Located in Tokyo’s Yotsuya district, Suga Shrine is a historic and peaceful place. It became famous worldwide as a must-visit spot thanks to Makoto Shinkai's film "Your Name." The iconic red-railed staircase leading to the shrine is the exact location where Taki and Mitsuha finally reunite at the end of the story.
Located inside Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Taisanboku-bashi is a calm and elegant wooden bridge spanning across a pond in the Japanese garden. Surrounded by lush greenery, its reflection on the water changes beautifully with the four seasons.
In the film "The Garden of Words," this bridge appears as the protagonist, Takao, walks through Shinjuku Gyoen. He passes over the bridge quietly in the rain, lost in his thoughts. The film uses delicate lighting and raindrops to create a dreamy atmosphere, symbolizing the solitude and reflection of growing up. In real life, the bridge exudes a simple Japanese beauty. Walking across it, you can feel the same emotions from the movie and imagine you have stepped into Shinkai’s aesthetic world.
Located in Tokyo’s Shibuya district, Sangubashi is a quiet and peaceful station area. In Makoto Shinkai’s "5 Centimeters per Second," Sangubashi and its surroundings serve as a backdrop to the young protagonists' innocent feelings, reflecting the film's themes of subtle sadness and coming of age.
Sangubashi Station
As Takaki and Akari grow apart due to distance, they continue to exchange letters. One night, Takaki tries to call Akari from a phone booth near Sangubashi Station. However, overwhelmed by shyness and unsure how to express his longing, he eventually decides not to make the call. Standing in the booth and looking out at the street through the glass, the night lights and winter atmosphere create a profound sense of solitude.
Yoyogi Hachimangu is a peaceful shrine in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. Surrounded by lush greenery and tucked away from the city's hustle and bustle, it maintains a quiet, ancient atmosphere. In Makoto Shinkai’s "5 Centimeters per Second," this location serves as part of Takaki Tono’s life as an adult, symbolizing the passage of time and the distance between people.
In the film, the adult Takaki walks alone through the streets near Yoyogi Hachimangu. The glimpses of the shrine's torii gate and the surrounding neighborhood capture the quiet, overlooked corners of daily life in Tokyo. This shrine and its streets reflect Takaki’s solitary life in the city and his memories of past relationships. In reality, Yoyogi Hachimangu is a perfect place for quiet reflection, allowing visitors to experience the sense of nostalgia, growth, and the unique "aesthetic of distance" found in Shinkai’s works.
Located in Tokyo’s Suginami district, Kisho Shrine is the only shrine in Japan dedicated to the god of weather. It is famous for prayers for clear skies and favorable weather. Visitors can write their wishes on wooden plaques (ema) shaped like "Teru Teru Bozu" (sunshine dolls).
In the movie "Weathering With You," the protagonist Hina is a "100% Sunshine Girl" with the power to control the weather. Kisho Shrine is one of the real-life locations that most closely aligns with the film's theme. The interplay of sky, sunlight, and rain in the movie resonates with the symbolism of this shrine, making it a must-visit for fans. Standing here, you can feel the film's deep respect for the sky and the subtle shifts of fate.
Located in Nakano District, Tokyo, this is a shopping paradise for fans of anime, games, idols, and vintage collectibles. Known as the "other Otaku mecca" alongside Akihabara, it hosts a vast collection of second-hand toys, figures, manga, doujinshi, vintage film equipment, and idol merchandise. Compared to Akihabara, Nakano Broadway caters more to hardcore collectors, offering rare items that are difficult to find elsewhere.
