Long Answer
1. Chihiro sees discarded shrines, a Dosojin statue that reappears and seems to point toward the tunnel, and also experiences a strange gust of wind. Chihiro also watches as her parents get lost but continue down the path anyway, recklessly speeding and unconcerned about where they end up. (Various chapters)
2. The transition is depicted first as Chihiro’s father drives into the bush and shrines start appearing. After that, they walk through a dark tunnel, and then cross a river to the “other side.” Once across the river, they start smelling the spirit food and thus interacting with the spirit world. After they have all eaten the spirit food, they officially become part of the spirit world. (Various chapters)
3. When the story begins, Chihiro is skeptical, shy, and pessimistic. She is nervous and scared about entering the tunnel, but this also shows that she follows her instincts and knows when something is wrong.
