The beautifully preserved Edo-period streetscape of Takehara serves as the main setting for Tamayura. Known as the "Little Kyoto of Aki," these historic streets with white-walled storehouses and latticed merchant homes are where protagonist Fu explores photography and cherishes memories of her late father.
📺 Scene from the Anime
Fu walks these historic streets daily with her camera, capturing the gentle beauty of everyday life in this quiet town, creating photographs that contain mysterious orbs of light she calls "tamayura."
