Following the success of its hotels in China and Tokyo, Muji Hotels’ latest accommodation is set in the Nagasa area of Kamogawa City in Chiba Prefecture, which is a 90-minute car ride away from Tokyo.

After days of exploring the hustle and bustle of Japan’s major cities, cap off your vacation by going on a healing stay at Muji Base. Fans of Studio Ghibli films will feel like they’re on the set of My Neighbor Totoro (1988) as the old house overlooks rice fields and mountains. In fact, Kamogawa is home to Oyama Senmaida, the closest terraced rice field from Tokyo.
