Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo is one of the most popular tourist sites in Japan, attracting tourists and anime fans across the world.
One of notable features of Ghibli Museum is the photography restriction, which all visitors are strictly prohibited to take photos and videos inside the museum (you can take photos outside). This is in order to focus on the exhibits and keep the special memory inside the heart. Therefore, Ghibli Museum remains mysterious to those who have never been to the museum.
Ghibli Museum was closed due to the prevention of spreading Coronavirus for several months since late February 2020, however, the museum launched its official YouTube channel and started sharing exclusive videos of museum diaries. These videos give us an amazing opportunity to enjoy the museum and glance the interior in detail. Yes, you can now take a virtual tour to Ghibli Museum from your home.
The first video was posted on 14 April, introducing the entrance to the museum and the reception area. As you step into the building, you are greeted by colourful stained glass windows and the fresco painting on the ceiling with some Ghibli characters.
The second video features the museum’s permanent exhibition “Where a Film is Born” followed by the third video “Night at the Museum”, sharing the night sight of the museum which visitors usually don’t get to see. The fourth video is “Cafe”, introducing the popular Straw Hat Cafe which serves dishes and drinks inspired by Studio Ghibli movies.
Fifth and sixth videos feature inside the ladies restroom and the main hall of the museum. Numbers of unique and rare videos related to the museum and Studio Ghibli’s production have been uploaded until now. If you are a Studio Ghibli fan, let’s make a further exploration of the museum from home!
