J-Drama Pilgrimage | ようこそ、わが家へ Yokoso, Wagaya e (2015) — 神奈川工科大学 / Nana and Marie’s University

Drama: Fuji TV『ようこそ、わが家へ』 / Yokoso, Wagaya e / Your Story / Welcome to Our Home (2015).

The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies 神奈川工科大学 / Kanagawa Institute of Technology in Atsugi as the recurring university attended by 倉田七菜 / Nana Kurata and 保原万里江 / Marie Yasuhara. Its production-cooperation record specifically lists the university for Episodes 1, 3, 5 and 7, so this is a recurring campus setting rather than a single isolated cutaway. I anchor the memory to the premiere on 13 April 2015, the first episode in that documented run.

Kanagawa Institute of Technology remains an active university. Its official access information gives the campus address as 1030 Shimoogino, Atsugi, Kanagawa 243-0292, and its current site continues to describe an operating campus with numerous teaching and research facilities. The stored coordinate 35.485628, 139.3413306 is an institution-level anchor around the university’s main guidance point; it does not claim a particular classroom, corridor, bench, actor position, or camera mark from 2015.

This is therefore a useful pilgrimage stop for the university strand of Nana’s story, but it is first and foremost a working educational campus. Visitors should follow current campus-access rules, avoid classes and restricted buildings, and not assume that every outdoor or indoor area seen on screen is open to the public today.
