Rainy Pavilion Bridge
In *The Garden of Words*, Takao Akizuki and Yukari Yukino meet on rainy days in a park. There is a wooden pavilion surrounded by greenery, and a small bridge over a pond beside it where they often walk. The camera frequently shows rain dripping from the bridge and the pavilion eaves, with layers of trees and the silhouette of city skyscrapers in the background.

- 动画中雨中的场景参考了真实天气与光影，新宿御苑的东屋在现实中是游客休憩的场所，雨天尤为静谧。
- 本片导演新海诚特别注重雨的质感，该场景的雨滴动画使用了实拍与手绘结合的技术。
