Since Takao Shokudo, mentioned in the first episode of Food for the Soul, closed on April 18, 2025, and only the interior could be visited on the 19th and 20th, I had to prioritize this pilgrimage. On April 20, 2025, under an overcast sky, I set out for an anime pilgrimage to the locations featured in the first episode of Food for the Soul—Takao and Nishi-Hachioji.
