J-Drama Pilgrimage | Woman (2013) — 江東区役所 / Koharu’s Welfare Application

Episode 1 of NTV’s Woman, broadcast July 3, 2013, sends 青柳小春 / Koharu Aoyagi to a public office to seek welfare after her finances collapse. Nippon TV’s official synopsis independently describes public welfare as Koharu’s last resort, while the Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies the real 江東区役所 / Koto City Office as the building used for that sequence. Koto City still operates the main city office at 4-11-28 Toyo, about a five-minute walk from Toyocho Station. It is a working government building, not a drama attraction, so this memory treats the building as the pilgrimage point and does not claim the exact 2013 welfare counter, room, entrance, actor mark, or camera position. The stored coordinate, 35.672774, 139.817271, is the building-level point linked from Koto City’s official facility map.
