[[File:Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum-insideabuilding.jpg|thumb|210px|right|The [[Takahashi Korekiyo]] residence in the [[Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum]] was one of Miyazaki's inspirations in creating the spirit world's buildings.]]Miyazaki based some of the buildings in the spirit world on the buildings in the real-life [[Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum]] in [[Koganei, Tokyo]], Japan. He often visited the museum for inspiration while working on the film. Miyazaki had always been interested in the Pseudo-Western style buildings from the [[Meiji period]] that were available there. The museum made Miyazaki feel nostalgic, "especially when I stand here alone in the evening, near closing time, and the sun is setting – tears well up in my eyes."<ref name="nausicaa"/> Another major inspiration was the Notoyaryokan, a [[Ryokan (Japanese inn)|traditional Japanese inn]] located in [[Yamagata Prefecture]], famous for its exquisite architecture and ornamental features.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tenkai-japan.com/2010/05/29/notoya-in-ginzan-onsen-stop-businees-for-renovation/ |title=Notoya in Ginzan Onsen stop business for renovation. | Tenkai-japan:Cool Japan Guide-Travel, Shopping, Fashion, J-pop |publisher=Tenkai-japan |date=1 July 2010 |accessdate=6 May 2013}}</ref> While some guidebooks and articles claim that the old gold town of [[Jiufen]] in Taiwan served as an inspirational model for the film, Miyazaki has denied this.<ref>{{cite web|title=Focus Newspaper: Hayao Miyazaki, 72 year old Mischievous Youngster (from 3:00 mark) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJ9BnbkRzOg|publisher=TVBS TV|accessdate=5 July 2015}}</ref> The [[Dōgo Onsen]] is also often said to be a key inspiration for the Spirited Away onsen/bathhouse.<ref>[http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5502.html Dogo Onsen] japan-guide.com</ref>
