What you can expect
Studio Ghibli has created timeless masterpieces beloved around the world, including My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, and Castle in the Sky. For fans of Ghibli’s distinctive world, it is natural to wonder where—and in what kind of atmosphere—these films were brought to life.
On this tour, you will visit locations closely connected to the creation of Studio Ghibli’s works, including the studio and former headquarters where these masterpieces were produced (please note that there is no entry into these facilities), as well as other places that Ghibli fans will find especially meaningful. While exploring these sites, you will experience first-hand the atmosphere and environment of the town that gave birth to the films.
(Please note: this tour does not include entry to the Ghibli Museum.)
Rather than viewing exhibitions, this walking tour focuses on strolling through the streets where the works were created—taking in the scenery, listening to the everyday sounds, and sensing the scale and rhythm of daily life that inspired these enduring films.
