Totoro, Laputa:Castle in the sky, Kiki’s delivery, The Valley of the wind..I am not a big fan of Japanese animation, but for sure Miyazaki Hayao’s cartoon is a part of my childhood memories. Ghibli Museum located in Mitaka Tokyo. There are a branch of exhibit to explain the science behind of animation. You can find the robot from castle in the sky, cat bus from totoro, a Mockup of Animator’s Studio…etc. over there. Ghibli Museum is a interesting place. We spend half day there to refresh my childhood dreams.
PS: Thanks our friend Vivian for the Ghibli Museum’s tickets. We loved it so much!

I am lying on the block from castle of the sky.

Cat Bus!! Too bad only Kid is allow to go in.

Akihabara (秋葉原), also knows as Electric Town, located near in Tokyo Japan. The culture of this town is really unique as it is full of store of Japanese comics book, figua (scaled-down models), electric, games, and maid cafe.

During this Tokyo trip, I went to two maid cafe in Akihabara: Cure Maid & @home Cafe. When we entered Akihabara’s maid cafes, the waitresses (dressed in the costume of Western maids) greet us with “Okaeri nasaimase, Goshujin-sama,” which translates as “Welcome home, master.” I experienced the best customer service I have in my life.

They preformed music and play games with you during the meals.

They “custom made” your dishes. I picked a bear picture on my omelet.

See how “L” and “Near” enjoy his meals !おいしい おいしい
