The Ghibli Museum displays all things related to the animated films of director Hayao Miyazaki. Sophia was excited to visit, as we have seen many of Miyazaki's films, such as My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and more recently, Ponyo, the story of a fish who wants to become a little girl. Thank you so much to Nobuko for getting us our museum tickets, our bus/subway tickets, and helping us with directions to get back home to the hotel. We appreciate the time you spent with us this day.
On Thursday morning we had a really good bus tour to the Tokyo Tower, Imperial Palace grounds, and Asakusa/Sensoji Temple, thanks to Chikako. After the tour we met Chikako at Tokyo Station, and went on to Shibuya, where we shopped at Tokyu Hands, a creative items department store. Chikako also helped us shop for a Japanese designer outfit for Sophia, and took care of the subway tickets throughout the afternoon, as the subway system is very difficult to decipher. For dinner we returned to an Italian restaurant near our hotel in Akasaka., which had great food. Thank you for a great day, Chikako!
