Tearoom Cattleya in the drama series "Omoni Naitemasu" (2012) is "Tearoom Flora" in actual life here in Sumida Ward. The scenes are shot without rearranging the tables and chairs, so you can steep yourself in the world of the drama. You will be entranced with the nostalgic atmosphere it creates.

In the drama "Omoni Naitemasu" (2012), "Sakurabashi Bridge" across the Sumida River was used by Keisuke Akamatsu (Yuichi Nakamaru) as a place on the way the studio. This spot appears often in the drama, and being in the form of X is one of it's noticible features. Connecting the Sumida and Taito, it is the only pedestrian bridge Sumida River, and from it you can see the Sky Tree stand out.

Among others the scenes where Jin (Toru Kazama) jumps into a river, the scene where Teshigawara Genkosan (Yoshiyuki Tsubokura) shouts to Tsune Fuchikawa (Mayuu Kusakari) in the 2012 drama "Omoni Naitemasu" were taken here at the Genmoribashi bridge in Sumida-ku.

Hohoemi Park in Hino City is featured as ‘Aobanishi Park’ in episode 2 of the drama series “The Public Enemy” (2017).

Hino City is located almost in the center of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and consists mostly of residential neighborhoods. The Tama River runs through the city which is distinctively lush in greenery.

I hope you will enjoy this pleasantly entertaining drama series.’ (Hiro Kanai, director of “The Public Enemy”)

The movie "Tokyo Ghoul" (2017) was filmed at Rikkyo University as Kamii University, in Toshima ward, Ikebukuro Campus.
The story originally was created having Rikkyo University as a base. Normally, the University staff will not rent the campus for filming, but this time the production team tried really hard to get approval and succeeded. This was our first choice of all locations and it was very easy to film there. From the first time I started to hunt for a filming location, I felt this University would be a great set no matter where you aim the camera. The buildings are all old architecture with the feel of history, and were all beautiful. I wished to film more from this location. The challenge we had at this location would be that there was too much ivy. The scene called for a fall seasonal effect, but during filming it was mid summer and the ivy was very overgrown (lol). We had to remove some of the color to make it seem less summer like. The most memorable moment from the shooting at Rikkyo University would be the scene where Hide (Kai Ogasawara) and Kaneki (Masataka Kubota) walked together. In the original story, in this scene where Hide is becoming distant from Kaneki, Hide is walking with his arms crossed behind his head. We don't normally walk like that. But this scene was required it of me and I wished to do it. It was hard to make it seem natural, given that this is pretty unnatural, according to movie "Tokyo Ghoul" Director, Kentaro Hagiwara.

The bridge is a symbol of the reconstruction efforts after the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, and was built using the most advanced technology of the time. Together with Eitai Bridge and Kachidoki Bridge, which also span Sumida River, Kiyosu Bridge was designated as a national Important Cultural Property in 2007. The elegant suspension bridge is said to have been built following the recommendations of literary artists and painters. The night illumination of the bridge is also a must-see.

The last scene of the movie “Harmonium” (2016) was filmed on Sunniwa Bridge in Nishitama District.

The bridge spans over the upper part of Tama River, between upstream Okutama and downstream Ome, and is surrounded by the deep green of the Okutama area. From the bridge, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the tapestry the valley and limpid stream create. Mountain paths along the valley as well as areas of the dry river bed are maintained as hiking and trekking courses. It’s a perfect spot to fully enjoy nature away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Along with your visit of the location, make sure to enjoy a leisurely stroll along the valley or a therapeutic walk in the forest.
