Last updated: May 2026. Quiet Tokyo neighborhood stairs, residential areas like Yotsuya hide famous anime locations In 2016, Makoto Shinkai’s “Your Name” ( Kimi no Na wa / 君の名は。) became the highest-grossing anime film of its time and introduced millions of international viewers to the concept of anime pilgrimage . Nearly a decade later, the stairs at Suga Shrine in Shinjuku’s Yotsuya neighborhood still draw fans from around the world — smartphones held up to match the exact angle of the film’s final, devastating scene. But the film’s real-life locations extend far beyond that one famous staircase. Shinkai and his team reproduced every Tokyo location with obsessive accuracy, the handrails, the surrounding buildings, the precise angle of afternoon light. Visiting these locations in sequence creates a walking route that takes you through parts of Tokyo that most tourists never see, and that hits differently once you’ve watched the film. This is seichi junrei (聖地巡礼): “holy land pilgrimage.” The practice of visiting real places that inspired anime scenes. And “Your Name” remains one of the most rewarding anime to do it with.
