Notes for curious travellers.

Why this site exists

Travel research should be clear about geography, booking rules and what needs to be checked at the source. Sirocco Field Notes publishes accessible planning notes for visitors interested in Japan’s creative and cultural destinations. Our current focus is Ghibli Museum in Mitaka and Ghibli Park in Aichi.

What we do — and what we don’t

We write informational guides, explain transit and ticket policies, and provide links to original venue sources. We do not sell admission, operate either attraction, represent a booking partner, or claim privileged access to tickets.

Independence and ownership

Sirocco Field Notes is a third-party editorial website. Studio Ghibli and the names of its museum and park belong to their respective rights holders. Use of the names here is for accurate identification of the travel destinations discussed.

How we review information

We prioritize official venue publications, keep significant claims tied to source links, and indicate that schedules and rules can change. Read more in our Editorial Policy and Research Methodology.
