The Japanese animated film "Your Name" (君の名は) has been hugely popular, with box office earnings surpassing 15 billion yen, prompting fans to identify key scenes from the movie. In addition to Tokyo, locations such as Hida-Furukawa Station, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and others have appeared as backdrops in the film. Japanese fans have long had a tradition of visiting real-life filming locations of TV dramas, manga, anime, and movies — a kind of pilgrimage known as "聖地巡礼" (sacred site pilgrimage). This movie was released in Taiwan in October, and Taiwanese fans who watched it are bound to start their own trend of visiting these filming spots. Below are the Tokyo locations featured in the film.

DOCOMO TOWER (DOCOMO Building)

 
The office building scenes in the movie "Your Name" are set around the areas of Shinjuku, Shinanomachi, and Yotsuya, among which the DOCOMO TOWER stands out prominently. When visiting Yoyogi Park in Tokyo to view flowers or autumn leaves, you’re sure to see this uniquely shaped, eye-catching high-rise.

Yotsuya Station and other stations
 
The movie’s scenes are set around the areas of Shinjuku, Shinanomachi, and Yotsuya. Among them, Yotsuya Station is where older student Okudera meets Takagi. Other station scenes, such as Shinanomachi Station, the old-town-style Sendagaya Station, and the metropolitan-style Marunouchi entrance/exit of Tokyo Station, all appear in the film.
