Studio Ghibli Museum
If you every want to see pure joy on the faces of children, then Studio Ghibli Museum is the place to be. Situated in Mitaka the museum houses exhibits including demonstrations of animation techniques which blew my mind, a recreation of Hayao Miyazaki’s studio and other great pieces of Ghibli history. Any place that has a full size Cat Bus is alright with me, even if they wont let adults join in the fun of climbing all over it. We spent around four hours wandering the halls of the huge building, tiny doorways leading in and out of corridors and winding staircases curling up three stories. We watched a short Ghibli film that is only shown in the museum, and had lunch at the cafe. It was a magical day.
Unfortunately the guards didn’t allow photos anywhere inside. I still got a photo on the roof though, and snuck a few sneaky vids that you’ll see in a few days.
The rest of the day consisted of wandering around Akihabara again, hitting Don Quiote and eating crepes. My new mates and I got into hostel late, negating any chance once again of going out on the town. Tomorrow for sure.
