J-Drama Pilgrimage | デート～恋とはどんなものかしら～ Date (2015) — 山下公園 / First-Date and Finale Meeting Point

Drama: Fuji TV『デート～恋とはどんなものかしら～』 / Date ~ Koi to wa Donna Mono Kashira ~ (2015).

Episode 1 aired on 19 January 2015. Fuji TV’s official synopsis introduces the contract-minded Yoriko Yabushita and self-styled “high-class idler” Takumi Taniguchi as they begin dating in Yokohama. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies 山下公園 (Yamashita Park) as the park where Yoriko and Takumi meet for their first date. The location returns in the 23 March finale as their meeting point again, giving the park a satisfying bookend role across the television series.

Yokohama City still maintains Yamashita Park as one of the city’s best-known waterfront parks at 279 Yamashitacho, Naka Ward. The city describes the 74,121-square-metre park as a public waterfront landscape created through post–Great Kanto Earthquake reclamation, with harbor views, gardens and monuments. Its present appearance should not be assumed to reproduce every 2015 filming angle.

Pilgrimage note: the stored coordinate is a representative park-level pin, not the exact place where the actors stood, waited or were filmed. The park extends for hundreds of metres along the waterfront, so visitors should treat the entire public park as the verified location unless a separately sourced shot match establishes a more precise point.

Verification: Fuji TV official Episode 1 and finale archives; Nationwide Filming Location Guide『デート ロケ地情報・マップ』; Yokohama City current Yamashita Park information.
