Can Australians Buy Ghibli Museum Tickets on Klook in 2026?

Updated: October 2026.

No, you cannot buy Ghibli Museum tickets on Klook as an official seller. At the time of writing, the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Tokyo lists only two ways to buy from overseas, including from Australia: online through Lawson Ticket, released at 10 a.m. Japan time on the 10th of each month for the following month, or a Sunrise Tours JTB bus tour. Adult tickets cost JPY 1,000. Klook is an official overseas seller for Ghibli Park in Aichi, a different attraction.

ShopBack Australia is a free app and website that gives you money back on bookings and orders you start from ShopBack, including travel sites like Klook. You open the site from ShopBack, book as normal, and the money lands in your ShopBack account once the booking confirms. Join ShopBack Australia free before you plan the rest of your Japan trip.

Can you buy Ghibli Museum tickets on Klook?

Not from Klook as an official seller, because the museum sells overseas tickets through Lawson Ticket and one bus tour operator only. The Ghibli Museum's ticket page, at the time of writing, says visitors may buy from overseas through:

1. Sales Online by Lawson Ticket, with an English version of the site.
2. A special bus tour by Sunrise Tours JTB, which covers several stops including the Ghibli Museum.

Klook does not appear on that list. The museum also states that ticket purchase for resale is not allowed, so a ticket bought from an unofficial reseller is a risk you do not need to take.

Where Klook does fit is Ghibli Park. Ghibli Park, near Nagoya in Aichi, links to "sales online by Klook" on its overseas ticket page, next to Lawson Ticket. The two are easy to mix up in search results, so check the name carefully: Ghibli Park tickets are not valid at the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, and the museum's tickets are not valid at the park, according to Ghibli Park's own ticket page.

Ghibli Museum tickets: prices and rules

Ghibli Museum tickets cost JPY 1,000 for adults, and every visit must be booked in advance, according to the museum at the time of writing.

Age	Price (JPY)
19 and over	1,000
13 to 18	700
7 to 12	400
4 to 6	100
3 and under	Free

The rules that matter for Australians:

• Advance reservation only. No reservation or ticket purchase can be made at the museum.
• Fixed date and entry time. Tickets are valid only for the date and entry time on them, with no set exit time.
• Opening hours. The museum lists hours of 10:00 to 18:00, with closed days shown on its calendar. Check the calendar for your dates before sale day.
• No resale. The museum does not allow ticket purchase for resale.

Ghibli Museum tickets from Australia in 2026: when to log on

Lawson Ticket releases each month's tickets at 10 a.m. Japan time on the 10th of the month before, according to the museum. For example, tickets for 1 to 28 February go on sale at 10 a.m. Japan time on 10 January.

Japan does not use daylight saving, so the time in Australia shifts with our clocks:

Where you are	Sale time (October to April, daylight saving)	Sale time (April to October)
Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart	12 p.m.	11 a.m.
Brisbane	11 a.m.	11 a.m.
Adelaide	11:30 a.m.	10:30 a.m.
Perth	9 a.m.	9 a.m.

Tips for sale day:

• Make your Lawson Ticket account before the 10th, so you are not filling in forms when the tickets open.
• Have a first and second choice of date and entry time. Popular slots can sell out, so be ready with a backup.
• Book flights and your hotel around the ticket, not the other way round, if the museum is the main reason for the trip. Tickets only come out one month at a time.

Ghibli Park and Klook: what you can book

Ghibli Park in Aichi is the Studio Ghibli attraction you can book through Klook, and its tickets go on sale two months ahead, on the 10th at 2 p.m. Japan time. At the time of writing, the park's overseas ticket page says reservations for December 2026 go on sale on 10 October 2026 at 2 p.m. Japan time, which is 4 p.m. in Sydney and Melbourne and 3 p.m. in Brisbane.

Day pass prices according to Ghibli Park at the time of writing:

Pass	Adults, weekdays	Adults, weekends and holidays	Children 4 to 12, weekdays	Children 4 to 12, weekends and holidays
O-Sanpo Day Pass Premium (all five areas, all buildings)	7,300 yen	7,800 yen	3,650 yen	3,900 yen
O-Sanpo Day Pass Standard (Grand Warehouse, Mononoke Village, Valley of Witches)	3,300 yen	3,800 yen	1,650 yen	1,900 yen

Children aged 0 to 3 enter free, and a service charge is added when tickets are issued. Ghibli's Grand Warehouse has an assigned entrance time with both passes, and advance reservation is required with no exceptions.

Two more rules from the same page matter for Australians:

• No discounted tickets. Ghibli Park says discounted tickets are not available, including for groups or early booking, so the ticket price itself is the same whichever official seller you use.
• Bring your passport. To prevent resale, visitors may be randomly asked for ID, and the person named on the ticket must be present.

