    Ghibli is to Japan what Disney is to the English-speaking world. Characterized by a sense of childlike innocence and a lightness of touch, Studio Ghibli represents Hayao Miyazaki’s astonishing body of work as a filmmaker. A perfectionist in all right, he is known for pushing the boundaries of animation into uncharted territories.

    Begin your tour at Keio Plaza Hotel and head to Hotel Gajoen Tokyo. The interiors of this lavish hotel is said to have inspired much of the sceneries in the acclaimed movie Spirited Away. Enjoy a spirited and wholesome meal here before making your way to Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum. The museum takes you through Japan's past with its preserved and reconstructed buildings of old teahouses, bathhouses, and private residential homes of famous people. The museum’s bathhouse is reminiscent of the one in the spirit world where Chihiro works to earn her freedom in the movie Spirited Away. After spending quality time here, head to the star destination of the day - Ghibli Museum. Dedicated to the Studio’s body of work, the museum evokes the strange buildings which often appear in Miyazaki’s films. With walls covered in fine art that is unique to Ghibli, visitors are offered a peek into the mood, details, and intricacies that go into the development of these cherished characters and films.
