Mitaka, in the western part of Tokyo Metropolis between Shinjuku and Kichijoji, is internationally famous as the home of Studio Ghibli, the animation studio founded by Hayao Miyazaki whose films including My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Princess Mononoke have made Mitaka a pilgrimage destination for animation fans from around the world visiting the Ghibli Museum on the edge of Inokashira Park. Mitaka Onsen Tokyo draws on chloride-rich thermal waters from the geological resources of the western Tokyo plain, offering restorative baths in a city whose extraordinary animation heritage, the beloved Inokashira Park lake and woodland, and the easy access to Kichijoji's vibrant café and culture scene create a highly engaging and culturally rich spa destination in western Tokyo. The Ghibli Museum Mitaka with its unique architectural experience and exclusive short films, the Inokashira Park lake boating and zoo, and the Osamu Tezuka Museum in nearby Tezuka Osamu Memorial Hall make Mitaka one of the most manga and animation-pilgrimage-friendly spa destinations in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
