6:00 Entering the Chūō Expressway. This tollgate is probably the one at the Kunitachi-Fuchū Interchange (国立府中IC). Kazetachi (風立), where Hime-chan lives, is a fictional town based on Kunitachi (国立), a real city in the suburbs of Tokyo. | |
6:33 Driving west toward outside of Tokyo. This place is still in Tokyo. Probably the bridge over Tama River (Tama-gawa 多摩川). | |
7:54 Now around Sagamiko (相模湖), a small town in the mountains by the border of Tokyo and Kanagawa. This place is already in Kanagawa. | |
7:55 In Kanagawa, near Sagamiko. Lake Sagami is in the town of Sagamiko, and there are a lot of rivers and bridges around it. | |
8:00 Exiting from the Chūō Expressway. There are only two exits around this place; this must be either the Sagamiko Higashi Interchange (相模湖東IC) or the Sagamiko Interchange (相模湖IC). |
