A Silent Voice (Koe no Katachi)
Ogaki drew the whole film, and the city built an official location guide for it.
A Silent Voice is set in **Ogaki**, a canal town in Gifu, and the film reproduces it closely enough that the city publishes an official location guide. The **Midorigoi Bridge** in Shikinohiroba, where the two main characters feed the carp, is the image used on the poster and key visual. Most of the locations sit within walking distance of Ogaki Station along the Suimon River, so this is one of the few pilgrimages you can complete on foot in an afternoon. Ogaki is 30 minutes from Nagoya.
