Ghibli Museum
My love for Japan, and everything about this country, has its origins in my childhood when as many of my peers watching Japanese cartoons. I thought that certain attitudes of the characters had their own cartoon, I realized later that did, however, refer to Japanese culture and customs.
As I have said in previous post, after thinking "I go to Japan" I added "I see the Ghibli Museum!" and in fact, was a truly exciting for me that I have reviewed all the films before leaving ...
in Tokyo and a bit 'all over Japan Totoro is a personage of importance. It should be just proud, and I think they have every reason.
Mitaka, where the museum is a bit 'place of pilgrimage, a must for many tourists.
exit from the station, for those who had fear of being wrong road, there is an information office, with a beautiful Totoro sitting in the chair.
The Way to the Museum has signs every 200 yards, impossible lost ...
walk we met a class of asylum during a walk (some children are in a cart pushed by his teacher ... or maybe the more agitated the more tired ?...)
arrived at the park by now I was no longer in the skin, hopping like a little girl we have crossed the threshold ... When you realize a dream that seemed impossible was so happy to be almost evil (at least that's what I've tried it).
How early is already a show every detail allows you to enter the "World Ghibli, "the reality as seen through the eyes of Miyazaki.
Checkout is Totoro! The sign on the gate warned visitors that day tickets are sold out, lucky that we have bought them ... months ago Italy
With the package of booking we went to the cashier to pick up our tickets: the frames of the film is Kiki, the idea is truly original and will remain the most beautiful gift to be preserved.
The mosaic with the inscription in Italian confirms the love of Miyazaki for Italy.
The interior of the museum can not be photographed, but this site
there are several photos even the movie theater.
personally before leaving I tried to learn as little as possible so as not to ruin the surprise.
Upon entering we queued to watch this short film in the cinema, then we lost in the various rooms of the museum.
Outside is a statue of the robot's "Laputa".
Between the green of the garden the robot on the roof seems a bit 'sad ...
E 'firm was found to be free from children and adults, but I managed to have it all for me to remember this picture very valuable.
The construction of the museum is not only surrounded by nature, but also covered with green!
A fountain really special ...
the soot trapped in this window portholes are fantastic ...
There is also the location of Kiki: I'm not the only one to have posed imitating the witch, we were many, all very embarrassed, but none has given up posing for the photos!
Architecture Museum in places reminiscent of Art Nouveau, and sometimes it seems that the intent is to lose orientation ... Inside
There is an elevator and a beautiful spiral staircase fit for children.
That photo is the beautiful staircase leading to the robot on the roof.
After visiting every corner, both inside and outside, the shop is a must!
It's called "Mommy Help", the large face of the logo is a character of "Porco Rosso" that looks too Lore (it was recognized right away!)
few souvenirs among those who have bought (the prices are quite high):
