Totoro Bento & Ghibli Museum

It's my favourite Totoro for today's bentos. Just a simple seaweed cut-out for both my boys' lunch and snacks.

Bento is filled with rice, teriyaki meatballs, broccoli and strawberries.

I layed the seaweed on cheese, and just put it on top of the sandwiches.

I've always wanted to visit Ghibli Museum. When we went to Japan in both 2009 and 2010, we tried to get the tickets at Lawsons upon arrival but they were sold out for the days we were available in Japan. :( This time. I asked someone staying in Japan to help me to purchase the tickets in advance, I don't want to take the risk again.

You get to exchange your Lawsons ticket for this very cool entrance ticket. :)

Laputa's robot. There's no shots of the interior as photography is not allowed, but this place is a must visit for Miyazaki's fan , you will love it. Apart from all the wonderful exhibits, we also get to watch a very short anime written by Miyazaki called 'Mighty Mouse'. It's very cute, the boys loved it. :)

Straw hat cafe, located inside the museum's compound.

Very long queue at lunch time at the cafe, we decided to grab a snack at a kiosk outside first.

They only sell hot dog buns, but it was very nice. :)

The boys and I ordered 2 plates of curry rice to share, food was very yummy!

Daddy had this bread, it was delicious.

Strawberry cheese was very good too, pardon my limited vocabulary, I think I don't do justice to the food, lol. We could bring home these little flags which they put on top of the food, but the paper flags tore when I reached back home. Sob. :(

And when you wash your hands, you see Jiji on the tap. :)

The museum is located just beside a very lovely park. :)

We spent the rest of our day there. :)

  2. 喜欢你的龙猫便当!我一定也要“复制”一个!:D

    我去吉卜力美术馆应该是好几年前的事了吧。

    那时也是因为托了老公东京的同事先帮我们买票才有机会参观的。我们去的那天,应该是该馆全年开放的最后一天--十二月二十三日。而且还是入馆的最后时间段呢。记得未入馆前,太阳还未下山;但出来后,天色已暗。对了,我当时还在馆内遇见我们这里的前艺人欧菁仙呢。她那时应该还在东京留学吧。

    可惜的是,那时孩子还小,好像连电影《龙猫》都未看过呢!真希望下一次再到东京时有机会再到那里走一趟。

    1. 谢谢,期待你的海苔龙猫便当。:)好有趣,还看到欧箐仙,我们只看到许多台湾旅客。哈哈,我每次去主题馆或乐园前,必定给我儿子"复习"相关卡通,只可惜前两次告诉他们要去,都去不成,失望透了。
