The world of Spirited Away is so wonderful ♨️ Nagano Shibu Onsen Historical Inn Kanaguya

The hot spring inn of my dreams ♨️ Historical Inn Kanaguya

This hot spring inn's exterior is said to have been the model for the bathhouse in Spirited Away. I'd seen its lit-up exterior many times, but I finally got to stay there! 🫶

It's a popular inn, and reservations are only available 2-3 months in advance, even on weekdays! If you're planning on staying here, make sure you make your reservation early!

~ ... Yes, the hot spring water flows directly from the source, and you can enjoy it 24 hours a day!!!

⚫︎Private baths are always free to use if they're available✨

⚫︎Shibu Onsen guests only receive a magic key that allows access to nine public baths🗝️

⚫︎Dinner and breakfast are also delicious🥢
For dinner, we recommend the special shabu-shabu plan🐮

⚫︎Free daily tours of the Kanaguya Cultural Heritage Site and the hot spring source🏮

⚫︎Lots of cute, retro spaces make for great photo opportunities📷
