Hida City Library A quiet public-building stop often paired with Hida-Furukawa Station on Your Name fan itineraries. Public buildings are active facilities; photography should stay brief and respect staff and visitor flow.

Short photos are fine; long staged sessions or tripods should move to less crowded corners.

Itomori, the film’s fictional town, is based on the Hida region of Gifu Prefecture — particularly the town of Hida (飛騨市). Hida Furukawa train station, the local library, and the surrounding mountain scenery all appeared in the film. Local shops have embraced the anime heritage with Your Name-themed signage, maps, and themed goods. It’s a full day trip from Tokyo: approximately 4 hours by Shinkansen (Tokyo → Nagoya) + JR Takayama Main Line (Nagoya → Hida-Furukawa). A Japan Rail Pass covers the entire journey. If you’re already planning to visit Takayama or Shirakawa-go (both popular day trips from Tokyo ), Hida-Furukawa is a short detour.

Not on a Tokyo-only trip. Hida Furukawa is a 4-hour Shinkansen plus train ride away and makes more sense as a separate 1-night side trip.
