J-Drama Pilgrimage | いつ恋 Love That Makes You Cry (2016) — 相生坂 / From Piggyback to Kiss

Drama: Fuji TV『いつかこの恋を思い出してきっと泣いてしまう』 / Itsuka Kono Koi wo Omoidashite Kitto Naite Shimau / Love That Makes You Cry (2016), scoped to the original 2016 television series. 相生坂 / Aioizaka in Ota is one of the recurring streets that gives Oto and Ren’s early Tokyo relationship its physical geography. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies the Tokaido Shinkansen-side Aioizaka in Nakaikegami for Episode 2, broadcast 25 January 2016, when Ren carries Oto up the slope, and returns to the same slope in Episode 3, broadcast 1 February 2016, for the scene where Oto kisses Ren. Ota’s tourism material also identifies Aioizaka as a local photo spot beside the Shinkansen, between Nakaikegami and Kamiikedai, accessible on foot from Nishi-magome Station. This is an ordinary neighborhood road, not a preserved drama set: keep moving, avoid blocking residents or traffic, and do not photograph into private homes. The stored coordinate 35.5899349, 139.7005659 is a representative point for Aioizaka based on the current mapped location. It is not presented as the exact kiss position, carrying path, actor mark, or camera placement.
