    \"Jujutsu Kaisen\" is a manga series by Gege Akutami that has been serialized in \"Weekly Shonen Jump\" since 2018. It was adapted into a TV anime in 2020, and a feature film was released in December 2021. The story depicts the battle between \u201ccurses\u201d\u2014which are born from human negative emotions\u2014and the sorcerers who exorcise them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The movie adapts the story of \"Jujutsu Kaisen 0,\" which serves as a prequel to the manga series.
    The story centers on Yuta Otokotsu\u2014who lost his childhood friend\u2014as he enrolls in the Jujutsu High School under the guidance of Satoru Gojo, the strongest jujutsu sorcerer, and grows as he meets his classmates. The plot then unfolds into a large-scale incident orchestrated by Kei Natsume, a cursed-tech user who was once expelled from the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the story, Kyoto serves as one of the settings for the events, alongside Shinjuku, and several real-life Kyoto landmarks\u2014such as the Kyoto Tower, Fushimi Inari Taisha, and the streets of Gion\u2014are depicted as backdrops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This Kyoto landmark, which towers over the area in front of Kyoto Station, is a spot that makes a symbolic appearance in the Kyoto segments of the film.
    It is also known as the filming location for numerous anime and movies, such as \u201cDetective Conan,\u201d \u201cSound! Euphonium,\u201d and \u201cK-ON!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Completed in 1964, Kyoto Tower was built by joining cylindrical steel plates without using any steel frames, making it the first tower in Japan to adopt this architectural style. Designed with the motif of \u201ca lighthouse illuminating the landlocked city of Kyoto,\u201d it stands 131 meters above ground level and is the tallest structure in Kyoto. From the observation deck, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view stretching from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and T\u014d-ji Temple all the way to Mount Hiei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note that, under a naming rights agreement, the current official name is \u201cNidec Kyoto Tower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
