J-Drama Pilgrimage | ヒガンバナ Higanbana (2016) — 新宿アイランドタワー / The “Scramble Plaza” Ransom Drop

Drama: 日本テレビ『ヒガンバナ～警視庁捜査七課～』 / Higanbana (2016), scoped specifically to the 10-episode 2016 serial and not the 2014 predecessor special 『ヒガンバナ～女たちの犯罪ファイル～』.

Episode 2, broadcast 20 January 2016, sends detective Nagisa Kinomiya into an abduction case. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies the patio at 新宿アイランドタワー / Shinjuku i-LAND Tower as the fictional Shibuya “スクランブル広場 / Scramble Plaza,” where Nagisa—disguised as a high-school student—brings the ransom money.

The real location is the Shinjuku i-LAND office and commercial complex at 6-5-1 Nishi-Shinjuku, not a preserved drama set. This pin is a building/complex-level reference for pilgrimage planning, not a claim about the exact 2016 actor mark, camera position, or ransom handoff point within the patio. Visitors should respect current building and plaza rules and avoid obstructing office users or tenants.
