“I wanted to escape from something for a little while.”
Two young men, Sota and Rakuto, set out on a journey to find the Phoenix, which shouldn't exist. What is the Phoenix that the protagonists are looking for? ? ``Chicken☆Phoenix'' is an unusual romantic road movie that will make you laugh, cry, and laugh again.

Ninety-eight percent of ``Chicken☆Phoenix,'' a new movie directed by Kanata Wolf starring Arata Iura and Ryo Narita, was shot in Ise-Shima, Mie Prefecture. ASOBISIA has selected points of interest from among the filming locations and interviewed them, so we would like to introduce them to you!

◆Article creation: ASOBISIA #Mie Travel Camera Club

A trio of close friends who love the outdoors. Normally, he struggles as a Japanese office worker and faces the turbulent waves of society. In October​ ​2020, he formed ASOBISIA after climbing a mountain one day, and opened Instagram and YouTube. On Instagram, his SUP photo in Miyagawa ranked first in the 2020 "Likes" ranking for Mie Tourism. This is a fledgling and active group.


"Chicken☆Phoenix"

Nationwide roadshow on Friday, April 15, 2022!

“Chicken Star” was released in 2018 and gained popularity among mini theater fans through word of mouth. This time, the main cast continues, and the setting is revived in a way different from traditional sequels, giving birth to director Kanata Wolf's new work ``Chicken☆Phoenix''!



! ! This article will contain spoilers as much as possible, but we recommend reading it after watching the movie! !


~Going on a trip to filming locations~

98% of the filming locations are in Ise-Shima, Mie (IseCity, TobaCity, ShimaCity, TamakiTown, WataraiTown, MinamiiseTown), so I hope that the warm atmosphere of Ise-Shima will reach all over the country. Masu!


This time, we visited and interviewed points of interest to ASOBISIA from among the filming locations in Ise-Shima! Now, let's go on a trip to the filming locations with Sota and us who have become musicians!

Setagawa

■Address: Near Funae 2-chome IseCity


The first filming location is the bridge that crosses the Seta River in Kawasaki, IseCity! The road isn't that wide, so I think we drove through this area in an open car during the photo shoot, which shows the dedication to creating a unique road!


Near this bridge is the Ise Kawasaki Merchant Hall, which is featured in Mie Tourism!

*ASOBISIA chose a bridge over the Seta River that has a sidewalk and is safe for filming, but the actual bridge used in the movie is the one located right next to the "Ise Kawasaki Merchant Hall Parking Lot." .

#What is a journey...

A scene in which Sota asks the musician,"What is travel?"is recreated. Being able to become a character in a movie is the real thrill of visiting filming locations! What does a musician think of as ajourney? Check out the movie!


Akafukumochi Futami Branch

■Address: 204-1 Chaya Futamicho IseCity Mie Prefecture


The Futami branch of Akafukumochi, which is within walking distance of Ise's tourist attraction Meotoiwa(rocksofthemarriedcouple), was also a filming location for Chicken☆Phoenix!Please stop by Akafuku while sightseeing at IseJingu and Meotoiwa(rocksofthemarriedcouple) Akafukumochi!


You can check the history, commitment, events, etc. on the homepage below. ⬇

#Everyone loves Akafukumochi Mochi

Akafukumochi mochi, which ASOBISIA also loves!Not only does it have a good taste with just the right amount of sweetness and a pleasant texture, but it also satisfies your soul with its beautiful three-striped pattern that resembles the clear waters of a river.


This distinctive pattern is not created using tools or machines, but is created one by one by the fingers of the craftsman! Only craftsmen who have been trained for over three years can offer this to customers!


In the movie, Sota and Rakuto are eating `` AkafukuIce,'' which is a very popular summer menu item. What is offered changes depending on the season! By the way, when ASOBISIAinterviewed us, we had the "Akafukumochi Zenzai" from the winter menu, and it was also delicious!

#Welcome to Ise

The large vermilion-painted stove in the photo is enshrined as the guardian deity of fire. The storefront fireplace is also a symbol of hospitality, and welcomes customers every day.

