Suga Shrine Steps


Anime: Your Name
Director: Makoto Shinkai
Location: Tokyo, Japan

Your Name

is an anime about two teenagers living two completely opposite lives: one of them is a boy who lives in the heart of Tokyo, and the other a girl living in the Japanese countryside. Both of them are unsatisfied with their own lives, and long to be in each other's shoes. Suddenly, however, they begin to switch bodies at random. This effect confuses the both of them, but they slowly begin to understand the situation. Over time, they get to know each other without ever seeing each other's faces. This unlikely story brings many highs and lows, all of which made for both an emotional and exciting anime. During the iconic closing scene of the movie, the two of them finally meet in Tokyo at a peaceful outdoor stairway. This stairway is based off of a real one in the Yotsuya District in Tokyo, which leads up to the Suga Shrine:
