Is it bad of me to wear Ghibli paraphernalia in Disney???
On the last full day in Tokyo, we went to Disney! Despite having very little space to work with, they were still able to fit two different parks into the Tokyo area: Disney Land and Disney Sea. We chose Sea, mainly cause our resident Disney buff, Lucas, has been to many Disney Lands in his time. At first I was imagining lots of underwater stuff, but it was more sea themed than actually in the sea.
You walk into the Mediterranean Harbor, and can visit other areas with like themed rides.
They do a great job of making Disney feel like a whole world of its own. My last visit was in 15 years ago. So fun to go back!
That night we got to stay in the famous Japanese style Capsule Hotel. These were originally built for businessmen who missed the last train home and needed a quick, easy place to stay for the night.
It's a lot more spacious than I expected, though.
On the way out of Tokyo the net day, we made a stop at the Pokemon Center to meet Nurse Joy and heal our pokemon.
..or, that is, to buy souvenirs.
The rest of the day was spent riding trains southward to Nagoya. What's usually a 6.5 hour journey on normal trains became 9 hours of riding and waiting after strong winds and heavy rain hit eastern Japan. A couple people called this a typhoon, but it just seemed like a big rain storm to me.
Arrived in Nagoya around, oh... 10:30? 11? Where I mishappenly led us to a place that was definitely NOT near our lodging for the night. The trains had just stopped, and I got to take my first taxi in Japan. Oh, it's comfortable alright, but costs a pretty yen.
But we got there! Angelica and I went bath hopping in the onsen spa area while the boys used the free internet lounge to catch up on emails or somesuch.
Wearing Ghibli in Disney is not a crime, and in fact helps support their partnership!
