Studio Ghibli

A small museum on the edge of Inokashira Park, built around original artwork, a reconstructed animation studio, a rooftop robot and a cinema showing short films screened nowhere else.

Why it’s worth it

There is no set route — the building is deliberately confusing, with spiral stairs and doors at odd heights. Tickets are date-and-time specific and must be bought in advance; there are none at the door.
