What is the name of the Studio Ghibli museum in Mitaka?

The name of the Studio Ghibli museum in Mitaka is the Ghibli Museum. Its full official styling is often “Ghibli Museum, Mitaka,” but “Ghibli Museum” is the standard name and the single canonical quiz answer.

The museum is in Inokashira Park in Mitaka, a city in the western Tokyo Metropolitan Area. Planning began in 1998, construction started in March 2000, and it opened on October 1, 2001. Hayao Miyazaki personally designed the building, treating it like one of his films and incorporating hand-drawn-style details, winding paths, and playful spaces.

Visitors can see animation exhibits, a replica Catbus from My Neighbor Totoro, a rooftop garden, the Tri Hawks reading room, the Straw Hat Café, and a theater showing exclusive Studio Ghibli short films. Advance tickets are required. A common mix-up is Ghibli Park, a separate attraction in Aichi Prefecture that opened in 2022; Ghibli Land and Ghibli World are not the Mitaka museum’s names.
