昼顔 (2014) | 泉の森 — Sawa & Kitano's recurring meeting park

Drama: 昼顔～平日午後3時の恋人たち～ / Hirugao (2014), also known in English as Hirugao: Love Affairs in the Afternoon. Verified filming role: 全国ロケ地ガイド identifies 大和市泉の森 (Izumi no Mori) as the park where 笹本紗和 (Sawa Sasamoto) and 北野裕一郎 (Yuichiro Kitano) repeatedly meet. The guide credits 泉の森 for episodes 2–4 and 9 and specifically places Sawa going there to meet Kitano in episode 2, broadcast 2014-07-24. This makes the park a recurring location rather than a one-scene insert. Pilgrimage context: The real 泉の森 is a large nature park around the source of the Hikiji River. Yamato City’s current official page describes a 42-hectare green space with wetlands, paths, a nature observation center and other public facilities; Kanagawa Prefecture lists the address as 1728 Kamisoyagi, Yamato. The stored coordinate is a park-level pin, not a claim for the exact 2014 bench, path, actor position or camera mark. Stay on public paths and treat the natural environment as the attraction, since the precise drama blocking has not been independently preserved.
