the cartoon, and if you stand outside, you’ll notice the scenery outside the windows keeps changing 🥹
I was so moved I almost cried.
Went back to the hotel and immediately watched Totoro again 😝
2. Howl’s Moving Castle Mechanism Puzzle
"Discover how the castle ‘walks and moves’! The exhibition has interactive models where you press buttons to see the gears turn, and how Howl’s Moving Castle was built from scratch. It’s really touching. There’s also an interview revealing **Miyazaki father and son’s secret quarrels** ~🔥"
They are both true artists. People always think Miyazaki Hayao is the strictest, but looking at the manuscripts, his son’s drawings are really beautiful.
3. Top Secret Manuscripts + The Cat Returns Original Drafts
"First public display of **The Cat Returns storyboard drafts**, showing the original design of the Baron! Also, collaboration notes between Miyazaki Hayao and his son Goro, with tons of hilarious doodles ~😹"
4. Totoro “Toilet Paper Countryside” Model
"Perfectly recreated the Kusakabe house! Even the **toilet paper rolls** in the Kusakabe family’s bathroom are insanely detailed. There’s a hidden spot: open the cupboard and you’ll see the dust bunnies! ✨"
Look closely at the photos, you’ll see the houses are super detailed, even the lighting simulates real countryside shadows.
If Miyazaki isn’t a detail freak, no one is.
5. Miyazaki Park Design Blueprints
"Get a sneak peek at the **unreleased areas of Aichi Ghibli Park**! Put on a headset and step right into the ‘Bathhouse’ from Spirited Away ~🎭"

Hong Kong girls even took a ¥2,000 taxi to the wrong place, then rushed back to the city center just to see this Miyazaki exhibition.
They really didn’t even have time to eat.
Give this Hong Kong girl lots of hearts, she took tons of photos.
Actually, there are many places in the background you wouldn’t recognize.
It’s really worth going, Hong Kong girls really got teary-eyed.

Visiting the **Ghibli Museum** was a truly magical experience. It showcases the artistry behind animation, highlighting how Ghibli, a pioneer in the field, created beautiful films without modern computers. Seeing the meticulous process of hand-drawing and painting each frame was awe-inspiring.The museum's architecture and interior perfectly capture the whimsical and mysterious essence of the Ghibli world. While photography isn't allowed, this enhances the experience, urging fans to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the exhibits.Each entry ticket resembles a film strip from the animations, making it a beautiful keepsake of the visit. It’s no surprise that the Ghibli Museum remains a favorite among locals and tourists, with tickets often being hard to come by. Overall, my visit was unforgettable and a must-see for any Ghibli fan!
It’s a really amazing place where you can slowly explore the ghibli world!! It’s really worth the money!! Thanks trip.com for allowing me have this chance to enter this museum as the tickets were really hard to get! Please book early to avoid disappointment as I only had 2 hours there which is definitely not enough!!
It's worth a visit! In fact, it's also very convenient to go by yourself, but it's more comfortable to have a tour guide. Get off at JR Mitaka Station and change buses to the entrance of the museum. I was very lucky to encounter the "What kind of life do you want to live" hand-painted manuscript special exhibition this time. Although the museum is small, it has rich content~ Especially if you like Miyazaki's paintings, you must come and have a look~
The Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo is an animation museum full of fantasy. Here is a detailed introduction about it: Basic Information - Location: Located in Mitaka City, Tokyo, Japan, in the shadow of the "Mitaka Forest". - Opening hours: 10:00-18:00, closed every Tuesday, but if it is a statutory holiday, it will be closed the next day. - Ticket information: 1,000 yen for adults and college students; 700 yen for high school and junior high school students; 400 yen for elementary school students; 100 yen for infants (over 4 years old); free for children under 4 years old. All tickets must be booked in advance. Venue Features - Architectural style: Designed by Hayao Miyazaki himself, the exterior of the building is full of fairy tale colors, and the colorful walls are covered with ivy, like a dream castle. - Layout of the museum: There is a Saturn Theater on the first floor, which shows Ghibli short films. On the second floor, there is the "TriHawks" reading room and the "Grandfather's Room" designed according to the artist's studio, which displays original paintings, manuscripts, etc. On the third floor, there is the Totoro Bus House and the "MammaAluto" store.

You can also take the community bus on the Mitaka Forest Ghibli Museum Circular Route or the Star Academy Route. - Self-driving: There is no dedicated parking lot in the museum, and parking in the surrounding area is relatively inconvenient. It is recommended to take public transportation.
One of the most anticipated scenic spots on the trip to Japan, Cheng booked tickets very early, and only grabbed the latest slot. It's a pity that it's too late to visit the rhythm. I'm sure I'll go there again in the future. The main hall can't take pictures either. There are all kinds of beautiful things in it. You can see the process of animation production intuitively. You can see all kinds of familiar animation characters. You can also see the work of God's re-emergence in advance: caterpillar and pineapple. Also see animated food exhibition, very good, watching animation from childhood to see various forms of display, all kinds of touches can only be personally experienced. Cat Bus can only be played by children. It's very happy to take my daughter with me. Photographs can be taken outdoors. Don't miss the Sky City Robot on the top floor. You can go to the cafe if you have time.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk after getting off the subway, or you can take a bus directly. We walked there because we had to enter at 2 pm. I bought the tickets online about a month in advance and picked them up at the self-service machine at Lawson convenience store, which was very convenient. My husband and children are both fans of Hayao Miyazaki. The art museum is not big, just a small three-story building. It feels like a castle in a comic. There are many manuscripts inside. The surrounding figures are super cute. I bought two Totoro cups, Kiki's Delivery Service puzzles 🧩, and some small gadgets. The prices are not cheap, so I had to hold back.
I specially arranged this tripIt's the Ghibli Art Museum of San FranciscoWatch someone else's head share on YouTube beforeJust want to come and see it for myself 👀Miyazaki should be everyone's childhood memoriesEven accompany us to grow up 🥰First of all, tickets must be booked on the official website firstIt's a ticket grab. It's a time to grab too.So come be sure to remember to grab tickets early!! ️Tickets for the next month are sold on the 10th of every monthDetails can be seen on the official website 🔎This is actually recommend everyone can find a proxy to buy ticketsBecause the official website is in Japanese, you may not understand or familiar with it if you buy itBut remember to find a reasonable fee and super commercial ticket collection process is clearly written(I am looking for a purchasing agent this time)
The Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, designed by the Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki, is a dream city that every animation fan yearns for. Tickets must be booked in advance. The mechanical soldiers in "Castle in the Sky" are on the top lawn.
