On the roof, the robot from Laputa: 5 m of copper beaten by hand over two years of work.
The building is inspired by the hill town of Calcata, in Italy: iron spiral staircases and internal bridges run through it on several levels, with no marked route. In the basement the Saturn Theater, with eighty seats, shows a Ghibli short film that changes every month (only one per visit, and never released on video or streaming).
The Studio Ghibli museum in Inokashira Park in Mitaka, designed by Hayao Miyazaki as ‘a museum where you become part of a film’. Opened in 2001.
ℹ️ You can only get in with a named ticket bought in advance for a time slot, and you cannot take photographs inside. Closed on Tuesdays.
