Real-life location of Your Name’s anime-only lake discovered, still holds a beautiful surprise soranews24.com

Itomori may not be an actual city, but here’s where the hometown of Your Name’s female lead would be in real-life Japan.
Hit anime movie Your Name splits its scenes between Tokyo, home of male lead Taki, and Gifu Prefecture, where Mitsuha, his body-swapping female counterpart, lives.
Itomori has similarities to Hida, an actual Gifu town, but the two are still meant to be different places, as both cities are visited by the characters during the movie’s events.
However, you can see exactly where Itomori would be, if it really existed, right now by using Google Maps.
▼ There’s no lake there in real life, but drawing one in further proves that this is the spot on the map that Shinkai utilized.
