J-Drama Pilgrimage | アルジャーノンに花束を Flowers for Algernon (2015) — 埼玉県立大学 / Brain Physiology Research Center

Drama: TBS『アルジャーノンに花束を』 / Algernon ni Hanataba wo / Flowers for Algernon (2015), specifically the 2015 TBS adaptation rather than the separate 2002 Fuji TV drama.

From the premiere onward, the story repeatedly returns to the fictional 脳生理科学研究センター (Brain Physiology Research Center), where Haruka Mochizuki and Professor Hachisuka conduct the research that brings Sakuto and Algernon into the same scientific story. TBS’s official Location Information Vol. 8 identifies 埼玉県立大学 (Saitama Prefectural University) in Koshigaya as the real filming location for this research-center setting and describes it as one of the series’ regular locations.

Saitama Prefectural University remains an active public university at 820 Sannomiya, Koshigaya, Saitama. The stored coordinate, 35.929972, 139.755222, is a campus-level anchor. It does not claim a particular laboratory, corridor, entrance, actor position, or camera setup from 2015.

Pilgrimage note: the university is a functioning educational institution, not an open film set. Visitors should respect classes, students, staff, access controls, and any restrictions on entering or photographing campus buildings. This memory records the verified production use without directing visitors toward non-public research or teaching spaces.
