昼顔 (2014) | 千葉市動物公園 — Episodes 5–6 rendezvous

Drama: 昼顔～平日午後3時の恋人たち～ / Hirugao (2014).

Verified filming role: 全国ロケ地ガイド identifies 千葉市動物公園 (Chiba Zoological Park) as the zoo where Sawa Sasamoto and Yuichiro Kitano arrange to meet in episode 5, broadcast 2014-08-14, and records the pair at the same zoo again in episode 6. The location therefore belongs to the central Sawa–Kitano arc rather than a background establishing shot.

Pilgrimage context: Chiba Zoological Park is still an operating municipal zoo at 280 Minamoto-cho, Wakaba-ku, Chiba. Chiba City’s current facility information lists opening hours of 09:30–16:30, with last admission at 16:00 and regular Wednesday closures subject to the official calendar. The stored coordinate is for the zoo as a whole. No exact 2014 enclosure, bench, meeting point, actor mark or camera position is claimed, and the park has continued to evolve since filming, so visitors should use the current map and normal admission rules rather than expect an unchanged set.
