- Kodakara-yu Bathhouse — This grand bathhouse helped shape the design of the iconic Aburaya in Spirited Away. You can walk through it and feel the direct inspiration for the movie's setting.
- Stepping into Spirited Away — The entire museum feels like a portal into a different era, specifically the world of Spirited Away. Hayao Miyazaki himself is a frequent visitor and felt nostalgic walking through it while developing the movie.
