Torani no totoro totoro! I’m getting a little ahead of myself here, but I was definitely traveling on high spirits on the way to the Ghibli Museum! It was raining again when we left our hotel that morning. We got off at Mitaka Station and totally got confused trying to figure out which direction to go.
