The charming pottery district of Tokoname City is the primary real-world setting of A Whisker Away. The narrow hillside paths lined with ceramic pipes and pottery studios are faithfully recreated in the film, making this one of the most recognizable anime pilgrimage spots in Aichi Prefecture.
📺 Scene from the Anime
The Yakimono Walk pottery path with its iconic brick walls and ceramic-lined alleys appears throughout the film as the town where Miyo lives and where she transforms into a cat.
