[edit] Buying tickets

Foreign tourists are required to buy their tickets in advance through Japanese travel agencies

This is false. Foreign tourists can purchase tickets upon arriving in Japan at any Lawson convenience store kiosk (called "Loppi"). Unfortunately the kiosk instructions are in Japanese only.

Lawson's website for Loppi uses pretty simple Japanese and a lot of pictures. I bought tickets recently for some friends and found the Loppi system pretty easy to use. Any ol' gaijin should be able to figure it out. I could swear I've seen the instructions in English somewhere too, but can't seem to remember where. Here's the site with the Japanese instructions: http://www.lawson.co.jp/lawson_more/ghibli/how_to_buy.html Kawaikunai 15:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for ammendment to Bus service

The Bus service from the train station is apparently no longer free, please confirm this information —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.77.184.75 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Bus & Ticket Info

This info should be at Wikitravel, not Wikipedia.

Sounds like a good idea, but it seems to me that Wikitravel doesn't allow articles for specific places like Studio Ghibli. If someone who knows Wikitravel can set one up, it would be a good idea to do so and link to the page from this article. HertzaHaeon 11:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tickets and Access

I guess the museum website mentions getting there via Mitaka station because of the bus service. But Kichijoji station should probably get a mention as the walk to the museum is only about 15 minutes and through the middle of Inokashira Koen. Kichijoji is one stop closer to tourist hotels in Shinjuku and the walk through the woods helps reduce tourist obesity. ;) Kawaikunai 15:37, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "the museum has no set path or order of viewing"

To get rid of the long-standing citation needed I'm considering listing the museum folder as a reference for this. The map of the museum printed in it makes the lack of a set path obvious. See it at Nausicaa.net: [1]. If noone has any objections, I'll do this soon. HertzaHaeon 11:26, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
