  • Still can't believe I got to spend a night at the Spirited Away Sekinenkan onsen in Gunma!
    From the red bridge to the wooden building, the place looked straight out of a ghibli movie!
    Dating back to the Genroku era (1691) Sekinenkan is said to be the oldest ryokan in Japan.
    Hidden deep in the mountains of Nakanojo machi, the ryokan is in quite a remote area but as you approach the inn you can see traditional structures and shops reminiscent of old-time Japan.
    When you arrive at Sekizenka Ryokan, you will be greeted by the famous red Keiun bridge and the main building, which served as one of the models for the bath house in the Hayao Miyazaki film, Spirited Away. The place is even more magical by night as the lights come on to welcome all the guests! 🐉

    Please do not be offended if I point out that some travelers may be confused by this.
    Sekizenkan (積善館) is the name of the hotel.
    The name of the hot spring is Shima Onsen (四万温泉).♨

      I love to stay in Ryokan especially at old city or town everytime I come to Japan instead of western modern hotel as long as my budget allows . So I can imagine how much this Ryokan may damage my bank account 😁

      The only downside of Japan is the people. The Japanese people are the most xenophobic on planet earth, and once you know the language, you quickly realize how the japanese people actually look at the "gaijin"

    spirited away was showing in disney channel when I was like 8 or 7 I only got to see the half of it and cried when haku got to know his real name, I saw the movie name, memorize it and so as the date and time it will show again then I waited and watched it again but now from the beginning. Years passed, I was 16 then decided to rewatch it again since I can't remember the bits of it. It feels as though I was a kid again 😂 so many rewatches happened next. Now I'm 21 Spirited away feels like home, it comforts me and at the same time it pains me to watch it for the nth time which I enjoyed watching since I was a kid. If I'll ever get a chance to visit Japan, I will DEFINITELY come here. これを私たちと共有していただきありがとうございます 💖

      ​@@SolLife_hello, i really love your video! It was a nice walk-through of the ryokan, however i have a question, do you need to have a japanese post code to make reservations? I am hoping to book for me and my parents. On their website it seems to be the case, how can foreigners book sekizenkan without a japanese post code?
      It would be a big help if you can kindly reply, thank you so much in advance! 🤗

    Thank you for uploading these amazing videos. I have wanted to have a stay-cation in Japan for the longest time. However my life has yet to afford me that opportunity; so it is awesome to see so many high quality videos seeing the wealth of diversity Japan has to offer. The abundant natural beauty, wonderful landscapes year round is so invigorating to behold--even behind a computer screen. (Not to mention the food that you show off) I wish you and yours the best in the coming year!
