Hijiribashi Bridge is one of the most iconic locations featured in Makoto Shinkai’s film Suzume no Tojimari. It’s the setting for a memorable scene where Suzume chases after Sōta and jumps off the bridge — a dramatic and visually striking moment in the movie.

The bridge overlooks the JR Chūō Line tracks, with Ochanomizu’s buildings and Tokyo’s metal structures in the background — a setting that perfectly captures Shinkai’s signature urban aesthetic.

🚆 Access

• 2-minute walk from Ochanomizu Station (JR Chūō Line, Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line)

• 10-minute walk from Akihabara

📸 Photo tip
Stand on the south side of the bridge sidewalk and aim your shot toward the tracks and the line of buildings in the background.

This is a popular spot among anime fans, but it’s not overly touristy yet.
