Ghibli Museum & Edo-Tokyo Architecture Museum Private Tour

The Ghibli Museum was something we really wanted to do and we knew getting tickets for the time period we were going to be in Tokyo was going to be difficult. Shuichi made the process so much easier for us as he was so attentive in the planning beforehand and when we were there. It was like we were visiting with a kindly uncle who was so good at keeping us engaged and content all the while on schedule. We loved how he was able to point out Miyazaki's places of inspiration while visiting the Edo-Tokyo Architecture Museum and learned many things about Japanese history there. Shuichi made sure we were warm enough and provided hand warmers when the cold winter winds picked up and made it chilly. He even accommodated our request to have lunch at a particular tiny udon restaurant we were interested in checking out. When we let him know we required a taxi to get to our next destination after the tour, he told us not to worry and took care of the arrangements. We enjoyed our day with Shuichi.

Thank you for your wonderful review and comment. I also had a wonderful time with your family. I think you already arrived home town in California safely and have restarted daily happy life. Please come back to Japan again. See you again somrday in future . Goodbye today.

A kind and well-organised guide. Thank you Shu, for an exceptional day out!

We had a fabulous day with Shu, who I recommend as a guide. I knew that after recent changes to the Ghibli ticket purchasing system, it would be harder than ever to purchase them from my home country, and I wanted the best odds of including this museum on my itinerary. I figured Shu would know best how to access the system from within Japan as he's done so many times. I felt fortunate that he successfully purchased tickets for the 10am opening time and also that we managed to book him, since guides can only book one lot of tickets per month. We are Ghibli fans, and the highlight of the museum for me was an exhibition of the exquisite art from 'The Boy and the Heron. We could have easily spent longer examining all the artwork from other Ghibli movies that covered the walls elsewhere. The room showing how animation works was delightful, the models and carousel whimsical and fun. So was the short movie. I felt joy as I viewed all the pieces. Possibly someone who isn't a Ghibli fan wouldn't enjoy it as much after all the hype over ticket purchases. But I felt it was true to the spirit of its creator and I loved it. Shu improved our visit by knowing where to go, not rushing us at all, and being very considerate of my sore feet (from my two prior weeks of walking everywhere in Japan). I took lots of breaks throughout the day. He took us to an izekaya for lunch which served delicious local food, and suggested we try some items we wouldn't have otherwise. That was a great success. We then visited the architectural museum. The grounds are full of significant Japanese buildings that were painstakingly moved there in their original condition. Shu showed us screenshots from some of the Ghibli movies and paired them with the buildings that may very well have inspired them (I was certainly convinced). The buildings are beautiful and worth seeing even without their connection to the Ghibli films, but Shu's thoughts on that and his knowledge of history enriched the experience.
