Distant view of Route 20
In *The Garden of Words*, the opening rain scene: a high-angle view of a metropolis under the rain, dense skyscrapers faintly visible in the gray sky, with highway interchanges stretching in the distance, raindrops splashing on the cold ground.

Visit notes
- 该镜头为影片开篇第1分30秒左右的远景，实际取景地位于东京都新宿区西部的甲州街道（国道20号）沿线附近，可眺望京王广场大饭店与新宿中心大厦等超高层建筑。
- 场景中的高速公路立交桥为首都高速4号线新宿入口附近，雨天氛围完美契合影片“孤悲”主题。
