Tourists can now experience the
dreamlike world of ‘Spirited Away’ during the Nagasaki Festival in Japan
Upon its initial release in 2001, Hayao Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away”
captured the hearts and imaginations of people from all over the world–making
it the highest-grossing animated film in Japan.
Known as one of Japan’s greatest animation directors, Miyazaki spent so
much time and effort on this creation. From the mesmerizing visuals and music
down to how the plot flows on a dream-logic, people can’t help but speak highly
of Chihiro’s adventure in the spirit realm.
And for people who have always been fascinated by the animated film, a
festival called Nagasaki Lantern Festival in Nagasaki City, Japan, let people
experience the dreamlike world of “Spirited Away.”
During the festival, the city has been filled with red, hanging lanterns
wherein tourists and locals can witness the film’s mystical world and overall
color design.
In a video clip shared by a Twitter user @hitsuji_eat, the train is
passing through the Nagasaki’s Meganebashi Bridge and Hama no Machi shopping
arcade that looks exactly like the way to Yubaba’s Aburaya bathhouse.
The festival features more than 15,000 glowing lanterns within the
Nagasaki’s Chinatown neighborhood–creating an amazing view as the lights
reflect in the puddles of rivers and ponds.
If you want to try an out-of-this-world experience, the Nagasaki Lantern
Festival will be going on until February 19, 2019.
