J-Drama Pilgrimage | コウノドリ Dr. Storks (2015) — 綾瀬市役所 / Persona Rooftop

Drama: TBS『コウノドリ』 / Kounodori / Dr. Storks (2015), scoped specifically to the 10-episode first television series. The 2017 continuation is treated as a separate season and is not mixed into this memory. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies 綾瀬市役所 / Ayase City Hall as the real-world rooftop used for the fictional ペルソナ総合医療センター / Persona General Medical Center. The same guide credits Ayase filming cooperation across Episodes 1–7, 9 and the finale and also identifies the city hall courtyard for hospital conversations, making this municipal complex a recurring component of Persona rather than a one-off background. I use the 16 October 2015 premiere as the date anchor because the rooftop is a recurring series location; this does not claim that a particular rooftop shot first appeared at a precise minute of Episode 1. Together with the Kanagawa Prefectural Cancer Center exterior, it shows how the drama assembled one fictional hospital from multiple real sites. Ayase City Hall remains a working municipal office at 550 Hayakawa, Ayase. Current city information lists general opening hours of 8:30–17:00, but that does not imply public access to the rooftop or filming areas. Visitors should stay in normally public areas and must not attempt to access restricted roofs, offices, or staff-only spaces for scene recreation. The stored coordinate, 35.4371725, 139.4265124, is a building-level anchor for Ayase City Hall. It is not an exact rooftop actor mark, camera position, courtyard bench, or production access point.
