| First thing I see, a guide to seeing the actual location in film |
I am one of the many Japanese people who love Studio Ghibli's animations and recently found out the anime "Whisper of the Heart" (Mimi wo sumase ba) 1995 was made from an existing location in Tokyo. During the movie, the station that appeared is called "Sugi no miya" station, however it is actually portrayed after Seiseki Sakuragaoka Station (one of station on Keio Line). Last weekend I was able to take some photo of the locations to show the settings in the anime shown is really similar to right now.
I am actually surprised, finding many couples visiting this site. After all, this movie was actually about a young love story. =)
Chikyu-Ya, an antique shop that stood on top of the hill at the rotary road (in anime). Although it didnt exist in real, the mayor of this town actually built one as a memorial. It is said that if you insert your message, there is high chance of getting it granted, its a post box and you can insert msg inside.
