Was Spirited Away based on real places? 3 surreal railways in Japan that give serious Ghibli vibes.
Remember the ocean railway scene in Spirited Away? These three real places in Japan might just bring it to life. Number one, Shikari Betsu Lake underwater tracks. Located in Hokkaido, these mysterious submerged railway tracks peak through the lake surface, looking eerily like they lead to another world. Number two, Shimonatada Station. Often called Japan’s closest station to the sea. The platform view over the Sedto inland sea feels like time has stopped. Number three, Omi Railway. This train glides through flooded rice fields and the still water reflects the entire scene just like in the film. It’s especially stunning in the evening. Trains, water, and reflections of another world. Japan’s beauty feels like a dream. Follow us to see
