Terms of Use

By accessing inspiredbyplaces.com (the "Site"), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Nature of our content

Inspired by Places publishes independent travel writing for general information only. Travel details — prices, opening hours, ticketing rules, schedules — change frequently; always verify critical details with official sources before travelling. We make reasonable efforts to keep content current but do not warrant that it is complete, accurate, or up to date at the moment you read it.

Independence and third-party references

Inspired by Places is an independent publication. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Studio Ghibli, Ghibli Park, the Ghibli Museum, or any theme-park operator, railway company, or tourism authority mentioned on the Site. Third-party names and trademarks are referenced solely for identification and information and remain the property of their respective owners.

On location claims

Associations between animated films and real-world places are, in most cases, not officially confirmed by any studio. Where we describe such associations, we indicate their status as documented or as popular resemblance. These descriptions are editorial commentary, not statements of fact about any studio's creative process.

Intellectual property

All original text, design, and graphics on the Site are the property of Inspired by Places and protected by copyright. You may freely share links to our articles. Reproducing substantial portions of our content without permission is not allowed.

Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site — including disrupting its operation, scraping content at scale, or using it for any unlawful purpose.

Third-party links

The Site links to external websites for convenience. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party sites.

Advertising

The Site displays advertising, including ads served by Google. Advertisers are responsible for their own ad content, and the presence of an ad is not an endorsement.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Inspired by Places shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content, including travel decisions made on the basis of our guides.

Changes
