Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden

新宿御苑

This expansive national garden serves as the primary setting where the main characters Takao and Yukari meet during rainy mornings. The traditional Japanese garden's gazebo and surrounding landscapes are meticulously recreated in the anime, making it the most iconic pilgrimage site for fans.
