I’m so in love with this. <3 Everything is perfect.
These are so wonderful!!!
Stunningly beautiful, wow! <3
these are so pretty elle <3
Super gorgeous!!!! Loved it!
i love this! reminds me of spirited away!
The museum where this was shot was actually a big inspiration for hayao miyazaki when he made spirited away and my neighbour totoro! Eg the bathhouse and the cat bus ^_^
so true !! I remember when I first saw the movie I was like 4 or 5 years olds. The part where the parents are turned into porks PETRIFIED me. As a muslim I’m not allowed to eat pork but then after the movie I was like, getting away from my mother/grandmother/grandfather/aunties when they used to eat saucisson ou des travers ou des grillades de porc.
Lovely! My favorite is #7

I LOVE 14 and 16 :)
This is wonderful, I love the setting.
SO GOOD. I can’t even handle this. Where does one even find entire cities/places like this!? So well preserved and frankly gorgeous. Great job!
this is the coolest thing ever and basically sums up everything I’m obsessed with right now. how do you always know, Rookie? :) <3
oooh I want to go!!! Where is this place?
There’s a link under the last shot.
Very artsy! Beautiful setting and composition!
I’ve always wanted to go to Japan, and I will…someday.
Absolutely love this article, Rookie! x
beautiful!!!
This is evil. ;_;
I thought I had got over my unrealistic (and expensive and impossible and once again expensive) wish to visit Japan, I thought I got over it when stopped learning the language, but nooo, I still want it, ugh.
This is so beautiful! I can’t wait to study abroad in Japan ♥
I really want to visit Japan despite my brokeness. These pictures are so stunning! I love 17 so much. They look like stills or promo pics for a film. Great set
OMG THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AAAH I’M FREAKING OUT

I’m no architectural geek (sort of wish I was) but the building in #19 is literally the most beautiful thing ever.
Wow. These are amazing!
These photos are all so wonderful! x

This reminds me of the film, Spirited Away <3
#18 is totally Haru from The Cat Returns <3
These photos gave my inner japanophile a bad heart ache <3
I know this is a little late, but these are SO WONDERFUL. <3
Pohtaytoe stole my line! The first thing I thought of when I saw this was Spirited Away, especially the buildings that look like Yubaba’s bath house.
I’ve been to a place very similar to this in Barcelona,Spain called the Poble Espanyol (no, I didn’t misspell it!). It is also beautiful and a little creepy.
Poble Espanyol is a charming place to, I visited it 2 years ago
