This page states the position plainly, once, so that no reader, rights holder or advertising platform has to guess at it.
No affiliation
This is an independent, unofficial site published by an individual. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected in any way to:
- Studio Ghibli, Inc.
- The Ghibli Museum, Mitaka, or the Tokuma Memorial Cultural Foundation for Animation
- Ghibli Park, Aichi Prefecture, or the operators of the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park
- Nippon Television Holdings, Tokuma Shoten, or any distributor or licensee of these films
No content here has been reviewed or approved by any of them. Nothing here should be read as a statement made on their behalf.
Trademarks
"Studio Ghibli," "Ghibli Museum," "Ghibli Park," the names of the films, and the names and likenesses of their characters are trademarks and/or registered trademarks of their respective owners. They are used on this site descriptively — to identify and discuss the works and places the articles are about — under nominative fair use. No claim of ownership is made, and no association or endorsement is implied by their use.
Copyright in the films
All film titles, characters, artwork, frames, audio and other creative material referred to on this site remain the copyright of their respective rights holders. This site publishes commentary, criticism and factual description. It does not host, stream, distribute or link to copies of any film, and it does not reproduce artwork belonging to the studio.
What is original here
The articles are written by the publisher. The illustrations, page artwork, icon and layout were made for this site and depict no character, scene or design belonging to any rights holder — they are abstract landscape plates, made to demonstrate a layered parallax effect. Any photographs published here are the publisher's own or are licensed for the use.
No ticket sales, no booking, no commissions
This site sells nothing. It does not sell or resell admission to the Ghibli Museum or Ghibli Park, does not take reservations, does not act as an agent for anyone, and earns no affiliate or referral commission from any travel service, reseller or retailer. Where the site describes an operator's admission arrangements, it is describing what that operator has published — see how access works.
If you encounter a site claiming to sell Ghibli Museum or Ghibli Park admission on this site's behalf, it is not connected to me, and I would be glad to hear about it.
Accuracy and currency
Information here is published in good faith and checked against the operators' own material at the time of writing. Hours, admission systems, facilities and development plans change frequently. Pages carry a last-reviewed date; that date records when the information was checked, not that it is still correct. Always verify anything you intend to act on with the operator directly.
Opinions
Readings of films, judgements about their quality, and characterisations of business decisions are the publisher's opinions, offered as commentary and criticism. Where a claim is contested or unconfirmed, the site says so — see the real places page, much of which exists to separate documented connections from repeated assertion.
Advertising
This site is funded by advertising and may run paid advertising to reach readers. Advertisements are supplied by third parties, are marked as advertising by the platform serving them, and are not endorsements. No advertiser sees articles before publication or has any influence over them. Data handling for advertising is set out in the privacy policy and the cookie policy.
Rights holders
If you hold rights in material you believe is used here improperly, write to contact@themultiplane.com or to Thomas Sonnabend at 8010 Via Sardinia St, Estero, FL 33928, United States, identifying the material and the page. Substantiated requests are acted on promptly and without argument.
The reason this page is as blunt as it is: fan sites about beloved properties drift, over time, into speaking as though they represent them. Readers arrive expecting an official channel, get frustrated when nobody can help them with admission, and the rights holder ends up dealing with the confusion. Saying it flatly at the outset seems fairer to everyone involved.