#Akafuku AkafukuIce

In the movie, Sota and the musician are eating `` AkafukuIce'' which looks delicious. This year, at the Futami branch,movieThe day after the release dateApril 16th (soil)It will be available from now on! (For more information home page Please refer to the)


ASOBISIA, a resident of Mie Prefecture, always goes to eat "AkafukuIce" every summer! (lol)

TobaCity Sea Museum

■Address: 1731-68 Daikichi, Uramura-cho TobaCity, Mie Prefecture


This is a museum about the sea and people that tells the history, present, and future of the close relationship with the sea by fishermen, ama divers, sailors, and people who live on the seashore called ``kaimin.''

At the entrance, there is a sign with a large Ama diver on it, welcoming you with a warm expression.

#New era museum architecture

Look at this ceiling. . !
The Maritime Museum has received various awards, including `` Japan's Top 100 Architectural Spaces'' and `` Nation's Top 100 Public Buildings,'' and is a magnificent building that Mie is proud of. Hiroshi Naito has created a warm space that incorporates natural scenery, and one of the features is that not only the exhibits but also the building itself is a highlight! This is amazing.


#Big catch, big catch! Daikichi!

During the trip, the musicians also had fun with the face panels. This place is called"Daikichi"and everyone who visits the museum is said to be Daikichi. . ! ? I really enjoyed ASOBISIA as well! lol

# Ama experience! ?

While Sota and Rakuto are having fun inside the museum, there's also a scene where they play with ama dolls! What kind of poses did the musicians pose in the play? Please take a closer look ^^

#80 ships

The highlight of the museum is the storage room (ship building), which is an important cultural property. More than 80 wooden ships collected from all over the country are on display! There were two people having fun among various types of wooden boats! Is this how you took the photo from here? It's fun to go around the filming locations while thinking about it ^^

#Purchase the “eel stuffed animal”!

This"stuffed eel"is an original product of the Maritime Museum, and is the most popular souvenir! Surprisingly, it seems that Arata Iura and Ryo Narita, who played the lead role, both purchased the `` eel and basket set''! ! This eel's face is so cute...lol. It's a very impressive item ^^


Hearing these behind-the-scenes stories is one of the fun parts of visiting filming locations



Matsuo Kannonji Temple

■Address: 156-6 Matsuoyama, Kusube-IseCity kusubecho


The next place we visited was Matsuo Kannonji, which is said to be the oldest Kannon statue in Japan.

In "Chicken Phoenix",this is the temple that they stopped at while searching for the Phoenix.We have recreated the scene where the musician is asking the chief priest about the Phoenix!

Ise Shima Skyline

■Address: 677-1Iwaidayama, ujitachicho IseCity


This driveway is highly recommended by Mie Prefecture residents, with many scenic points such as the Ichiuda Observatory in the photo and The Post in the sky, a famous Instagram spot!

FOLK FOLK

■Address: 1784-4 Kanda Kushihonmachi, IseCity kodakushimotocho


FOLK FOLK is located halfway between the inner and Geku Naiku of IseJingu.

This is a rare wedding venue in Japan where you can stay overnight!There is also a stylish Cafe & Bar inside the building, so the general public can enjoy it as well. Why not stop by before or after visiting Ise?


The store name ``FOLK FOLK'' is a place where FOLK (people)can meet, make vows, and dance their hearts out, and we want to provide a moving experience! It seems that the name was derived from this idea.

#Brilliant point

Outside, in front of the FOLK FOLK GARDEN, there is a stylish wall with the words "FOLK FOLK" engraved on it.There is no doubt that it will look great if you take a commemorative photo here!

You can also hold your wedding ceremony, reception, and after-party at FOLK FOLK GARDEN.It's also great to have your wedding ceremony outside while breathing in the nice air!

# Have a wonderful time in a comfortable space.

The interior of the store is stylish and has a very comfortable atmosphere. I love the calm atmosphere, where you can stay for hours and lose track of time!

As you enter the store, a large screen projected on the wall on the right displays beautiful images of the ocean and rivers that will wash your soul. There is a large number of seats, and there are seats that can accommodate a large number of people as well as counter seats that are comfortable for even one person.

#Bagel sandwich

At the Cafe, you can enjoy bagels and tarts.

Looking out over the vast Ise Bay. After watching the movie, let's enjoy sunset at Muramatsu Beach! It's also great to talk about your thoughts on movies.