Because the ticket price is fixed, going through the ShopBack Klook page before you pay on Klook is how the effective price of the same booking drops.

Getting to the Ghibli Museum

The museum is a 20-minute train ride from Shinjuku, then a 15-minute walk or a short bus ride, according to its directions page:

• Train: JR Chuo Line from JR Shinjuku Station to JR Mitaka Station, about 20 minutes.
• Walk: about 15 minutes from the south exit of Mitaka Station.
• Bus: a community bus runs from Mitaka Station every 15 minutes during opening hours. Fares are 230 yen for adults (cash or IC card) and 120 yen cash or 50 yen by IC card for children aged 7 to 12.

The address is 1-1-83 Shimorenjaku, Mitaka-shi, Tokyo.

Klook booking tips for Australians in 2026

The cheapest way to use Klook for a Japan trip is to compare the total in Australian dollars, book timed-entry attractions early, and go through ShopBack before you pay. A few habits that help:

1. Check the official sellers first. For any big attraction, look at the attraction's own website to see who it lists as an official seller, as you would for the Ghibli Museum and Ghibli Park.
2. Compare the total, not the headline. Look at the final price with fees in your currency before you commit.
3. Read the cancellation terms. Check the refund and change rules on the listing before you pay.
4. Match your account country. ShopBack's Klook terms say purchases are only eligible if the country of residence in your Klook account matches the ShopBack account country, so set your Klook account to Australia.
5. Go through ShopBack before you pay. Open the ShopBack Klook page, tap through, and finish the booking in the same session.

Klook official deals and promo codes

Klook's own deals show up as lower listing prices and promotions on the Klook site and app, so you can look for them while browsing listings, including a search on klook.com. Before you apply any code, read the rules on the ShopBack side.

At the time of writing, the Take note box on the ShopBack Klook page says that if you use any promo, coupon or discount code, your whole order will not be eligible, and asks you to check that no promo code is applied automatically at checkout. Its exclusions also list codes not featured on ShopBack, KlookCash, gift cards, split-bill payments, fees and bookings on external partner pages. If a code saves you more than ShopBack would, you can choose the code; just know the order will not count on ShopBack. For more, read our Klook vs Viator vs GetYourGuide guide.

Booking Klook through ShopBack Australia

ShopBack works like an automatic cash discount on your online order. Cashback lowers what you actually pay for an order. It comes back as cash, so it works like a discount on the price, not like points or miles. Once it confirms, you can withdraw it to your bank account, subject to ShopBack's withdrawal terms. For Klook, the ShopBack page says bookings are confirmed 120 days after your trip at the time of writing, so expect it some months after you travel.

A worked example (illustrative only): on a $200 Klook booking at an illustrative 5%, $10 comes back, so the effective price is $190. Check the live rate on the ShopBack Klook page, because rates differ by product type and change from time to time.

The step is simple: open ShopBack, search Klook, tap through and book in the same session.

Booking your Tokyo or Nagoya hotel

Before you book a hotel on Booking.com or Agoda for your Ghibli trip, go through ShopBack first. The same step works for accommodation as for activities: start from ShopBack, book in the same session, and the effective price of the stay drops once it confirms. Mitaka sits on the JR Chuo Line west of Shinjuku, so a hotel near Shinjuku or along the Chuo Line keeps the museum trip short. For a full trip budget, see our 10-day Japan budget from Australia.

Other booking sites for Japan activities

Australians planning Japan activities usually compare Klook with Viator, GetYourGuide and Trip.com, and book stays on Booking.com, Agoda or Expedia. Whichever you use, check the attraction's official seller list first, then check that site's ShopBack page before you pay.

No. The museum says all admission is by advance reservation only and that no reservation or ticket purchase can be made at the museum. Tickets are for a set date and entry time, with no set exit time.

No. The Ghibli Museum is in Mitaka, Tokyo, and Ghibli Park is inside the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park near Nagoya. Ghibli Park's own ticket page says its tickets are not valid at the Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, and the reverse is also true.

Can you buy Ghibli Park tickets on Klook?

Yes. Ghibli Park's overseas ticket page links to online sales by Lawson Ticket and by Klook at the time of writing. Day passes go on sale two months ahead, on the 10th at 2 p.m. Japan time. Go through ShopBack Australia before you pay on Klook so the effective price drops on the same booking.

How can I get cheap deals on Klook as an Australian?

Compare the same activity's total price in Australian dollars, book early for timed-entry attractions, and go through ShopBack Australia before you pay. At the time of writing, ShopBack's Klook page says using any promo, coupon or discount code makes the whole order ineligible, so check the terms before you apply one.

Can I resell or transfer Ghibli Museum tickets?

The museum's ticket page says ticket purchase for resale is not allowed. Buy only through the methods the museum lists, and buy for the date and time you can actually attend.
