重版出来！ / Sleepeeer Hit! — Kokoro and Ayu at Ogunohara Park

J-Drama Pilgrimage — 『重版出来！』 / Juhan Shuttai! / Sleepeeer Hit! (TBS, 2016).

Tokyo Metropolitan Ogunohara Park appears in Episode 8, broadcast 31 May 2016, during Kokoro Kurosawa’s storyline with young reader Ayu Ushiroda. Filming-location records identify both the road along the park and the park itself for the Episode 8 scenes in which Kokoro brings Ayu a book and later walks and talks with her.

The episode widens the publishing story beyond sales figures and editorial deadlines by focusing on a reader whose circumstances have made it difficult to keep smiling. That makes Ogunohara Park a useful pilgrimage stop for the drama’s recurring belief that books matter because of the individual people who eventually receive them.

The real metropolitan park remains a public green space at 7-1 Higashiogu, Arakawa, Tokyo, with lawns, water and wetland areas. The stored coordinate is a representative park-level pin based on the mapped park location; it does not claim the exact path, bench, actor position or camera mark used in 2016. Visitors should stay on public paths and avoid disturbing other park users.
