The Garden of Words
The arbour by the pond is where the two characters keep meeting.
Fifty-eight hectares of Japanese, English and French garden behind the Shinjuku towers, with a large greenhouse and a teahouse on the pond.
Why it’s worth it
Shinkai drew the Japanese garden’s arbour almost exactly — go on a wet morning in June and it is the film. Alcohol is banned, which keeps it calm.
