Ghibli Museum and Ghibli Film Appreciation Bus Tour

wonderful tour. the office was easy to find, the staff were so warm and welcoming and out tour guide was a joy. Everything was explained clearly with regards to the itinerary and also how much time we had at each location and when we would need to return to the bus. if you love Studio Ghibli this is a must and this tour makes it so easy. the Edo-tokyo architectural park is also wonderful and an enjoyable edition to the tour.

A dream come true! I didn't even try to buy a ticket for just the Ghibli Museum online after reading the reviews, so I immediately booked this tour. Our guide, Yuki-san, explained everything beautifully and in great detail in English. At the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, Yuki-san shared some interesting stories connected to Hayao Miyazaki. A must for all Ghibli fans!

loved this tour. lunch was brilliant in gorgeous surroundings. stopped at Jindaiji temple which was just beautiful. ghibli was just fantastic and so interesting. big Tototo fan, it was living the dream!

We had an amazing time. No issues. Completely stress free. If Chihiro was your favorite film this is 100% for you. I would just say, be prepared on the way back to shinjuku at 7pm. The amount of people was insane.

The guide was so enjoyable as she explained lots of historical information before every stop. Very friendly to both local and foreign tourists. The food was amazing! Both the Edo museum and Ghibli museum was very interactive you felt a different world entirely at both.

Outstanding experience from start to end. If you are a Ghibli fan, this is the perfect day out for you. Enjoy seeing Miyazaki's influences, as well as the museum itself. The tour guide speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this.

We booked this package as a backup in case we couldn't get tickets through the Ghibli Museum's regular reservation system. It turned out to be a good decision because that's exactly what happened. We didn't have any particular expectations for the hotel buffet or the Open-Air Architectural Museum, but both were very enjoyable. We ate very well, and the old buildings at the Architectural Museum were interesting. The highlight, of course, was the Ghibli Museum visit, which was surprising and quite wonderful. Let's not forget our guide, who was lovely and shared relevant information throughout the day. Even though it was obviously significantly more expensive than individual museum tickets, we were charmed by the day as a whole.

this was my second time going on this tour. and it's fantastic. take the stress out of getting the tickets to the Ghibli museum. and you get to see the inspection behind some of the films locations. and have a fantastic lunch. the guide is the same as last time lol and she is wonderful full of information and very fun 😊

oh its my second trip so far in japan! and I LOVE IT! its perfect! joy is so funny and fun! cher is very helpful and manage friendship… its very family friendly and just unforgettable… the edo museum surprisingly so cool! the buffet is fantastic too…

The tour overall was great. Each location was fun, the hotel was beautiful, the open air museum was really cool, and of course the Ghibli Museum was amazing. Our tour guide gave us helpful information about the area while we were on the bus, and also spoke a lot about Hayao Miyazaki. The only thing I found odd when speaking about Studio Ghibli is that she only ever mentioned Miyazaki, and never once mentioned Isao Takahata, or Toshio Suzuki, the other two founders of the studio. Overall the tour was a great investment.
