The Ghibli Museum is a magical experience for any Studio Ghibli fan! From the moment you enter, you're immersed in the world of iconic films like My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away. The museum's design is whimsical, with interactive exhibits that bring the studio’s beloved characters and scenes to life.
I especially loved the short films exclusive to the museum and the chance to explore the fascinating behind-the-scenes artwork. It's a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it for the unique experience. A must-visit for Ghibli lovers or anyone who appreciates art and animation!3 weeks ago — by Wesley
