A guest came to us with a last-minute wish: to visit the magical Ghibli Museum in Tokyo.
If you’ve ever tried booking tickets, you’ll know—it’s almost like finding a Totoro in the wild. 🐾

For international visitors, tickets are only available on a specific website, released once a month on the 10th, and they sell out fast. Unfortunately, our guest had missed that window.

But we don’t give up that easily. 😉

We discovered a few local tickets were still available—but there was a catch (a big one!):

• You needed a Japanese phone number to buy them

• Tickets had to be printed in person at a Lawson machine

• Printing required an OTP sent to that same phone number

Basically: impossible for a tourist. But totally doable for us.

We handled the whole process from start to finish—secured the ticket, printed it ourselves, and had the physical ticket delivered to the guest’s hotel in Japan. All in time for their Ghibli adventure. 🌟

Problem solved, memories made.
