Did not think that I will blog about this but yea.
HELLO Guys~
Today I am going to talk about how you can save a little bit of money to buy souvenirs at Ghibli Museum LOL!
Okay let's get straight to the point.
The cheapest way to get Ghibli museum tickets is from the Loppi ロッピー aka Lawson online shopping ticket machine!
If you're going to be in Japan for more than a month, the easiest and cheapest way to get a Ghibli ticket is to buy it at a Loppi machine that can be found at almost every Lawson convenience store.
The thing about buying your tickets through Loppi is that you have to plan your purchase ahead of time. The tickets for Ghibli usually goes on sale at 10am on the 10th of the month BEFORE your actual visit. So if you are planning to visit the museum in June, tickets would become available on the 10th of May. This doesn't mean you have to buy them right on the 10th, but the longer you wait, the lower the chance of you getting the tickets of the date and time that you want. So it's best to ask a friend who is working in Japan or staying in Japan, or having a vacation in Japan to help you get your tickets in advance.
[Tickets (Entry Vouchers)]
Ages 19 and over: JPY1,000
Ages 13 to 18: JPY700

✨Note: There are no refunds, so make sure to choose the correct date and time you want. If it is sold out they will let you know and you can choose again. They will not refund or exchange a ticket once you've purchased it, even if you accidentally hit the wrong date and time and finish the transaction without checking.
🌟Once you get your receipt, you have only 30 minutes to give it to the cashier🌟
My tickets were bought in advance by a friend staying in Japan so I do not have any photos of my own as a Loppi machine guide. Thus, I have found two sites with images that might help; Ghibli and Mihoshappylife. Click on one or both of these for a vision step-by-step guide to get you through the rest. For video step-by-step guides, you can try ; JapanesePod101 or Serial Travelers.
During peak seasons, it is better to buy a ticket as soon as possible. While in off-season months, it might be common to find tickets on Loppi even a week or less in advance. Sometimes right on the same day, especially during the week but it is best not to count on your luck. _(┐「ε:)_♡
