Your Lie in April - Towa Hall

At the end of the first episode of Your Lie in April we see a building called Towa Hall. This building is the Nerima Culture Center which is located just north of Nerima Station in real life.

At the back of the building is this small park area.

Kousei waiting in the park.

No shoes or leggings here in real life of course.

Reverse angle. None of the houses in the background seems to match.




Image from Episode 1 - 14m53s


This tree isn't a cherry tree in real life.




Image from Episode 1 - 15m06s


There are some cherry trees here though, like these ones.




Image from Episode 1 - 15m11s


Kousei sees Kaori for the first time.




Image from Episode 1 - 15m39s


There's a light pole here and not a children's playground in real life.




Image from Episode 1 - 16m20s


A lot less cherry trees.




Image from Episode 1 - 18m50s


Tsubaki shows up.




Image from Episode 1 - 19m26s


Watari as well.




Image from Episode 1 - 19m43s


For some reason the actual cherry trees here are depicted as other trees in the anime.




Image from Episode 1 - 20m08s


The sitting places in the background aren't as colourful in real life.




Image from Episode 1 - 20m14s


The front of the building.




Image from Episode 1 - 20m17s


Says Nerima Culture Center instead of Towa Hall of course.




Image from Episode 1 - 21m16s


Kaori dragging Kousei along at the end of the first episode.




Image from Episode 2 - 00m25s


Towa Hall at the beginning of the second episode.




Image from Episode 2 - 00m28s


Tsubaki and Watari running towards the entrance.




Image from Episode 2 - 02m07s


I had a quick look inside the building and the clocks were the same as in the show.




They also had this Your Lie in April decorated ice cream vending machine inside.




Image from Episode 2 - 05m55s


Full view of the building from some nearby stairs.




Image from Episode 4 - 03m29s


The building in the background is further away from the stairs in real life.




Image from Episode 4 - 03m31s


The path between the stairs and the building.




Image from Episode 4 - 03m40s


Closer look at the building entrance.

And finally a reverse shot towards the stairs.

  3. Hello! In two days I'm going to Japan and this guide is helping me a lot with my journey! I would like to know if you know the exact point of the intersection of the "Seibu Ikebukuro" line where the last scene happens! I would be very helpful! Thank you very much :)
