Planning it alone
The trip excites you,
but prep is the hard part
- Digging through dozens of Google Maps tabs and blog posts just to plan the spots and route
- You get there and it’s closed, under construction, or off-limits on weekdays — a wasted trip
- Iwafune (Tochigi) is 1.5-2h from Tokyo — combining it into a day route is tricky. Tanegashima is a separate course
- Going solo means there’s no one to snap your photo
What's in the package
So you can tour right on arrival —
we sort it all out
- From Sangubashi and Yoyogi-Hachiman in Tokyo to snowy Iwafune Station
- Sangubashi crossing · Sangubashi Park · Yoyogi Hachimangu Shrine · Iwafune Station (Tochigi)
- Sangubashi crossing — The cherry-blossom crossing from 'Ouka Shou'
- Sangubashi Park — The hillside path from the opening and the epilogue
- Yoyogi Hachimangu Shrine — The torii gate the two once stood beneath as children
- Iwafune Station (Tochigi) — The station of their reunion on a snowy night
