LOADING MISSION...
Your Name (Kimi no Na wa) is one of the highest-grossing anime films of all time, and its filming locations are famously documented across real Tokyo neighborhoods and the town of Hida Furukawa in Gifu. Fans travel thousands of miles every year to recreate iconic scenes at Suga Shrine, the Yotsuya overpass, and the train stations that Taki and Mitsuha race through in the film's unforgettable finale.
Spring (March-May) for cherry blossoms near Suga Shrine, or autumn (October-November) for the golden light that matches the film's aesthetic. Hida Furukawa is stunning in winter snow.
Tokyo locations are accessible via JR Yamanote Line and metro. Hida Furukawa is reachable by Limited Express Hida from Nagoya (2.5 hours) or Toyama (1 hour). A JR Pass covers both.
Tokyo spots are free to visit. Budget ¥20,000-30,000 for transport to Hida Furukawa from Tokyo. Allow 2-3 days for the full pilgrimage.
