If you are a big fan of Ghibli's movies, you should go to there immediately!
Ghibli museum was amazing. I became a child again and enjoyed everything, when I went to there.
One of exhibits is "How to make animation". It was so interesting.
A room called "Where a movies is born". A model of an airplane and witches' dolls were hanging from the ceiling, a lot of things about movies were hanging on the walls. And the room is filled with books and toys!
besides, we can see the original short movie!
There were the cafe. I ate the jumbo fried pork cutlet sandwich,it was good.
We can buy CD,books,clothes and Ghibli character products at the museum shop.

The Studio Ghibli has been producing lots of Japanese animations. Some of them are films by a well-known director, Miyazaki Hayao:
My neighbor Totoro,
Spirited Away,
Princess Mononoke,
and the lastest one Howl's moving castle..
The museum I believe is not only for kids, Hayao has been consider the WALT DISNEY of the EAST......

Studio Ghibli has been producing many great animation movies (English version through Walt Disney Pictures) such as "Princess Mononoke" and "Spirited Away". They just released the video and DVD of the latest movie, "Howl's Moving Castle", last autumn (2005) when I was there.
For you who loves animation, Hayao Miyazaki & Studio Ghibli works, you shouldn't miss this museum. You'll see how animation works, Ghibli previous movies' sketches, and watch a short animated movie. When I was there I watched "Mei and Neko-bus" - characters from "My Neighbor Totoro" in a short adventure. In the museum you can also see the "live" version of Neko-bus--children will have fun climbing up and down and into it. There are many Makkurokurosuke inside Neko-bus. The whole sight was so cute!
Inside the museum is also shops where you can buy books on Studio Ghibli artworks, CDs, music books (e.g. for piano), keychains, etc. At the roof top it's an atmosphere from "Castle in the Sky" with the giant robot.

It's not easy getting a ticket to the museum through the lawson convenience store. For one, you have to understand japanese, and even then my japanese friend who bought it for me had to fiddle with it for a while to find the correct page.
Be warned: tickets for weekend sell out way before that week.
Moral of story: Either get someone to buy for you, or else if you can, get it from your own country.

This was the second time I visited the Ghibli Museum. It's such a fun place. The architecture has a soothing roundness to it. The display rooms inside are designed to look like old European private rooms, giving the place a very homey feel. Studio Ghibli makes the best animated features out there. It's great then to see the storyboards and model sheets on display. My favorite display was this demonstration of persistance of vision. I've seen it done with flipbooks. But at the Ghibli museam they do it with wooden models, of Totoro characters. Seeing the illusion, you think you've stepped in a Rankin-Bass movie! :-)
