Kiki's Delivery Service.
According to Miyazaki, it's "a

Mediterranean sea, but another side seems to border on the Baltic sea."
Miyazaki and his main staff visited Visby on the Swedish island of
Gotland, and they also visited Stockholm. They shot 80 rolls of film in
Stockholm and Visby, gathering location images as inspiration for the
scenes in Koriko. For the most part, Koriko is composed of images of
Stockholm. A side street in Stockholm's old city, Gamla Stan, is one
model. (Tsao, 2016)

Victorian Mission duplexes line hilly San Fransokyo neighborhoods, aglow from the pink-white light of Japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom below. Trains from the Yamanote and Chuo lines, two of Tokyo’s central and most popular railways, stream by on elevated tracks. The sprawling Yokohama Bay Bridge connects the financial district to San Francisco’s East Bay, which may well be home to Oaksaka and Berkyoto in this Japan american universe (kelts, 2014).
