On April 14, a location walk will be held in Amagasaki City for a pilgrimage to the holy locations of “Amarokku,” a movie set in Amagasaki City that will make you cry and laugh at your parents’ house. There is no charge for participation, and advance registration is required (by April 12 for those who register by phone).
Amarokku” Holy Land Pilgrimage Location Walk
The movie “Amarokku” will be released in Hyogo Prefecture on April 12 (nationwide release on April 19). A walking event will be held to tour the filming locations as the world’s earliest pilgrimage to the holy places.
Participants will gather in front of the Central Park Fountain at Hanshin Amagasaki Station at 12:00 p.m. and choose from two different walking courses: the “short course” (2.5 km) will take participants to Yomogawa Park by 2:30 p.m., and the “long course” (5 km) will take them to Hanshin Mukogawa Station by 5:00 p.m.
The person in charge of the event says, “Those who have seen the movie will be able to say, ‘Look, that scene! That scene!” and take pictures while walking (*except for some parts). After seeing the movie, the scenery will look completely different.
<A word from the reporter>
This is the world’s earliest location walk, held on the third day after the advance release of the film! The movie is set in Amagasaki and features a splendid cast of Kansai natives. Another highlight of the movie is that Tsurube Shofukutei and Taro Suruga will co-star as father and son for the first time on screen.
