Straw Hat Cafe (Ghibli Museum Cafe) Mitaka Reviews
Amazing
What a nice treat! The entire family was transported in a fairy world! An amazing place for both adults and kids! We sing Totoro song for an entire day!
Pretty interesting characters.
My granddaughters really enjoyed the park, we were ok since we din't know too much about the characters except for No Face but the line was too long!!!!
A Must Visit For Ghibli Fans
The Ghibli Museum in Mitaka is a magical experience for anyone who loves Studio Ghibliโs films. If youโre not already a fan, it might not be as exciting, but for us, it was incredible to immerse ourselves in the world of Hayao Miyazaki. The muse
For the invested fan
Lovely museum, very well-kept but very crowded. We couldnโt get tickets through the booking system so had to go on an external tour through the park before arriving at the museum which was interesting but a bit expensive. My sister and I love the G
Useless booking system
Absolute joke of a ticketing system. Despite logging into the system in advance of the 10:00 Japanese time (01:00 UK time) deadline I was already #23000 in the queue, which crashed on me before I got to the front and made me restart. By the time I go
Skip it
You can skip this. Its very crowded which is heightened by the fact that they hold everyone back and release them on the hour. The shopping is hectic and you will find better ghibli products elsewhere. They did not have any exclusive products. ther
A Bit of a Let Down - BUT enjoy the short films
As a lifelong Ghibli fan, I did expect this to be one of the highlights of my tri, especially considering all of the hype around it. I am a little saddened to say that this was not the case and I feel quite bad for saying that. There is no doubt tha
Must for Ghibli lovers.
Amazing experience of watching the Ghibli short in the theatre and exploring the whimsical museum. However, the exhibits were fairly sparse with information and you're not allowed to take photos inside the museum. You can take photos on the roof with
Ticket System is a joke
I was behind 8000 people in queue to get tickets for May. I tried to get tickets for 3 people, but was kicked out due to tickets no longer being available. Then I tried to get 2 tickets , but it failed again. I gave up and tried to get just "1&
Must Do In Japan but Not Twice
This is a must do for dedicated Studio Ghibli fans. In my opinion, the best way to get tickets is to go through the Japan site and pick them up at Lawson's, which was super easy. If you are driving there are parking lots near the museum, however t
Photos with Big Totoro are popular
The corner where you can take a photo with Big Totoro (because it's inside the building, you can see it through the glass) is always popular. The yellow bus from Mitaka Station and the cute colorful building will lift your spirits. Anime fans and chi
Ghibli Museum is a spot of bother to arrange but enjoyable for adults young and old.
My husband and I traveled in Japan with our 22-year-old daughter who is a huge fan of the Ghibli movies. It was at the top of her list to visit both the Museum and the Park. The Museum is on the outskirts of Tokyo. Ghibli Park, on the other hand, is
For the Ghibli lovers!
My partner absolutely loved this experience. I personally have only seen a couple of Ghibli movies, so I found it fun but a little boring. That being said, the museum is incredibly well set up and has a number of whimsical elements, which were reall
Must See if you're a Miyazaki Fan
Amazing experience. The entire museum, exterior landscapes and interior design, was well thought out and executed. If you're a Ghibli fan, Totoro fan, fan of Miyazaki, you will visit the museum regardless.
Very good
I went with my teenage children, one of whom is a fan of Studio Ghibli films. It was worth the visit. Iterative. The museum is well set up. Very pleasant location and easy access from Tokyo.
The Tour guide was excellent
5/5, the guide was excellent and they were great and civil to talk to, even after accidentally arriving late to the meeting place.
Buying tickets was relatively painless and a wonderful visit.
With regard to buying tickets on the Lawson English site where we had a positive experience. I logged on 10/11/2023. At 10am there was 3,200 ahead of me in the queue. Within the hour I had our tickets for our December 2023 trip. I guess we were luc
Absolutely breathtaking
As a devoted fan of numerous Studio Ghibli movies, I was absolutely blown away by this museum. To put it simply, it's nothing short of incredible. Roaming through the museum creates an otherworldly experience, with each display and room beautifully m
Visitor Experience and Accessibility at the Museum
I recently visited a museum known for its remarkable collections but found the experience less accommodating for foreign visitors. The process for ticket acquisition was particularly challenging; my wife and I faced undue complications due to strict

He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Straw Hat Cafe (Ghibli Museum Cafe) Mitaka page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Straw Hat Cafe (Ghibli Museum Cafe) Mitaka to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Straw Hat Cafe (Ghibli Museum Cafe) Mitaka!
