8 . Despite the deeply rooted impression that hotels are humorless, colorless spaces, there’re already many design-forward accommodation options around the world. It’s easy to see the appeal of spending your vacation in a pretty, Instagram-worthy spot that truly fits into a destination instead of feeling like it could have appeared anywhere.

But when it comes to choosing between a pre-dawn wakeup at a fashionable-neighborhood design hotel in order to get to the airport in time for my flight or just crashing at an airport chain hotel and being able to squeeze in another hour of rest, I always go for Option B.

That is even truer now that I’m attempting to travel during the pandemic. I still want convenience, but my number-one concern is cleanliness. Lots of hotels have adopted measures of disinfection amid the pandemic, but many of them take place outside of a guest’s watchful eye. Admittedly, white walls are cheap, easy, and lack personality and creativity. But these days, they are a place I can easily look for dirty spots without needing a blue light camera.

And while huge sculptures and electric pieces of Pop Art are fun to stare at in museums, they’re too much sensory overload when I’m just trying to feel at ease. Ultimately my sense of peace in a chain hotel room isn’t just about paint colors or art choices, but its uniformity. There’s always a fresh towel to pull off the rack (架子), a pad of paper and a pen on the desk, and a hot shower. When travel makes us stressed out in a city where we may not speak the local language, staying at a chain hotel means that at least something is familiar.

Not everything needs to be dramatic every day. Compared to my usual life in a tiny apartment on a loud, busy street, the quiet cool feeling of placelessness is paradise.

9 . Ghibli Park (ジブリパーク) is a theme park about the popular animated movies by Studio Ghibli. It opened in November 2022, and unlike other theme parks does not feature any rides, but rather let visitors explore into the atmospheric fantasy worlds presented in the various popular Ghibli movies. Just let your imagination run wild in this fantastic park!

Located in Aichi Earth Expo Memorial Park, Ghibli Park is less than two hours from Kyoto by train. The theme park will be about 17.5 acres when completed.

The theme park currently consists of three areas. The main one is “Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse”, an indoor facility that will house exhibits including the Robot Soldier from Castle in the Sky, the Catbus from Totoro, and another recreation out of The Secret World of Arrietty. A second area, “Hill of Youth”, features a shop from Whisper of the Heart and another recreation from The Cat Returns. The third is “Dondoko Forest” with a full recreation of the house from My Neighbor Totoro and a Totoro-themed playground. One of the two areas that will open later (“after 2023”, the park’s press office said) is “Mononoke Village”, referencing Princess Mononoke and her adventure among large forest animal gods. The other is “the Valley of Witches”, which will include some parts from Howl’s Moving Castle, and Kiki’s Delivery Service, about a hardworking young witch.

There is currently no pass that allows visitors to see all areas of Ghibli Park. You must buy separate tickets for each attraction you want to visit.

●Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse: 2000-2500 yen

●Hill Of Youth: 1000 yen

●Dondoko Forest: 1000 yen

●Children under 3 are free of charge; children aged 4 to12 cost half.

The pass of Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse cost 500 yen more on weekends and national holidays than on weekdays.
