Traveling the World #64 (Asia Series) Ghibli Museum

Hi Steemians,

Today I’m going to take you to the Ghibli Museum in Japan. I’m sure many of you have seen a film made by Studio Ghibli like Totoro, Spirited Away, Ponyo etc. I was extremely excited when we decided we had time to visit the museum as I have seen alot their movies. The museum is located in Mitaka, Japan. We got off at Mitaka station and walked approx 15 minutes to the museum. There were plenty of clear signage for the museum or ask if you think you are lost as many people who visit this town is here for the studio. Special note is you can’t buy the tickets at the door - you need to get them Lawson convenient store in Japan or if you are overseas, you need to contact your local JTB group which we have one in Sydney. JTB couldn’t help me due to my last minute booking so I was able to get my tickets at Lawson when I got to the Japan.

今天我會帶你們到在日本東京的三鷹之森吉卜力美術館。如果你看過龍貓，千與千尋，悬崖上的金鱼公主等等，我相信你對吉卜力工作室的名字不會陌生的。當我知道我們可以到這個美術館參觀我非常期待因為我太喜歡他們做的漫畫電影。美術館是在日本的三鷹市。在三鷹火車站走路到美術館大概要15分鐘。原路其實有很多指示但如果你是迷路的話，你可以問問當地人因為差不多每個人來到這個區都是來看美術館的。有一點就是你不可以到現場買門票的。你要到日本當地的 Lawson 便利店買或者如果你在海外要聯絡 JTB 他們會幫你訂。我們澳洲都有JBT但因為我是臨時要訂所以他幫不到我。我後來是在日本的 Lawson 便利店自己買票的。

On the way to the studio

很快到美術館啦

Unfortunately we are not allowed to take any photos or videos inside the museum so we were only able to take photos outside which was still very pretty.

美術館不讓人拍照或者拍片所以我們只可以在外面的地方拍照

Just as were going in, we can see Totoro greeting us behind the window.

我們一到門口就看到龍貓在售票處後面歡迎我們

Once we got our tickets we were greeted with different rooms dedicated to some of the films they have made in the past. The ticket they gave us was actually like a movie film, all randomly given out. The rooms inside the museum was full of paintings, drawings, art tools etc. There were also toys, books and other demonstrations on the process of making an animation. The exhibition I liked most was Spirited Away because i love the movies so much and Ponyo was very cutely decorated.

There was also the famous Cat Bus from the Totoro movie where many kids would climb into it and have a good time. Only kids were allowed in it. Shame we couldn’t take any photos inside.
