Tokyo: Ghibli Museum

Four trips to Tokyo. Three visits to Ghibli Museum. Two rainy days. One bus ride.

Ha! Guess what? I went back to see Totoro again! Grin. My third time in four trips to Tokyo. I blogged about both visits here and here. The first time was a rainy day too, same as this round. I walked both times but we hopped on the 'cat bus' this round. From memory, it was a proper cat bus but I guessed my memory failed me and instead I remembered some imaginary bus. I really thought it looked like this.

Due to our limited time in Tokyo and the museum's periodic maintenance schedule and close days (Tuesdays), we didn't want to risk it so we bought the tickets before departing. We exchanged our paper tickets with the filmstrips tickets.

L to R: My tickets from 2009, 2011 and  2014

I was lucky, the short film aired at my third visit was also different from the previous two. This round, we watched the short film - Treasure Hunting.

As usual, photography is prohibited interior of the museum but one could take photographs freely outside.

This round I've finally got myself the souvenir books. Don't know why I didn't the previous times though. The souvenir books are sold two together, one is a photography version, the other sketch picture. And, because I am nice (*dodged flying slippers), here's some scanned pictures from the book - on the interior of the museum.

Next up - Straw Hat Cafe, revisited ^^

Side note: Got to find new place to explore!
