Japan day 2: Studio Ghibli Museum and Nakano Mall

Today we went to the Studio Ghibli Museum in Mitaka! We were not allowed to take any photos inside, but the outside was beautiful too with the vines growing up the walls and trees surrounding it. Studio Ghibli movies will always hold a place in my heart. The first one I ever saw was Kiki's Delivery Service and I've watched it more times than I can count. 
The outside of the museum really makes you feel like you're in a Studio Ghibli movie, and inside is no different with it's stain glass windows, little archways and balconies. It was so interesting seeing how each movie progressed from the early sketches and seeing the gorgeous, crisp scenery paintings. 
We went to a mall just outside of Nakano Station. It had some interesting stores with 80s/90s collectables. There were a lot of robots, power rangers and monsters from old and obscure horror movies.
