Day 16 - Ghibli Museum & Tokyo

Today I had to get up at 4.30 in the morning to catch the 6 'o clock shinkansen from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo. We arrived at the Ghibli Museum at around 11 'o clock and spent a good 1.5 hours exploring the place, and ofcourse buying the necessary merchandise from the Ghibli movies :)
The Ghibli Bus:


Taking pictures wasn't allowed inside the museum, however outside it was allowed :)
Giant Robot from Laputa:


After the museum we went to the Square Enix showroom where some rare goodies were to be found. At first we accidentally ended up in the Square Enix Headquarters, where some very confused Japanese people started staring a bit at us xD

The Showroom:


After the Square Enix showroom we spent a few hours around Shinjuku station, eventually ending up playing a game called "find your coinlocker" (well actually it wasn't mine, it was the girl's coinlocker, and they lost the way -.-' )

Around 7.00 we headed for Akihabara (otaku heaven ya rly), and even though I was only there for a mere 2 hours I already spent the royal sum of 15000 yen (a bit over 100 euros) on cd's, a blue-ray, a pluchy, and some small merchandise.

A piece of the loot from Akiba:



I hope I won't get sucked up by Akiba's enticing atmossphere tomorrow, else I might go home with an empty wallet xD.

Tomorrow: the report of our second day in Tokyo!
