What is the process for picking up the ticket at Lawsons? Do I just show them the online ticket? The website only says "Your entry ticket is the two-dimensional barcode printed on your My Page at the URL listed in the email that arrives after you complete your booking. Please make sure to print out the My Page details screen"

For March reservation I visited the site on the 10th of February at around 14:00h and the tickets were already sold out! That’s literally the same day they go on sale! Insane! Probably you have to be prepared to buy the tickets at 10:00 sharp😂😩

[@misologjapan]

oh no, i'm sorry to hear that 😢 did you visit at 14:00 JST (japan time)? i actually bought a ticket for March too, and i visited the site on the evening of Feb 10th and there were still plenty of tickets left 🤔

[@nothingspecialfrtho6613]

@@misologjapan I’m in Japan for a year so yeah, I visited the site at 14:00 JST. Visited today as well but I dunno why it says it’s already sold out! Did you perhaps use your phone or tablet/laptop for the reservation? I doubt it has something to do with it, but I’m just curious 👀

[@misologjapan]

oh i see, i wonder why too ☹️ i used my laptop btw. but good to hear you live in japan, hopefully you can visit in april onwards :)

[@Vmtdj6848]

Well I was ready for it but it’s difficult to get a the website to work for non japanese people so by the time I worked it out it was sold out. Was so looking forward to it but 😭😭😭😭

[@trc0o0az]

Thank you for the tour

[@misologjapan]

you are very welcome! thank you for watching 🥰

[@Vmtdj6848]

I was ready for the sale. Unfortunately sold out before I could get the site to work for me. I’m a bit devastated because it was on the top of my list to go there.

[@xxslee001xx]

Me too! They sold out when I tried to buy after 8 hours of the site opening. Super sad!

[@misologjapan]

oh no, so sorry to hear that 😢 i'm guessing that the park's popularity is rapidly growing and their server wasn't ready for that... i hope you get to visit next time! 😣

Beautiful ❤

[@dinojesse2013]

Hii there, nice video ! was it really cold when you went, I’ll be going there tomorrow (:

[@misologjapan]

i went there in november and it was quite warm! hope the weather is good tomorrow 🌞　even if the weather is bad, the indoor area should be warm so don't worry. have a great time!

[@kaeminyoo4ever]

Did you get the admission ticket back after the short film is done?

[@tinayutingchou]

Great video, thanks! May I please ask whether any spooky/dark contents there that might scare kids (as in some of the animations)? Thank you!

[@misologjapan]

thank you ;D there weren't any spooky/dark content when i visited. i don't think they would make anything scary intentionally. they do special exhibitions depending on when you visit, so you can check out beforehand if you're concerned about the tentative exhibitions. www.ghibli-museum.jp/en/exhibitions/ hope it helps!

[@interestingph2120]

Can I pick up the ticket on my scheduled date? Or I have to get it from lawson on the same day of purchase (10th of the month)

[@misologjapan]

u can pick it up any day after u book online!

[@interestingph2120]

@@misologjapan thank you.

[@ThatsYerNephew]

How do you pick up tickets if you’re not in Japan until the next month? Can I print them online?

[@misologjapan]

you can pick it up on the day you visit. there's a lawson near the museum, so you can print it there.

[@ThatsYerNephew]

@@misologjapan Thank you! Can’t wait to go! 💕

[@keishareginahoestiawan5834]

Who's chihiro ogino?

[@archanarajansingh]

Do you need a full day to visit the Ghibli Museum if you want to go to the souvenir store, watch the short film and eat at the cafe?

[@misologjapan]

3 hours should be enough!

[@1lqna]

I am interested in time limit.If I am planning to buy ticket for 12.00. Do I have to buy extra ticket to stay longer than just an hour or there is no limit in time to stay there?

[@misologjapan]

there's no limit!

[@nottryingtobefamous9399]

I’ve heard you can’t* take pictures inside the musuem ? But you can take pictures in the park?

[@misologjapan]
