Hyogo Ward, Kobe

神戸市兵庫区

This area of Kobe was heavily bombed during World War II and served as the primary setting for the film's tragic events. The neighborhood's wartime destruction and subsequent rebuilding provide the historical context for Seita and Setsuko's story.

📺 Scene from the Anime

The residential areas appear throughout the film, particularly in scenes showing the aftermath of the Kobe air raids and the siblings' struggle to find shelter and food.
