Ketawakamiya Shrine (Your Name / Hida-Furukawa)

気多若宮神社

Gifu · Chubu

This hillside shrine in Hida-Furukawa is one of the pilgrimage stops in the town Makoto Shinkai used as the model for Itomori in 'Your Name' (Kimi no Na wa); fans cite its stone stairway and forested grounds as a real-world reference for the film's Miyamizu Shrine, where Mitsuha's family keeps its shrine traditions. Hida-Furukawa is where Taki's group searches for Mitsuha's hometown, and the shrine sits a short walk from Hida-Furukawa Station, which also appears in the film. Visitors climb the steps to a quiet komainu-guarded hall away from the town's canal streets.

Why we picked it

A local guardian shrine in a small Hida town; known to Your Name pilgrims but with no official film branding, and overshadowed by Takayama nearby.
