\"HELLO WORLD,\" released on September 20, 2019.<\/p>\n
Director Tomohiko Ito is best known for *Your Name.*, but his first feature-length animated film was *HELLO WORLD*.<\/p>\n
The story is set in Kyoto and features many iconic locations.<\/p>\n
So, in this post, I\u2019d like to compile a list of the locations featured in *HELLO WORLD* in Kyoto.<\/p>\n
The story unfolds within a limited circle of characters, including the protagonist, Katagaki Naomi, her future self, Katagaki Naomi, and the heroine, Ichig\u014d Ruri.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start by taking a look at the plot of *Hello World*.<\/p>\n
Kyoto, 2027. Naomichi, a shy high school boy, meets Naomi\u2014his future self from ten years in the future. Naomi tells Naomi that he will become romantically involved with his classmate Ruri, and that Ruri will later lose her life in an accident. Naomi struggles to change the future to save Ruri\u2019s life, and in doing so, he comes to learn about Naomi\u2019s true purpose and the secrets of the world.<\/p>\n
When it comes to buildings that are perfect for a movie set in Kyoto, the Kyoto Tower is definitely the one.<\/p>\n
Anyone who has seen Kyoto Tower in a movie will feel as if they\u2019ve stepped right into the world of the film when they visit the actual location.<\/p>\n
Around 2019, when the movie was released, merchandise such as collectible figures had already started appearing.<\/p>\n
Kyoto Tower, a landmark in Kyoto standing 131 meters tall.<\/p>\n
The tower is 131 meters tall because the city\u2019s population at that time was 1.31 million.<\/p>\n
Kyoto Tower is located in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, and is visible right from the station.<\/p>\n
Kyoto Tower was completed in December 1964 and was built in the motif of a lighthouse illuminating the sea-less city of Kyoto.<\/p>\n
If you climb up here, you'll find an observation deck and a restaurant offering a 360-degree view of Kyoto's shrines and cityscape.<\/p>\n
I would love to climb it when I come to Kyoto on my pilgrimage to the Holy Land.<\/p>\n
