道後温泉本館
The ornate three-story bathhouse building is considered one of the primary inspirations for the spirit bathhouse in Spirited Away. Miyazaki reportedly visited here, and the similarities in the multi-tiered wooden structure are unmistakable.

積善館
The red bridge (Keiunbashi) leading to Sekizenkan strongly resembles the bridge Chihiro crosses to enter the spirit world. The ryokan's Edo-period wooden structure amplifies the otherworldly atmosphere.

江戸東京たてもの園
Miyazaki Hayao is known to have visited this museum for inspiration. The Kodakara-yu bathhouse and the Taisho-era commercial buildings strongly resemble the spirit town's shopping street in the film.
