Customer Review
My trip to Ghibli Museum!
Finally, I got there!
I really love Ghibli films since I was a little kid. But I couldn’t get Ghibli museum admission ticket every time I came to Japan. This time, I joined WILLER’s tour and finally visited Ghibli Museum! The best point of this short tour is that you don’t have to book a ticket by yourself in advance.
Booking this ticket is sooo bothering. The tickets start to sell on the 10th of every month. You have to book a ticket at Lawson and need to receive it in Japan within 3 days or pay by credit card.
Tickets are sold out as soon as they are started to sell. Usually, all the tickets are taken in 1 day.

Inokashira Benzaiten Shrine
Benzaiten, one of Japan's eight lucky gods, is actually the octet's sole goddess. She's also the Japanese incarnation of the Hindi goddess Sarasvati and a patron of the arts. Her realm is the waters, which is why you'll find this shrine on an island in Inokashira-park's central pond.
Inokashira Pond
Speaking of Inokashira Park, it must be a boat. You can row a colorful boat or swan boat at this pond. The scenery from spring to winter on board is also impressive. Some Japanese teenagers believe an funny rumor that a boy and girl who row a bot at Inkoashira park will break up" because God of Benzaiten get jealous!
Monument of Tokugawa Iemitsu
The third Shogun Iemitsu Tokugawa said to have named the monument "Inokashira". He graved "Inokashira" which means the source on the Magnolia kobus when visiting here for a falconry.
Kotori no Mori
You can see the nature itself here. There are secret windows to watch wild birds that even small children can also use. This area is preserved for wild birds which like lush green places.
