J-Drama Pilgrimage | 怪盗 山猫 Kaito Yamaneko (2016) — 赤坂氷川神社 / Katsumura Meets Sakura

Drama: 日本テレビ『怪盗 山猫』 / Kaito Yamaneko (2016), scoped to the original 10-episode 2016 NTV television series.

Episode 7, broadcast 27 February 2016, follows the hunt for fugitive Katsumura while Yamaneko tries to prove who is behind Ouroboros. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies 赤坂氷川神社 / Akasaka Hikawa Shrine as the real location where Katsumura and Kirishima Sakura meet during this episode.

Akasaka Hikawa Shrine remains an active place of worship at 6-10-12 Akasaka, Minato. Its official site currently lists the grounds as opening at 06:00, the shrine office from 09:00 to 17:00, and closing at 17:30. The stored coordinate is a shrine-level pin, not an exact meeting point, actor position, or 2016 camera mark. This is first and foremost a religious site: visitors should prioritize worship etiquette, avoid disrupting ceremonies, and follow the shrine’s current photography rules.
