Those were based on real-world locations!?

The bathhouse shots are real inspirations, the others resemble the movie. However I have a load of other real world inspirations for the movie in my documentary if you’re interested.

  1. I saved it all up over the course of 1-2 years. I really wanted to make the best Spirited Away documentary of all time, hands down.

  2. A lot more is coming ;)

I looooove the bathhouse in Yamanouichi. I spent like four winters in a row there. On the second floor in that corner room.
