Some anime has real life locations of Japan in it and we visited one of the most famous anime, Your Name spot in Tokyo Japan. One of the scene in movie has the iconic stairs where the 2 main protagonists met and this is where we are. We went over on the afternoon and the stairs actually has a few tourists/locals around it taking photos too. The magical stairs has since became a tourist spot after the movie. Definitely a must visit hidden gem for anime lovers! Seeing the stairs real life gives us so much vibe from the movie, it’s warms our heart and we enjoy the great views from bottom and top of the stairs. It’s located next to a shrine, so be advised to keep your voices low and we visited the shrine after taking a few videos/photos of the stairs. Make sure to bow before and after going to the shrine as it’s a form of respect. It’s a lovely neighbourhood to walk around too and enjoy the local vibe around too! Location of the stairs: Next to Suga Jinja, Shinjuku City (15min Walking distances from Yotsuya JR station) #wheretogo #weekendgetaways #hiddengems #mytripvlog #japan #awesomepic

"That famous scene from Your Name" Suga Shrine where those stairs are located‼️ It's a 10-15 minute walk from Yotsuya. This view really does appear in the middle of a residential area! When we arrived, there were 1-3 groups of tourists! So it was easy to take photos. It's a shrine, so we worshiped and got a goshuin. If you come to Tokyo, please try going a little further😊#Yotsuya #Yokosuka #YourName #TokyoTourism #Tokyo

#Foreign sensibility The actual background of the Japanese anime Your Name in Tokyo!! The red stairs that became famous as the place where Mitsuha and Taki meet in Your Name are Suga Shrine, located near Tokyo Yotsuya Sanchome Station!

I think it's one of the places where the unique sensibility and colors of Japan are well blended:) #HotPlace #JapaneseEmotion #Animation

Tokyo Suga Shrine (Pilgrimage Series) From the animated film that took our country by storm, “Your Name” to its sequel, “Weathering with You”! Are you ready to go into the places in the movies? The third installment of the “Tokyo Pilgrimage Travel Series” introduces five places of pilgrimage to the movies by director Makoto Shinkai that we visited while traveling around Tokyo, Japan. It starts now! Location: 5-6 Sugacho, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0018 Japan How to get there: Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line Yotsuya Sanchome Station Exit 3, 500m walk (approximately 6 minutes) Pilgrimage site: Stairs in front of Suga Shrine Time required from major locations: Shibuya Station - Take the Ginza Line to Akasaka-Mitsuke Station, transfer to the Marunouchi Line and arrive at Yotsuya Sanchome Station. 500m walk from Yotsuya Sanchome Station Exit 3 (25 minutes total) Tokyo Station - Take the Marunouchi Line to Yotsuya Sanchome Station. 500m walk from Yotsuya Sanchome Station Exit 3 (21 minutes total) The second place in the Shinkai Makoto pilgrimage series that we will introduce today is Suga Shrine in Tokyo! Suga Shrine is a shrine located in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, and is one of the shrines that enshrines Susano, one of the gods in Japanese mythology. There are 80,000 officially registered shrines, and if you include unregistered shrines, there are about 300,000 shrines in Japan. There are shrines that boast large scale and crowds, such as Meiji Shrine in Tokyo and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, but there are also various small shrines, such as shrines in residential areas or shrines in the mountains. Suga Shrine is also a small shrine located in the middle of a residential area. However, this small shrine, which only has a torii gate and a main building, has become a tourist attraction that many people visit while traveling in Tokyo. This is because the stairs of Suga Shrine were featured as the background in the movie "Your Name" by director Makoto Shinkai. The animated movie "Your Name" was a box office hit in Japan and Korea, attracting 3.7 million viewers. Suga Shrine was used as the background for the scene at the end of the movie where the two main characters, now adults, reunite. The red stairs in front of Suga Shrine are where the two main characters, who accidentally meet while riding different trains, dramatically meet. The closest station to Suga Shrine is Yotsuya Sanchome Station on the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line. If you exit through Exit 3 of Yotsuya Sanchome Station and walk for 6 minutes through the residential area, you will come across Suga Shrine and the stairs from the last scene of the movie. The steps in front of the shrine are crowded with local residents and tourists every day. If you want to take pictures on the steps without anyone, we recommend that you start early in the morning. Also, since the surrounding area is a residential area, it is essential to observe the place quietly! tip) The alley from Yotsuya Sanchome Station to Suga Shrine also appears in the movie. This is because in the last scene of the movie, the female protagonist Mitsuha gets off the train at this station to meet the male protagonist Taki. Thanks to this, you can compare the scenes in the movie with the actual alley while walking from the station to the steps in front of Suga Shrine. #moviefilminglocation #japantravel #overseastravel #tokyotravel #lifetraveldestinations #lifeshotspots #jhtour

