What to expect
Meet at Keio Plaza Hotel, Shinjuku
10:15–10:40 AMMake your own way to the check-in counter on the 3rd floor of the Main Tower; the guide will brief the group and confirm arrangements.
Lunch at Hotel Gajoen Tokyo
11:00 AM–12:30 PMTake a commemorative photo in the ornate Meiji-era interiors and sit down to a set lunch at the historical hotel said to have inspired the spirit bathhouse in Spirited Away.
Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum
1:45–3:00 PMWander among relocated Taisho and Showa-period buildings — the very streetscapes Miyazaki studied when designing the world of Spirited Away.
Ghibli Museum, Mitaka
3:30–6:00 PMExplore the museum at your own pace: permanent exhibits trace the animation process from sketch to screen, and a dedicated theatre screens an original Ghibli short film exclusive to the museum.
