Your Name - Lake

Makoto Shinkai has said that his inspiration for Lake Itomori was Lake Matsubara and Lake Otsuki, so I went and checked them out.



Image from Your Name - 31m59s


I first checked out Lake Matsubara.




Image from Your Name - 10m43s


It's much smaller than Lake Itomori in the movie.




Image from Your Name - 12m08s


Closer look at the lake.




Image from Your Name - 07m01s


This is Lake Otsuki. It's just a few minutes walk away from Lake Matsubara.




Image from Your Name - 37m13s


Lake Otsuki is even smaller than Lake Matsubara.




Image from Your Name - 34m05s


View of Lake Otsuki from a nearby hill.




Image from Your Name - 29m53s


There's also a small shrine with a torii gate on top of the hill, but like a lot of other places it doesn't look anything like the one in the movie.




This is the closest train station which is named Matsubarako Station.




It's quite far away from the lake itself though, so you have to either walk uphill for half an hour or try to catch a bus. As this sign shows the bus stop isn't located at the station though.




So you'd need to walk up the path on the left here to catch the infrequent bus.




The trains are also quite infrequent as you can see from the timetable on the right.




At the train station they had guestbooks.




Mostly seemed to be for people enjoying the nature and lakes.




Some anime drawings though.




I signed the guestbook.

Your Name - Shinkaisansya Shrine

The kagura-den stage shown in Your Name is supposedly based on one located at Shinkaisansya Shrine in real life. The closest train station is Usuda Station, but it's quite far and there's no rental bicycle places nearby, so it might be better to rent a car to get here. Image from Your Name - 14m31s Full view of the stage. Image from Your Name - 14m37s Side of the building. Image from Your Name - 14m48s In real life the back of the stage is seen from this angle instead of the front. Image from Your Name - 15m00s Since the position of the stage isn't the same it's difficult to match this shot. Image from Your Name - 15m03s The insides of the roof is different here. Image from Your Name - 15m10s Back of the stage. Image from Your Name - 15m16s There's another building right in front of the stage in real life.
