Join Shizuka on an exciting journey as she ventures off the beaten path to the quaint hot spring town of Shima Onsen, nestled deep in Gunma prefecture. A Studio Ghibli-esque atmosphere that blankets this place, where a local ryokan is rumored to have inspired the iconic bath house in Ghibli's Spirited Away.

In this video Shizuka not only indulges in calming hot spring waters but also embarks on a food adventure through Shima Onsen's gastronomic wonders. Discover historic cafes, a charming mom-and-pop store, and modern establishments that showcase the diverse and delectable foods this magical town has to offer.

Whether you're a food enthusiast, a travel-lover, or someone seeking a glimpse into the magic of Spirited Away, Let Shizuka guide you through the wonders of Shima Onsen and its unique blend of tranquility, history and delicious discovery.
