Shinjuku Gyoen East Pavilion area
In *The Garden of Words*, on a rainy morning in the rainy season, the young boy Takao Akizuki goes alone to a pavilion in a park to take shelter. He sits on a bench there, intently sketching a design for women's shoes. Then a woman in a white blouse and blue skirt—Yukari Yukino—enters the same pavilion to escape the rain and sits beside him, holding a can of beer. Their first conversation unfolds amid the quiet sound of rain, setting the story in motion.
