I just concluded my own self-guided Kiki's Delivery tour around Visby and the Gamla Stan area of Stockholm, and your video was a great help in my trip planning! I was able to spot all these landmarks and a whole lot more when I was in Visby. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see my own Jiji, but watching the sun set from the viewpoint at Vårdklockegatan and imagining that there was a young witch with a broomstick watching it with me sort of made up for it.

Hey that sounds awesome, I'm happy for you! I'm actually in the process of making a follow up with Aya in Stockholm. Hope you stay tuned for part 2 :)

Miyazaki and Goto visited Stockholm and Visby in 1972. They were there because they wanted to make an animated adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's novels about _Pippi_ _Longstocking_ . At the time, she refused _any_ animated adaptation of her works however. Stockholm is where Lindgren lived. Visby was visited because it was the setting of a previous live-action TV-series adaptation. This was also Miyazaki's first trip outside of Japan, and his first experience of non-Japanese towns. They brought cameras and took many pictures in case Astrid Lindgren would change her mind. Miyazaki's sketches for Pippi Longstocking have been on display at the Ghibli Museum in Kichijoji, Tokyo.

Thanks for sharing the background to the creation of the film! I would love to see those sketches. I've tried to get tickets to the museum prior to going to Japan, but failed twice. The museum to me in my mind is almost a mystical place lol.

It's a great surprise for me. Thank you!

On the official website of Ghibli, it's based on Stockholm and Visby. And Ghibli staffs visited there for this movie.

I've heard that it was inspired also by Naples (Italy) and Lisbon (Portugal). But most, if not all, direct features that have been identified have been found in Stockholm and Visby

It is such a masterpiece! I recommend visiting April-October and definitely book one of Ayas tours, they were so much fun :)

it's actully a little bit of combination of Visby & Stockholm :) There are parts of his imaginary city almost copy pasted from Stockholm, and a couple of shop signs copied, lantern styles in known parks with typical late 1800's stockholm buildings, Kungsgatan and so on. Overall more inspired by visby then stockholm for sure! But it took some inspiration from stockholm for the more central parts of the city, the places you see more off early when she flies around almost getting hit by traffic, and a bit later during the clock tower accident. But it's all really cool imo!

Yeah you're absolutely right, I recognize kungsgatan, söders höjder and stadshuset to name a few. I feel that the essence of Koriko is more Visby tho, but I'm prolly a bit bias :)

​@@joakimnorrby You are correct with the essense! majority of the city is not that small inner part you see early. like I also mentioned, it takes more inspiration from Visby for sure! I feel like he imagined Visby as a little bit bigger city, how the centre might have built up a little bit more during late 1800's, but for the most part kept same aestetics around it, so just took some inspiration from stockholm for smaller innercity part, as stockholm itself is fairly low built, no real skyscrapers, and actully not super big city compared to Japanese standards!

Parts of Stockholm was also largely used as inspiration for Koriko. If you go, you would probably first go by plane to Stockholm and then take a boat from there to Visby.

The clock tower is almost a direct copy of the Stockholm City Hall, except that the real-world tower does not have a clock. However... The tower has a clock in another Swedish movie: "Jönsonligan dyker upp igen", which is a remake of a Danish "Olsenbanden" movie, where the original scene is set in/on the Copenhagen city hall's clock tower.
