Tour Studio Ghibli museum
Getting tickets to visit the museum of the Japanese animation house located in Tokyo is usually a difficult affair. On top of that they have a strict no-photo policy.
Hence, anime fans around the world rejoiced when the museum started releasing short clips of a staff member’s “video journal” on its Youtube channel, with four videos released thus far.
Each one showcases a different part of the museum where you can spot well-known characters as well as the inspiration behind the many films Studio Ghibli has produced.
