Ghibli Museum and Ghibli Park: the key facts
The Ghibli Museum and Ghibli Park are two different places with two different ticket systems. Here is what each one publishes, at the time of writing.
| Ghibli Museum, Mitaka | Ghibli Park | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Mitaka, Tokyo, about 20 minutes from Shinjuku by JR Chuo Line | Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park, Nagakute, near Nagoya |
| Overseas sellers named by the venue | Lawson Ticket online, or a Sunrise Tours JTB bus tour | Lawson Ticket or Klook |
| When tickets go on sale | 10am Japan time on the 10th, for the following month | 2pm Japan time on the 10th, two months ahead |
| Adult price | JPY 1,000 (ages 19 and over) | 3,300 to 7,800 yen, depending on pass and day |

Ghibli Park states plainly that its tickets are not valid at the Ghibli Museum, and the museum's tickets are not valid at the park.
How do I get Ghibli Museum tickets as a tourist from Singapore?
From Singapore, buy Ghibli Museum tickets online through Lawson Ticket, which the museum lists for overseas visitors, on the 10th of the month before your visit. According to the museum's ticket page, sales open at 10am Japan time on the 10th of each month for the following month. Tickets for 1 to 28 February, for example, go on sale on 10 January. Japan is one hour ahead of Singapore, so that is 9am in Singapore.
Step by step:
- Fix your Tokyo dates first. Each ticket is valid only for its date and entry time, so plan the rest of the trip around the slot.
- Note the sale date. For a visit in December 2026, sales open on 10 November 2026.
- Be online at 9am Singapore time. Popular dates and weekend slots tend to go quickly.
- Book for everyone in your group in one go, with the correct age band for each person.
- Keep the confirmation and arrive within your entry time. There is no set exit time once you are in.
The second route the museum lists is a Sunrise Tours JTB special bus tour, which includes the Ghibli Museum among several stops. This can suit you if Lawson Ticket dates are gone, or if you would rather not plan the transport yourself.
How much are Ghibli Museum tickets in 2026?
According to the Ghibli Museum, tickets cost JPY 1,000 for ages 19 and over, JPY 700 for ages 13 to 18, JPY 400 for ages 7 to 12 and JPY 100 for ages 4 to 6, and children aged 3 and under are free. These are the museum's own prices at the time of writing.
A few rules worth knowing before you go, from the museum's own pages:
- Opening hours are 10am to 6pm.
- No photos or videos inside the museum.
- Cash at the shop and café is Japanese yen only, and major credit cards and Suica are accepted.
- No visitor parking, so come by public transport.
Ghibli Museum tickets: Klook vs KKday and best deals
For the Ghibli Museum ticket itself, the museum names only Lawson Ticket and the Sunrise Tours JTB bus tour, and it says ticket purchase for resale is not allowed. So the safest move is to buy the museum ticket through those routes, and save on the rest of the Tokyo trip instead.
Where booking sites such as Klook and KKday come in:
- Transport passes and airport transfers for getting around Tokyo.
- Day tours from Tokyo on the days around your museum slot.
- Other attraction tickets, compared date by date across both sites.
Klook and KKday each set their own prices, so compare the same product, date and number of travellers on both. Before you pay, go through ShopBack to get a post-purchase discount on the order.
How to get to the Ghibli Museum
According to the museum, take the JR Chuo Line to JR Mitaka Station, about 20 minutes from JR Shinjuku Station, then walk 15 minutes from the south exit or take the community bus. The bus runs every 15 minutes during opening hours and costs 230 yen for adults, by cash or IC card. The museum's address is 1-1-83 Shimorenjaku, Mitaka-shi, Tokyo.
How do I buy Ghibli Park tickets from Singapore?
From Singapore, buy Ghibli Park tickets online through Lawson Ticket or Klook, the two overseas sellers linked from Ghibli Park's own ticket page. According to the park, passes go on sale two months ahead, on the 10th at 2pm Japan time, which is 1pm in Singapore. For example, passes for a December visit usually go on sale on 10 October at 2pm Japan time, so check the park's ticket page for the exact sale date of your month. Advance reservations are required with no exceptions, and tickets cannot be bought anywhere in the park.
Because Klook is one of the park's named sellers, you can open Klook from ShopBack Singapore and book there.
Which Ghibli Park pass should I buy?
Pick the Premium pass if you want to go inside every building, and the Standard pass for a lighter visit to three areas. Prices according to Ghibli Park at the time of writing:
| Pass | Areas | Adult weekday | Adult weekend and holiday | Child (4 to 12) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| O-Sanpo Day Pass Premium | All five areas, including every building | 7,300 yen | 7,800 yen | 3,650 to 3,900 yen |
| O-Sanpo Day Pass Standard | Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, Mononoke Village, Valley of Witches | 3,300 yen | 3,800 yen | 1,650 to 1,900 yen |
Children aged 3 and under are free, and the park adds a service charge when tickets are issued. With the Standard pass, entry to Okino Residence, Howl's Castle and The House of Witches needs same-day tickets bought in the park (from 400 yen to 1,000 yen for adults), which are limited and sold on a first-come basis.
Ghibli Park rules that catch visitors out
- Timed entry for one area. Ghibli's Grand Warehouse has an assigned entrance time between 9am and 2pm; the other areas take final entry at 4:30pm.
- Named, non-transferable tickets. The person named must be present and may be asked for ID such as a passport.
- No changes or cancellations after purchase, according to the park's FAQs.
- Plan your route. The park recommends visiting Hill of Youth and Dondoko Forest in the morning or early afternoon, since they get crowded after 4pm.
Is Ghibli Park worth the trip to Nagoya?
Ghibli Park is usually worth the trip for Studio Ghibli fans who can give it a full day, ideally with the Premium pass, while casual fans on a short Japan trip may find the Ghibli Museum in Tokyo easier to fit in. The park has five areas: Ghibli's Grand Warehouse, Hill of Youth, Dondoko Forest, Mononoke Village and Valley of Witches. With the Premium pass you can enter buildings such as Howl's Castle, Satsuki and Mei's House and the World Emporium.
Questions to decide it:
- Do you have a free day? The park is a day out on its own, and you need time to reach it.
- Which films do you love most? If it is My Neighbor Totoro or Howl's Moving Castle, the Premium pass buildings are the highlight.
- Can you catch the sale date? Passes sell two months ahead, so you need your dates fixed early.
Getting to Ghibli Park from Nagoya
According to Ghibli Park, take the Linimo line to Ai-Chikyuhaku Kinen Koen Station, where the park is just outside Exit 2. A Meitetsu shuttle bus also runs from Nagoya Station (Meitetsu Bus Center) on park opening days, and is cashless. There are also shuttles from Chubu International Airport, and the park has no parking lot of its own.
Nagoya is a stop on the Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka, so many visitors fit Ghibli Park into a Tokyo and Kansai trip. For the flights, hotels and passes around it, see our guide on booking a Japan trip online from Singapore.
Ghibli Park tickets: Klook vs KKday and best deals
For Ghibli Park, Klook is one of the two overseas sellers the park names, alongside Lawson Ticket, so it is the booking site to check first. The park sets the admission price, so the main ways to save are choosing the right pass and day, and going through ShopBack before you pay.
- Choose a weekday. Both passes cost 500 yen less per adult on weekdays than on weekends and holidays.
- Match the pass to your plans. If you only want the Grand Warehouse and Valley of Witches, the Standard pass costs well under half the Premium price.
- Use KKday for the rest of the trip. KKday lists tours and activities across Japan, so compare it with Klook for day tours around Nagoya, Tokyo or Osaka.
