    There are also some options on the table, I think they will ask which one you want to stamp?

    Can i buy this book before my trip on amazon, and are there any criteria it has to meet?

    • @suzicurran
      @suzicurran 2 місяці тому

      If you're willing to pay 2-3x the normal price, yes, there are a few on Amazon. You'll want to double check that it's the right size (usually B6) and that it has relatively heavyweight paper, as the brush ink will bleed through normal pages. Honestly, I'd recommend just visiting a LOFT or Hands once you get to Japan!

    Thank you so much for making this video! the most awesome and useful part of the video was the "use as many devices as you can " when doing the queue. I used 6 devices and all of them had different numbers in the queue, the max was 14,000 and the lowest was 5,000 it was in this one (a PC) that we were able to buy the tickets in the date and time we needed ♥ ♥♥Thank you :3

Thanks to your video I've been able to buy them, I've followed all your steps (a lot of papers with all the info at my desk right now xDD) I had my laptop, the tablet and my mobile (finally that was the choosen one) and I was 4th at queue and my hands were shaking because I was freaking out. Now I can go to work happy and relaxed till the next tickets reservation (Ghibli museum, kirby cafe...), just let me say THANK YOU a lot, have a nice day and kind regards from Catalonia xoxo

    Thank you for this video. I had no idea! We're headed to Tokyo in October. I'm a bookbinder and would love to make my own book. Can you tell me the weight of the paper and how many pages? I'm assuming it's thick due to the inks used so they don't bleed through. I was thinking of using smooth watercolor paper.

    I'm a few months late to this - where did you get the hikan inari shrine goshuin, please? I don't see an office there - was it part of the nearby asakusa shrine too or available from their office?

I only had to wait 15min in the queue 😊 Just one update since you released this video, now you can only purchase tickets 2 months in advance (not 3). And one thing that got me confused, for the address field it took me a while to realize that I should’ve typed without any commas or dashes.

    • @suzicurran
      @suzicurran 9 місяців тому

      You can, but I'd truly recommend staying over in Nagoya if you're planning to spend the full day at Ghibli Park. I was completely wiped at the end of my visit: I can't imagine adding 5 hours of train travel to the day would improve things!

  • @vandrabrud
    @vandrabrud 9 місяців тому

    suzi, did you collect goshuin from temples and shrines in the same book? I have read a few places they should be kept in separate books, and if not, some places will refuse.

    • @suzicurran
      @suzicurran 9 місяців тому

      Great question! I've also heard that this is sometimes practiced by goshuin collectors, but I've never had it come up - and I've received something like 200+ goshuin by now! I can't rule it out entirely, but I wouldn't worry too much. It's also the case that, post-pandemic, something like 80% of the shrines and temples I've visited have given me kakioki (the separately prepared goshuin pages that you'll glue in on your own) so most offices won't be looking at the goshuin you previously received anyway.

  • @kyolovers81
    @kyolovers81 10 місяців тому

    I bought premium access but at 2PM. At site said that 2PM is only for grand warehouse only. So we could see the other park before 2PM for example in the morning?

    Great video. I'm planning to pick up a goshuincho in Sakura Jingu Shrine and start to collect them. Unfortunately missed on my opportunity on my last 5-week trip so I might need to come back to those places :D I'll also start collecting eki stamps but ordered a nice eki stamp book on Amazon

    • @suzicurran
      @suzicurran 10 місяців тому

      That's a great idea! I've seen a few color variations on the goshuincho from Sakura Jingu, so I'd be interested to hear which one you end up with!

    • @ferMADify
      @ferMADify 7 місяців тому

      Hi! Have you been there already? I want to book tickets for September but they're not available yet so I'm checking videos to know what to expect. It seems like now you only get an assigned time slot for the warehouse as it says on their website "You can enter all five areas with this pass. This pass will only have an assigned entrance time for Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse". If that's true, it makes things much easier. I like to walk around an explore without the added stress of "I have to be there at X hour and then there at Y hour" 😅 The process to buy the ticket also seems to be more foreigner friendly this year.. idk if that's true as I haven't got the chance to do it yet, but it seems like it was way more complicated until recently.

    Heya there! Thanks for the video, really informative. I've got a question that I've tried finding everywhere but couldn't seem to get a good answer to: Do we need to create a Lawson member account to book these tickets? I'm trying to register for an account beforehand but it seems like they want a name in Kanji with a Japanese number and address. Or is it not necessary? I.e. we can just get in the queue and purchase as per your video without needing to create any accounts Thank you in advance for your help!

    I just tried today exactly at Japan time however when I went thought, it didn’t load the calendar for me. It read as “error” I was so sad bc I was #42 in queue. Turns out it’s bc google chrome sucks and now I’m on safari but my tickets are sold out… Note: im on safari and tried to get a different ticket but when I get to the payment selection, it won’t let me click on “credit card” (it was stuck on pay pay) so I couldn't even check out... Sad day

  • @Multicrafts1
    @Multicrafts1 11 місяців тому

    Very useful and detailed video, thank you for sharing, a few hour ago I bought my tickets. For anyone wondering, you can use your own personal phone number, I’ve used my Mexican phone number and it worked as normal you don’t need a Japanese phone don’t worry. The Japan Address can be the place you’re staying, I used the address from my Airbnb booked near the park, it doesn’t go trough any verification so it doesn’t have to be 100% specific, I was worried about the format but it’s kind of a free format adress so I pasted as it is on the Airbnb info. And last, I did not have any problem with my card, I used a Travel Visa credit card, during the payment the site opens your bank page and they send a verification code and that’s it :) Good luck everyone! 🎉❤
