国立新美術館カフェ（ブラッスリー ポール・ボキューズ ミュゼ）
The distinctive cone-shaped pillars inside the National Art Center inspired the café scene where Taki goes on a date with Miki Okudera. The real brasserie sits inside the museum's dramatic inverted-cone columns — the match to the film is exact.
The restaurant is popular and takes reservations — book ahead on weekends. The museum itself is free to enter (special exhibitions have admission fees). Even if you don't eat, you can view the iconic cone interior from the open atrium.

四ツ谷駅の歩道橋
The pedestrian overpass near Yotsuya Station where Taki and Mitsuha briefly pass each other during a chance encounter in Tokyo. A quieter, more bittersweet pilgrimage spot compared to the famous Suga Shrine stairs.
カフェ ラ・ボエム 新宿御苑
The Italian restaurant where Taki works his part-time job. The exterior of the Shinjuku Gyoen branch is used almost exactly in the film, including the outdoor terrace.
