I visited Hikarigaoka, Tokyo. This is the neighbourhood where the kids lived in Digimon Adventure. Was dope to walk around it IRL.

Then I visited the Toei Animation Museum, then Mandarake Special 6 in Nakano Broadway. I bought a 25th Anniversary Color Digimon. What a great day.

Hikarigaoka (Heighten View Terrace)

The Hikarigaoka area is where the original eight Chosen Children saw their first Digimon in 1995, as shown in the Digimon Adventure movie. The battle between Greymon and Parrotmon took place on the main street, destroying part of the bridge, a phone booth, and some building sections. Many of the families moved away afterward, including those of all eight Chosen Children. Seven Chosen moved to Odaiba while Takeru moved to Setagaya until he too moved to Odaiba in 2002.

Upon their return from the Digital World, the Chosen Children stop at Hikarigaoka in episode 29 of Adventure and realize that they all lived there at the same time and had this experience. This is what makes them think that the Eighth Child most likely moved from Hikarigaoka to Odaiba as well. According to episode 45, this was the moment the original eight were Chosen.

In 02, Oikawa Yukio takes Ken and the Dark Seed children in episode 44 to utilize the natural Digital Gate (like the one at the campsite near Mount Fuji in Adventure), but everything is interrupted by Demon’s arrival. The younger Chosen fight him, and Ken taps into his Dark Digivice to open a gate to the World of Darkness, at which point Daisuke gives Ken a stirring speech about moving forward and not being afraid anymore. Although Demon can make his own Digital Gates between the Real World and the Digital World, he cannot escape the Dark Ocean. Oikawa tells the Dark Seed children to meet him there again on New Year’s Eve before escaping.

However, in episode 47 of 02, BlackWarGreymon seals the gate with his own body to prevent Oikawa, and the monster inside him, from entering the Digital World. Since Oikawa doesn’t know that, he gathers the Dark Seed children there and opens a gate, which leads to the World of Dreams instead of the Digital World.

digitrip pt 3

just a short journey to hikarigaoka last december. some people aren’t aware that there’s a digimon sign near hikarigaoka station because most people will go to odaiba as it is more iconic. apart from the sign, hikarigaoka itself was a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

hikarigaoka was also pictured in ayumi miyazaki and aim’s aikotoba mv.

honestly, i didn’t spend much time around. there was a big daiso where we had our shopping and a kfc with nice employees where we had our brunch. we had to leave the area early as we also wanted to see the yotsuya suga shrine (the stairs where taki and mitsuha met from the last scene of your name/kimi no na wa).

you can read part 1 and part 2 (which i stupidly scheduled for 2am my local time last night zzz) and that’s basically the end of my digitrip(s). i really hope all of you can visit them someday!!

(also, tonight i’ll post my contribution to odaiba memorial day where you could fill it with your own answers too 😉 it should be on 10am utc if my converter serves me correctly...) 

(where greymon v parrotmon took place)
