Most of JE idol’s PV were shot inside a studio, so when they finally shot something outside it means there’s something special about the place. For example this certain filming location we visited recently, where Hey!Say!JUMP shot their “Asu e no Yell” PV (they shot it inside the building though….).
Have you heard about this park (浜町公園) before? To be honest, we also had no idea until we watched Aiba’s movie “Miracle: Debikuro-kun no Koi to Mahou” (2014). Yes, this is the park where Hikari bumps into So-Young.
To be exact, this is one of Hamacho Station exits in Hamacho Park
What doramas did you watch this summer? If Suki na Hito ga Iro Koto is on your list, this post will be perfect for you. We’re gonna explore filming locations, focusing on Kamakura and Enoshima, of this Fuji TV’s dorama.
SukiKoto, in short
Hisashiburi! We’re back with a post on filming location, yeah! We’re gonna take you to Tennozu Isle in Shinagawa. There are at least 3 bridges in this area. But the most popular one for filming location is probably this one:
Isle Bridge
Looks familiar? Yes, you might have seen it in Lucky Seven, Yamada Taro Monogatari and many other doramas and movies (we just can’t remember them all :p). These two Arashi-member doramas took few scenes in this bridge and its surrounding area. Let’s have a look!
We’re back with another filming location for one of our favorite doramas: Yamada Taro Monogatari! This location is actually a park and quite far from Tokyo’s city center, but it’s lovely. Just take a look at this scene:
Oh, they are actually cherry blossom trees! Bet it’s gonna be very beautiful during spring
Most of filming location that we have visited are located far from the crowd and a bit hard to find, but not this one. You can go there without worry to get lost. Plus it became the location of many famous doramas and movies. Can you guess?
Nope, it’s not in Sapporo.
When you are getting older, your preference of idol might slightly change from cutie JE idols into manly EXILE. So, the next filming location we visited is Cafe TeTes, a chic cafe located in Nishiazabu which became a filming location for one of Mechaike Okaxile (Okamura x EXILE) episode where they did Nampa challenge.
Having one Arashi’s member acts in a dorama is very common. But having two of them as the lead actors in one dorama is a luxury! That’s why Yamada Taro Monogatari is precious. Aired on TBS in summer 2007, this dorama had Arashi’s Ninomiya Kazunari as Yamada Taro and Sakurai Sho as Mimura Takuya.
There are many scenes and places which we found memorable. Remember when those two climbed the Tokyo’s Stairways to Heaven in Atago Shrine? This time, we’re gonna take you down the slope just like what Mimura-kun did when he was stalking Yamada-kun all the way home from school.
Yamada-kun, Mimura-kun, matte kudasai!!
Back in 2010, Arashi stared together in Fuji TV ‘s drama SP titled “Saigo no Yakusoku”. Of course we had to visit their filming location for the “hill of promise” scene. The real one actually called Yuuhi no Oka (hill of sunset) which is located in Sakuragaoka Park, Tama, Tokyo. It’s pretty tricky to go to this location. After getting lost several times (as usual), here we are sharing the easiest way to get there.
Tourists may not be familiar with the name of this place. We also didn’t know anything about it until we saw one of Himitsu no Arashi-chan episodes (TBS, aired 2011.04.28). Nino and Leader took the guest, Horikita Maki, to one bread shop in Setagaya.

For the sake of variety show, they had a quiz where they guessed the price of the served breads. Nino won the first question so he was able to eat the first bread, one of the most popular ones. And his reaction upon eating it has led us to this bread shop.
Intergalactic Yeah!
