On this trip I decided to check out the bridge that's called Doryo Bridge in Your Lie in April. The closest train station is Hibarigaoka Station, which is a bit far from the bridge, but you can take a bus from the train station to Hinomishita bus stop which is closer.

This bridge can be seen in the first OP of the show.
Image from Episode 1 - 21m43s
And the first ED as well.
Image from Episode 5 - 00m11s
The bridge is called Maedori-bashi Bridge instead of Doryo Bridge in real life.
Image from Episode 5 - 00m20s
Full view of the bridge. It was a really sunny day when I was here.
Image from Episode 5 - 00m37s
Tsubaki jumps with Kousei from the bridge into the river in a scene from their childhood.
Image from Episode 5 - 00m56s
The river here is called Kurome river.
Image from Episode 5 - 00m58s
Kousei wants to jump again.
Image from Episode 5 - 11m48s
Later in the same episode Tsubaki and Kashiwagi crosses the bridge together.
Image from Episode 5 - 12m15s
The riverbanks are the same.
Image from Episode 5 - 12m22s
The houses near the riverbank is also the same.

Panning shot of the bridge towards the end of the episode.
Image from Episode 5 - 16m30s
Kaori plays hopscotch with some kids on the bridge.
Image from Episode 5 - 16m37s
And then she greets Kousei.
Image from Episode 5 - 16m43s
The riverbank here matches less in this shot.
Image from Episode 5 - 17m52s
Kaori and Kousei talk.
Image from Episode 5 - 19m30s
And then Kaori...
Image from Episode 5 - 19m34s
Pulls out all the stops and...
Image from Episode 5 - 19m52s
Dives right in.
Image from Episode 5 - 19m54s
Kousei observes.
Image from Episode 5 - 20m29s
Before he also jumps.
Image from Episode 5 - 20m52s
I didn't dare to jump in myself, so I got this shot from the riverbank instead ^_^.
Image from Episode 5 - 20m57s
A similar shot as from the beginning of the episode.
Image from Episode 11 - 18m20s
The bridge can also be seen towards the end of episode 11. The buildings in the background here match.
Image from Episode 11 - 18m27s
As does the buildings on the other side. I've marked a path between the buildings on each side of the bridge in the map below.
Image from Episode 11 - 18m38s
No fireflies around when I was here.
Image from Episode 11 - 19m08s
Kaori catches one and lets it go.

awwwwwwwwwww..... is it safe to jump there? I miss this anime! :'(
ReplyDeleteThe water didn't seem very deep so I don't think I'd recommend trying.
DeleteVisiting japan soon and would like to find similar "anime trope" riverbank areas in tokyo. Any recommendations? ^_^
ReplyDeleteHm... There's lots all around Tokyo
DeleteWould have even been legal to jump?