In the early morning, as you walk through the quiet alleys of Yotsuya, the stone steps of Yotsuya Suga Shrine quietly appear before you. Sunlight filters through, casting dappled shadows on the steps, adding a touch of mystery to this ancient shrine hidden within the bustling city. As you ascend the steps, it feels as if each step leads you to a deeper, more tranquil world. The shrine's architecture is simple yet elegant, with the vermilion torii gates contrasting beautifully with the lush green foliage, creating a picturesque blend of nature and culture. From within the shrine grounds, you can see the city's skyline intertwined with the shadows of trees, as if time stands still here. The air carries a faint, sweet fragrance, inviting you to take a deep breath and find inner peace. It is said that this is the filming location for the famous staircase scene in the movie 'Your Name.' Leaning gently against the stone steps, I imagine the fleeting encounters from the story, perhaps each of us has unspoken feelings in our hearts. Yotsuya Suga Shrine is not only a place for prayers but also a sanctuary for inner reflection, offering a moment of serenity amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

#10월여행지원금이벤트 Your Name has a scene that decorated the finale. Taki and Mitsuha recognized each other and ran towards each other, but they couldn't talk to each other and just passed each other by. At that moment, Taki said something! Those stairs are the stairs right next to Suga Shrine. Unfortunately, I didn't meet anyone.

Explore two locations in Tokyo that are said to be the settings for Makoto Shinkai's films 'Your Name' and 'Weathering with You'. 1. Reunion Stairs Suga Shrine in Yotsuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo. There are stairs at the entrance of the shrine's approach. Places that link to the movie's content, such as Otokozaka and Onnazaka, can also be found. Even the 'Suga' in Suga Shrine... 2. Tabata Station The reunion scene in 'Weathering with You' is also impressive. It's at the south exit of Tabata Station.

At Yotsuya Suga Shrine in Tokyo, I took seven photos showing this shrine full of history and culture. Yotsuya Suga Shrine is a small shrine with a long history, known for its peaceful setting and exquisite architecture. Walking into the shrine, you will be attracted by the quaint shrine gate and the surrounding natural scenery. Every detail here—from the traditional torii gates to the exquisite statues of gods—reflects the unique charm of Japanese Shintoism. During the visit, I felt a deep sense of peace and respect, as if I had entered a secluded holy place. If you enjoy exploring traditional shrine culture, Yotsuya Suga Shrine will be a fascinating destination.

This time going to Tokyo, Japan, Suga Shrine was really a place I've longed to visit. The red stairs where Taki and Mitsuha meet at the end of 'Your Name' are really crowded with people taking photos, and there are many couples too. The location is also easy to find, just a 10-minute walk from the Yotsuya-sanchome station on the Tokyo Metro. The place isn't big, but it really has a nice atmosphere. You can also buy a beautiful charm at Suga Shrine as a souvenir. However, it's quite a niche spot, and there's not much to take pictures of if you come specifically for the pilgrimage. It's mainly about those red stairs.

The stairs going up Suga Shrine has been a popular photo op for travelers to Tokyo as it is the reference of the ending scene location of the animated movie Kimi no Na wa. #culturalattractions
