This immersive 4K walking tour takes viewers through Yotsuya Sanchome in Tokyo, highlighting several locations made famous by the hit animated film ‘Your Name’ (君の名は). Starting at the Higashi-Fukuin-zaka (東福院坂) and quickly arriving at the entrance of Suga Shrine (須賀神社), the video guides you up the now-iconic staircase central to key scenes in the movie. Fans of Japanese pop culture will immediately recognize these steps and appreciate the careful exploration of the surrounding neighborhood.

The route continues into the precincts of Suga Shrine, a peaceful Shinto shrine that has gained international popularity thanks to its cinematic appearance. The detailed walk also covers local alleys (闇坂, yamisaka), narrow backstreets, and significant religious sites such as Youun-ji Temple (陽運寺) and Oiwa Inari Tamiya Shrine (於岩稲荷田宮神社). These stops offer viewers a blend of spiritual and cultural touchpoints, with insight into daily life and less-touristy paths that locals frequent.

The final segments wind along Entsuji-zaka (円通寺坂) and loop back to Higashi-Fukuin-zaka, ending at Shinjuku-dori (新宿通り), a major thoroughfare. This walking tour not only serves as a virtual pilgrimage for fans of ‘Your Name’ but also provides an authentic slice of Tokyo’s cityscape, architecture, and shrine culture. Yotsuya Sanchome, while not as crowded as central Shinjuku or Shibuya, offers its unique charm and historical references, making it a must-see neighborhood for pop-culture enthusiasts and city explorers alike. Suga Shrine itself is accessible from either Yotsuya or Yotsuya Sanchome subway stations and is a frequent destination for both tourists and local worshippers.

Along the journey, viewers will also witness the challenges of navigating summer Tokyo under a parasol—adding a touch of realism and travel tips for those considering their own visit.
