Your Name & The Garden of Words: Japan Locations Guide (PDF)

A busy Tokyo crossing, a garden meeting place and a small-town railway platform: the real locations behind Your Name and The Garden of Words offer very different travel days. This compact English guide helps you choose five documented places in Tokyo and Hida-Furukawa, then get from the station to the part you came to see.

Five places, two regional chapters

• Nishi-Shinjuku crossing: explore the layered streets and overhead structure associated with Your Name.

• Shinjuku Gyoen: discover the garden setting of The Garden of Words, with an approach to Shinjuku Gate.

• Hida-Furukawa Station: connect the film's railway imagery with an actual arrival in the town.

• Hida City Library: visit a documented model building that still serves local readers.

• Keta Wakamiya Shrine: follow the stair approach and experience the change from town streets to shrine grounds.

Each entry combines an original place-focused essay with access information, visit-planning notes, photography ideas and linked evidence for the screen connection. Clickable Google Maps and directions links accompany written transport guidance, including the train from Takayama to Hida-Furukawa and the local walking approaches. Tokyo and Hida are separate chapters, not a single afternoon itinerary.

You receive: a 16-page English PDF, standard edition, Volume 08 of Japan on Screen. Download the text for offline reading; opening external maps and source links requires an internet connection. This is a selective companion for fans and curious travel partners, rather than an exhaustive scene catalogue.
