* The Studio Ghibli Museum is fun if you are a Miyazaki or Takahata fan. Kichijoji station. Inokashira Park also nearby. Tickets need to be purchased in advance - oh no, JTB Singapore does not sell the tickets separately, only as part of hotel/tour package! We'll have to buy from one of those Loppi machines at Lawson's when we get there (there's one at Narita Airport Terminal 1, 5th floor Central Bldg)...check here for ticket availability. More on the museum here.
* The John Lennon museum?
* Meguro Parasite Museum? Kiseichuu Hakubutsukan! All feeder creepies and crawlies for you to pop your eyes out with. Even the Economist knows it!
