CONTENT Sekizenkan (Shima Onsen, Gunma Prefecture), a Spirited Away pilgrimage site — the red bridge (Keiun Bridge) in front of the inn closely resembles the one Chihiro crosses while holding her breath
In Shima Onsen, time seems to slow down the moment you arrive at Sekizenkan, one of Japan’s oldest wooden hot spring inns. The sight of the red Keiun Bridge, paired with the inn’s bathhouse-like structure, instantly reminds many travelers of Spirited Away. Here, history, fantasy, and quiet healing coexist, offering an experience that feels both cinematic and deeply real.
