Combining mythical storytelling and stunning visuals, Studio Ghibli is renowned as one of the world’s greatest animation studios. If you can’t hold out until the Studio Ghibli Theme Park opens in 2022, Ghibli fans visiting Japan can experience their very own slice (or in one case, cream puff) of the whimsical studio’s creations—and Tokyo should be your top destination.
Even if you aren’t particularly interested in Japanese animation, you’ve likely heard of a Studio Ghibli film, or inadvertently witnessed one of its characters. Universally known in their home country, Totoro, Catbus, and No-Face—amongst many others—have become beloved throughout the world.
