The Spirit Realm is largely similar and directly linked to the Human World (though individuals from the Human World are rarely seen and scorned upon in the Spirit Realm). It has a substantially less polluted environment and less advanced technology. In exchange for their lack of technology, some inhabitants of the Spirit Realm are known to be capable of practicing magic as well as exhibit various other inhuman powers.

Template:Infobox location The Spirit Realm (霊界 reikai, lit. spirit world) is the main setting for the Japanese animated film Spirited Away. It is home to The Bathhouse owned by Yubaba and Zeniba's Cottage, two of the film's core locations. Unlike the Human World, most of The Spirit Realm's occupants usually go about their activities in the night rather than the day.

Geography

The Spirit Realm is largely similar and directly linked to the Human World (though individuals from the Human World are rarely seen and scorned upon in the Spirit Realm). It has a substantially less polluted environment and less advanced technology. In exchange for their lack of technology, some inhabitants of the Spirit Realm are known to be capable of practicing magic as well as exhibit various other inhuman powers.

Like the Human World the Spirit Realm is quite large in size, with most of its revealed locations covered in a vast amount of water. Spirits who wish to travel from one place to another take the one-way train or a luxurious boat to cross the water. The one-way train introduced in the film stops by a total of six stations before resting.

Currency

The currency of the realm (as shown in various scenes from the film) are small solid gold pieces. They are considered rare and extremely valuable by Yubaba and most Bathhouse Workers. The exact transaction amount for a gold piece and the Japanese Yen is not shown or mentioned in the movie.

Notable Locations

The Tunnel

The Tunnel is what connects the Human World to the Spirit Realm. It is depicted (from the perspective of individuals in the Spirit Realm) as a large clock tower built onto a plaster-made tunnel. When active, it has a red, green and dark brown color scheme. When inactive, it becomes a regular moss-covered rock tunnel with no exit.

The Bathhouse

The Bathhouse is the most prominent location in the Spirit Realm as well as the core setting for Spirited Away. It is located on one of the realm's many islands and is surrounded by various food stalls and restaurant districts. It opens around sunset and is most active during the night.

Zeniba's Cottage (The Sixth Station)

Zeniba's Cottage is another important location in Spirited Away. It is located in the sixth and last station of the one-way train's route and is surrounded by uncluttered space, several other cottages and undisturbed nature. Whether this location in the realm is more active during the day or night is not mentioned or elaborated on in the film.

Unnamed Land

At the start of the film, Chihiro finds herself waist-deep in sea water and also spots a luxurious ocean liner crossing the vast amount of water to reach the land in which Yubaba's Bathhouse is located on. The ocean liner comes from an unnamed piece of land with many bright lights accentuating its countless buildings.
