Video of Kimi no na wa scenarios
Recently the Japanese Online Program team had the opportunity to visit Tokyo and recorded a comparative video of the real scenarios of Kimi no na Wa. I have good memories, because on the previous trip with the course class, I had seen the film in Poster. Years later the team had the opportunity to visit the sights, it's a pity I couldn't go with them.

Unfortunately, there is no real city called Itomori in Japan. But the images in the film pretty much represented the true location of the sights we are going to see now in Gifu and Nagano Prefecture.
In the image above you will find one of the most important points of the animation, the lake that is a great tourist spot in the city of Itomori, in real life this lake is called Suwa and is located in the city of Suwa in Nagano Prefecture.
In the images below we will see some highlights of Gifu Prefecture. First the Hida Furukawa station and then the Hida Sannogu shrine which served as a model for the Miyamizu shrine that appears in the film.
The next image shows one of the main points of the film; in real life, it's an island called Aogashima. To reach this island in real life, you need to take a helicopter from the city of Hachijojima.
In addition to the prefectures of Gifu and Nagano, the film takes place in Tokyo and has several highlights.
