J-Drama Pilgrimage | ようこそ、わが家へ Yokoso, Wagaya e (2015) — 矢切駅 / The Queue-Cutting Incident

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

Episode 1 aired on 13 April 2015. Fuji TV’s official introduction establishes the incident that starts the whole story: the normally conflict-averse 倉田健太 / Kenta Kurata challenges a man who pushes ahead of others while boarding a train, and the Kurata family begins receiving frightening harassment afterward. The Nationwide Filming Location Guide identifies the fictional 「新代々木駅」 used for that confrontation as 北総鉄道北総線 矢切駅 / Hokusō Railway Yagiri Station in Matsudo. The same guide also identifies Yagiri as the station where 神取明日香 / Asuka Kandori gets off in Episode 1.

Yagiri is still an operating Hokusō Line station. Hokusō Railway currently lists it as station HS02 at 120 Shimo-yakiri, Matsudo, Chiba. For a pilgrimage, this is best understood as the real station behind the drama’s inciting encounter, not as a preserved set. The stored coordinate 35.75751, 139.90055 is a station-level anchor; it does not claim the exact 2015 platform position of Kenta, the queue-cutter, Asuka, or the camera. Visitors should remain within normal passenger areas, follow railway safety markings and staff instructions, and never obstruct commuters while trying to recreate the scene.
