Evening Dialogue by the Oguri River
In *Whisper of the Heart*, Shizuku Tsukishima and Seiji Amasawa walk side by side along a quiet riverbank at dusk. The river glistens, reeds sway on the shore, and gentle hills rise in the distance. They share their aspirations: Seiji speaks of his dream to study violin making in Italy, and Shizuku responds with her own determination to become a writer. The setting sun lengthens their shadows, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere.

Visit notes
- 该场景取景于东京多摩市的小栗川，河堤至今保留着与动画中相似的景色。
- 影片中这条河是男女主角放学后常走的路线，体现了吉卜力对日常风景的精细描绘。
- 小栗川周边在1990年代还是自然风貌，如今已成为散步道，但动画中的氛围依旧可寻。
