J-Drama Pilgrimage | 問題のあるレストラン Mondai no Aru Restaurant (2015) — 流山おおたかの森駅 / Tamako and Nanami’s Former Mobile-Café Spot

Drama: Fuji TV『問題のあるレストラン』 / Mondai no Aru Restaurant (2015).

Episode 1 aired on 15 January 2015. Fuji TV’s official synopsis introduces 田中たま子 / Tamako Tanaka as a hard-working employee who ultimately loses her job and begins gathering the women who will build Bistro Fou with her. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies Tsukuba Express 流山おおたかの森駅 / Nagareyama-ōtakanomori Station as the place where Tamako and 烏森奈々美 / Nanami Karasumori had previously operated a mobile café.

That makes the station a useful pre-Bistro pilgrimage point: rather than representing the restaurant itself, it connects Tamako and Nanami to an earlier food-service chapter of their lives before the main rebellion against Like Dining Service takes shape.

The station is still an active interchange served by the Tsukuba Express and Tobu Urban Park Line. Tsukuba Express currently lists its address as 1-1-1 Ōtakanomori-nishi, Nagareyama, Chiba. The map pin is station-level at 35.8720528, 139.9259026. It is not claimed as the exact 2015 food-truck parking bay, actor position, or camera mark; the station surroundings have continued to develop since filming.

Pilgrimage note: treat this as a busy transport hub. Recreate the broad station setting without blocking entrances, ticket gates, pedestrian flows, buses, or commercial tenants.
