I know nothing of this place and was just wondering if anyone can tell me anything because I can't seem to find any information on the place.
I have however found that the two places are quite far from each other (2 hours I believe?) and also not very close to anything else we're doing around that area. How we plan to solve this is to save them for the last 2 days of our trip so I was wondering if anyone knows of a hotel we could stay at between the two or where I could look to find that information.
Thanks in advance!

How much do you want to spend on hotel? I stayed at Tokyo prince last time, it wasn't expensive. Short walk to Hamamatsucho station, which give you access to Daiba and Yamanote line.
My wife and I are also big fan of Ghibli, we visited both places, also on different days. Ghibli is not something that will last uyou an entire day. What we did was we went there as it opens, watch the film and did a bit of shopping (The gift shop is PACKED, and its darn expensive), we had lunch, by the time we are done its only around 1:00ish, so you can still travel back to Odaiba and visit Venus Fort, Pallette Town and such.....
Odaiba is also one of my favourite destination. That and Yokohama
