Nasa and Tsukasa stand together in an open area of Heijokyu Palace Historical Park during their calm and affectionate Nara trip.
This moment appears during Tsukasa and Nasa’s newlywed trip to Nara, when they are leisurely walking and talking together in the quiet, spacious scenery of the ancient capital. Rather than focusing on dramatic plot developments, the scene emphasizes the gentle happiness of a married couple sharing everyday moments and enjoying the view side by side. Before this, they continue their relaxed travel banter, and after it, they keep reaffirming their feelings in the shy but sincere way that defines their relationship, giving the whole Nara segment a warm and peaceful tone. The real-life model is Heijokyu Palace Historical Park in Nara, and the anime captures the park’s open sightlines, straight paths, and the placement of large reconstructed buildings in a recognizable but simplified way. The real location feels even broader, with more variation in the grass, path edges, informational signs, and visitor guidance than shown in the anime. To preserve the romantic travel mood, the series tones down the signage and facilities, making the background appear cleaner than reality. Even so, if you stand at a similar angle on site, the match in spatial scale and historic Nara atmosphere is impressive, making it an excellent pilgrimage spot for anime fans.
