木更津キャッツアイ Kisarazu Cat's Eye (2002) | Kisarazu Station West Rotary — Ozzy’s Episode 1 Wake-Up Call

Episode 1 of TBS’s 2002『木更津キャッツアイ』, broadcast on 18 January 2002, uses the west-side rotary at JR Kisarazu Station for one of the series’ instantly recognizable local moments: Ozzy gets out of a car in his underwear and shouts 「朝だよー」. The same west-side station plaza returns in episode 8 when Mirei names the older group “Kisarazu Cat’s Eye Sepia.”

The filming-location record identifies the west rotary specifically, while the stored coordinate is deliberately the station-level map point rather than an invented curb, taxi bay, or camera position. Kisarazu Station remains an active JR East station and the west side is still a working transport plaza, so a pilgrimage is best made from normal public pedestrian space without obstructing buses, taxis, station users, or vehicle lanes.

For scene matching, orient yourself from the station’s west/minato exit toward the station-front plaza and surrounding Fujimi streets. The value of this stop is less a single frozen camera angle than the way the drama repeatedly turns an ordinary local station into the front door of its version of Kisarazu.
