Tanegashima Space Center Entrance
In *5 Centimeters per Second*, the second chapter shows the entrance road to a massive rocket launch site on the island where the protagonist Takaki Tohno lives. The road is lined with lush tropical vegetation, and in the distance a white rocket launch tower is visible. The female lead Kanae Sumita often cycles past this spot, gazing up at rockets soaring into the sky.
