This day, our main destination is Ghibli Museum 三鷹の森ジブリ美術館. It was a place that we longed for visiting. Usually, people called it as Totoro Museum, as it is featuring Japanese Anime produced by Studio Ghibli. One of the most famous masterpiece is Totoro.
We took JR train to the station Mitaka. Then walked across the little town to the museum. We gave up the Totoro bus, which is a small shuttle bus in yellow and decorated with different totoro's characters. The reason is that it was not far when reading the map. And also, we wanted to see around the town. Actually, the town is nice, small, even the houses are small. It is a nice place. But, we lost our way. And lucky we managed to find the museum after half an hour.
At the door of the museum, there were so many people queuing up. After a while, we managed to exchange our tickets and got into the museum. And wow!!! The museum is huge. The first exhibition hall is wow!!! You can not miss it. It demonstrates the concept of cartoon. Animation is a series of pictures and lights. So cool!!
Every single exhibition hall was with special theme. Of course, themes were from those cartoons produced by Studio Ghibli. If you are a big fan of Studio Ghibli, you would visit all the halls one by one. There was a restaurant but was fully booked. Every place was decorated with different cartoon characters.There was a 1:1 robot that you should have seen in the cartoon Laputa. It was a photo shooting place. What a nice statue!!! There was a room for small kids to play with the huge Cat Bus. There was a class of kindergarten kids visiting on that day. They are so cute, energetic but not naughty.
Hanged around for while and bought some souvenirs, we got back to Shinjuku and visit another place.
