Latest on Ghibli Museum

Even though pictures are not allowed inside the Ghibli Museum, the outside and surrounding area still possess a lot of Ghibli charm. Ghibli street signs, a Ghibli bus, and Ghibli beer make for pleasant unexpected surprises while visiting the museum. It's a must-see for those Ghibli fans out there, but don't forget to make your reservation ahead of time!
