I believe many people out there are big fans of Hayao Miyazaki.
His works on animations since ages ago are always inspiring and awesome.
So here I am today to write about a place where all Miyazaki's hard works were displayed and that we could enter a world of his wildest imaginations.
The Museum of Studio Ghibli is located at Mitaka, approximately 20 minutes away from Shinjuku station. Before we went in, we bought our tickets which cost 1000yen at Lawson convenient shop. Then we had to decide which period that we wished to pay a visit. Late comers would not be granted access too so it's important to be punctual.
We chose our time at 2pm. Though we sorta got lost a while with the train (again), but finally we still managed our way to the museum. From outside, the vividly standing robot in Laputa (Castle in the Sky) could be seen on the roof top of the building.
We further our way in, where we could see the big fat totoro sitting in a small house with transparent glasses with its signature grin of smile and waving of hand. It was such a warm greeting!
As we entered the museum, we were told that taking photos was forbidden. Even though I had heard that in first place before I went in, but still it's so disappointing to know this rule.
The museum of Studio Ghibli had 3 floors if I'm not mistaken. There were souvenir shop, small cinema, imitation of Miyazaki's working room, tonnes of hand-drawing scripts of different animations, models of moving anime characters, some never before hand seen stuffs that we would not be able to find in the market on the first 2 floors. That's what made the museum so special, you could discover many other more works of Miyazaki himself.
Then we went up to the floor where the Laputa robot stood. People were taking pictures with it, so did we. The surrounding of the rooftop also mimicked the ground of flying castle, such as the prophecy stones, the yellowish greenish meadow, the way the corridor was built etc.
There was also a cafe outside the museum that looked exactly like the one in "Porco Rosso". (The Red Pig) It was so lovely to see it from the outside. Even the tap water spinner was of the adorable kitty from Kiki's Delivery Service! Every single thing in the museum was simply a piece of art derived from the animation world.
Totoro says Hi to you
The legendary robot in Laputa
The prophecy stone
cafe that is identical to the one in Red Pig
Lovely kitty.
