I have been to Shioshima in the film, this town is called Mitarai, and all the scenes are extraordinarily friendly.

Because I went to this ancient town in the Meiji era in the Mitarai area first, I saw the posters of this film all over the street and attracted me. After watching this movie again, I felt very intimate.

The shrines, roads, quaint houses, old post offices, watch shops, vegetable fields, hospitals, seasides, bridges and the fancy designs in front of every house in the film have been photographed by myself, and even a large number of scenes in the film have been photographed by myself. The photos are all of the same framing.

Therefore, people who have been to Shioshima, watching this film again, will no longer just enjoy the feeling of an animation.

You will be completely conquered by the old streets from 1691 to 1885, which have not been turned into ancient towns, scenic spots or historical sites, but only marked with a low-key "National Park" sign.

In the local area, you can see incomparably huge ancient trees with hundreds of years, complete ancient buildings in the Meiji period, aboriginal people who still live and farm in each household, and a quiet street scene with no tourists at all.

Makes you feel that this place must have all kinds of cute elves infested.
