While not totally reminiscent of a Ghibli film, Shiro-Hige’s Cream Puff Factory in Tokyo deserves a special mention in our week of Ghibli locations, as it’s the only bakery in the world licensed to create Ghibli baked goods.

Settle in the memorabilia-adorned café to snack on Totoro-shaped cream puffs and crispy cookies. Just be sure to get there early—a line forms before they open at 10:30, and only one round of sweets is baked per day, so when they’re out, they’re out.

This week we're celebrating some of our favorite real-life Studio-Ghibli locations.

At the beginning of Spirited Away, just as Chihiro’s parents are about to make some questionable life choices, the family car is stopped by a large green statue. It’s called a Rakan statue, and traditionally represents disciples of the Buddha. (Although in Spirited Away, it quickly becomes clear that this statue has a much more colorful life.) While they’re unlikely to whisk you away to the spirit realm, you can visit these artifacts at Otagi Nenbutsu-ji located in the Arashiyama district of Kyoto.

This week we're celebrating some of the real-life locations around Japan that inspired Studio Ghibli films.

Princess Mononoke is the story of Ash*taka, a young prince seeking the deer-like god Shishigami to release him from a deadly curse. Along the way he learns a powerful lesson about living in harmony with nature. Given the film’s heavy ecological themes, the real star is the untamed wilderness which was heavily inspired by Yakushima Island. Getting there will require a bit of extra transportation. (Flights depart from Osaka, Fukuoka, and Kagoshima.) But being on the island is a unique opportunity to step into an awe-filled world full of moss-covered trees, looming dormant volcanoes, and that Shiratani Unsui Valley, which contributed to the movie’s pivotal moments.

Come to Kanazawa if you're curious about samurai. Within the soot-blackened walls of this private forge, watch as one of Japan’s few remaining sword makers painstakingly folds, hammers, shapes, tempers, sharpens, and polishes raw materials into a ‘katana’, the legendary long sword wielded by the samurai of old.
