Asakusa
Asakusa is a traditional district in Tokyo that developed around Senso-ji Temple, offering a distinct atmosphere from modern commercial areas like Ginza, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. It retains the charm of Edo's old downtown and is regarded as a microcosm of ancient Edo culture. Historically, Asakusa suffered severe damage twice—from fires after the Great Kanto Earthquake and WWII air raids—but gradually regained popularity during postwar reconstruction. Today, it epitomizes old Tokyo. The heart of the district is Senso-ji, a Buddhist temple founded in the 7th century. Its entrance, Kaminarimon ("Thunder Gate"), features a massive red lantern inscribed with the gate's name and is flanked by statues of the wind and thunder gods, where people once prayed for good harvests and weather. The bustling Nakamise shopping street, lined with red storefronts, connects Kaminarimon to Hozomon Gate and the main hall, selling traditional snacks like ningyo-yaki, Edo-era toys, and crafts, with some shops over a century old. Kimono rentals are also available here. Nearby, Asakusa Shrine, built in the Edo period, is worth a visit, while Denbo-in Temple's garden can only be admired from outside. Asakusa also hosts traditional festivals: the Sanja Matsur in May at Asakusa Shrine embodies Edo's vibrant spirit, alongside summer's "Hozuki Market" at Senso-ji, the "Tori-no-Ichi" fair at Otori Shrine in early winter, and year-end "Hagoita Market." Sumida Park along the Sumida River is a famed cherry blossom spot, with boat rides offering waterfront views in spring. The summer fireworks festival on the river is a major annual event. For Edo-style cuisine, classics like tempura, soba, and eel are easy to find. With extra time, explore Kappabashi Street, known for kitchenware and food replicas. The area is easily explored on foot or by rickshaw.Tokyo · 20.2 km from Asaka
Ghibli Museum
Ghibli Museum is an animation-themed museum personally designed by Hayao Miyazaki. The European-style building is entwined with trees and vines, and the "forest" in its name comes from this environment surrounded by woods. The museum invites visitors to "let's get lost together" and does not have a fixed route. It takes approx. 15 minutes to walk from Mitaka Station, and a community bus is also available for round-trip travel; you can also stroll through the park along the way. A fluffy Totoro stands in the ticket booth at the entrance, but it is only there to "welcome guests." The permanent exhibition, which recreates the studio's creative workspace, is piled with numerous reference manuscripts and hand-drawn books ranging from airplanes and ships to street scenes and characters. The interactive exhibition area uses rotating devices to demonstrate how images "come to life," explaining animation principles in an intuitive and engaging way. The "Saturn Theater" screening room loops original Ghibli short films that are only shown in the museum and never released elsewhere, with each visitor limited to one screening. The "Catbus" room, where children can crawl into its fluffy belly and roll around, is also only open to children. The adjacent reading room is filled with picture books, and there is also a special exhibition hall with themes that change regularly. You can take photos once you step outside. Climb the spiral staircase tower to the rooftop garden, where a robot soldier from "Castle in the Sky" taller than a person stands in the bushes, next to a stone tablet engraved with Laputa characters. If you look carefully in the courtyard, you will also encounter familiar figures such as the black cat from "Kiki's Delivery Service" crouching by the faucet and the pilot from "Porco Rosso," like a treasure hunt hidden in the architectural details. The souvenir shop "Mamma Aiuto" is named after the air pirate gang in "Porco Rosso." The shelves are stocked with everything from Totoro plushies and puzzles to umbrellas printed with animation scenes, many of which are limited-edition items sold only here. The "Straw Hat Cafe," with its orange walls and red windows, serves freshly made hot dogs, sandwiches, and dessert drinks. The whole tour feels more like walking into a Hayao Miyazaki animation than a conventional art museum.Mitaka · 11.4 km from Asaka

Magical experience, and it’s incomparable with Harry Potter attractions in the Universal park in Osaka. This is 100% about the movies, the magic of cosy Xmas and the perils of main characters. Staff was very friendly, and frozen butterbeer hit the spot on a hot 30° day!

Yes, it gets extremely crowded (especially weekends, holidays, and peak midday hours), but that energy is part of its charm for many. Go early or late and the experience becomes almost serene.

The ticket includes a small keychain. The main activity upon entry is taking photos with two randomly selected children; staff will take the photos for you, and unlike Disneyland, the queue is quite quick. After the photo session, there's a shop on the second floor. Customizing a keychain takes 30 minutes, and playing interactive games takes 20 minutes. Since I was in a hurry, I didn't wait and bought many cute items. The whole visit took about an hour.

Visiting the **Ghibli Museum** was a truly magical experience. It showcases the artistry behind animation, highlighting how Ghibli, a pioneer in the field, created beautiful films without modern computers. Seeing the meticulous process of hand-drawing and painting each frame was awe-inspiring.The museum's architecture and interior perfectly capture the whimsical and mysterious essence of the Ghibli world. While photography isn't allowed, this enhances the experience, urging fans to immerse themselves fully in the magic of the exhibits.Each entry ticket resembles a film strip from the animations, making it a beautiful keepsake of the visit. It’s no surprise that the Ghibli Museum remains a favorite among locals and tourists, with tickets often being hard to come by. Overall, my visit was unforgettable and a must-see for any Ghibli fan!

Upon arrival, I was struck by the simple and unpretentious environment, but after settling in, I discovered its subtle charm. There was no deliberate attempt at luxury; the plain walls were warmed by the sunlight, and the colorful paintings at the corners shimmered with soft hues, like a corner of the evening glow captured in the room. The floors were made of old wood, making no harsh sounds underfoot. The staff spoke softly, and even the tea served was lukewarm. Without any unnecessary noise, sitting in a chair by the window and daydreaming, time seemed to slow down. It felt as if I had stepped into a secluded mountain retreat from an ancient painting, my heart gradually calming down, and I almost forgot my return date.
