Filming Location: Isle Bridge and Higashi-Shinagawa Kaijo Park

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

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!

Filming Location: Saigo no Yakusoku – Hill of Promise

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.

Filming Location: Ending Scene of Shinigami-kun Dorama

Yeah! Starting this month, we have special posts about filming locations. Didn’t we tell you that we are very dedicated Arashi’s fangirls? We tried our best to search, find, visit, and reenact the scenes of Arashi’s doramas/movies/shows. In addition to our 5-rainbow-colored boys, we also have our ultimate bias, Ikuta Toma, and other JE units/talents and Japanese idols. We are bringing them here for you!

Wait, for those who are not Japanese idols’ fans, you can still enjoy our posts because the places are surprisingly interesting! They are not popular among tourists, so limited info and reviews are available there. By reading our posts, we hope you find useful information about those hidden gems in Japan 😉

Let’s start with a dorama called Shinigami-kun. If you’re an Arashi’s fan or a J-dorama freak, you must be familiar with it. TV Asahi aired it on April-June last year. Among the 9 episodes it has, we found that the last one captured the most memorable scene. Yes, the ending scene! (don’t worry, this is not a spoiler)

Fuji TV – Part 1

Di Jepang, stasiun TV bisa jadi tempat wisata sekaligus belajar loh. Di Indonesia juga bisa sih, jadi tempat wisata musik sambil belajar joget-joget mungkin (eh, masih jaman?). Hampir semua gedung stasiun TV di Jepang punya display area dan souvenir shop yang bisa dikunjungi umum. Salah satu yang yang menawarkan fasilitas ini adalah Fuji TV. Mereka bahkan punya paket tur yang memungkinkan pengunjungnya mengeksplor gedung sampai ke lantai 25.

Area di Fuji TV yang bisa dimasuki oleh umum sebetulnya hanya di lantai 1, 5, 7, dan 24-25. Di tujuh lantai pertama pengunjung bebas keluar-masuk. Tetapi untuk bisa ke lantai 24 dan 25 perlu tiket berbayar. Ada apa sih di sana? Sabar, mari jajaki lantainya satu-persatu.
