Ghibli Museum is a treasure house for learning about Ghibli films. It exhibits how the movies were made. 
Edo-Tokyo Open-air Architectural Museum (Tatemono-en) has 30 houses that exhibit architectural styles, people's lives, and the culture and history of Japan. All of them are not imitation nor miniature, but original. Also, they have been providing seeds of imagination to anime creators. They are depicted in movies, such as "Spirited Away", "My Neighbor Totoro" and partly "Your Name". I will be more than happy to show these houses. (Personally, I found 8 spots.)
Usually it is scheduled Ghibli Museum in the morning and Edo-Tokyo Museum after noon. But just in case, morning ticket of Ghibli is not available,  the order will be switched. (Edo-Tokyo Museum AM and Ghibli Museum PM)
