Noix Western-Style Confectionery

In 1995, Studio Ghibli released the classic animated film "Whisper of the Heart." Nearly 30 years later, this masterpiece continues to captivate audiences. Many of the film's scenes were inspired by locations in Seiseki Sakuragaoka, Tama City, Tokyo, making it a pilgrimage site for fans of "Whisper of the Heart." On a Saturday morning, you can take the Keio Line from Shinjuku to Seiseki Sakuragaoka Station, which takes about 30 minutes. Upon exiting the station, you'll spot the Youth Mailbox near the Earth Shop. Following the walking route, you'll pass iconic locations from the movie, such as the staircase scene, Konpira Shrine, and the large tree roundabout in front of the Earth Shop (Sakuragaoka Roundabout). The journey culminates at NOIX Western-Style Confectionery, a shop filled with "Whisper of the Heart"-themed items. For fans of the film, dedicating 1–2 hours to explore this area is highly recommended. Address: Japan〒206-0013 Tokyo, Tama, Sakuragaoka, 2 Chome−2−9 Sakuragaoka Rotary Shopping District
