Managed to get some tickets to go to the Ghibli Museum. It was a really cool place. They showed us a really fun little animated short film, and there was a lot of displays of the animation techniques that the studio uses as well as recreations of what some of the rooms that the animators use look like and loads of reference materials and sketches that they have made. I understand why we can't take pictures in the museum but I wish we could have. They had a really cool shop in the museum that had both manga a light novel versions of all of their films. I ended up buying Grave of the fireflies and Princess Mononoke light novels. I also visited the cafe there to get a coffee with a cool design drawn into the foam, expensive but the experience was worth it.
