Lake Akkeshi
When Marnie Was There

Lake Akkeshi

厚岸湖

This brackish lake connected to the sea in eastern Hokkaido inspired the tidal waters around Marnie's mansion. The lake's unique ecosystem where fresh and salt water mix creates the ethereal water scenes featured prominently in the film.

Scene from the Anime

The lake appears in scenes where Anna and Marnie row together in the small boat, particularly during the magical evening sequences when the mansion appears and disappears
