Line 39:
* [[Never Live It Down]]: In-universe, whoever Mayugoro the sandalmaker was as a person and whatever else he did, now he is only known as the guy who somehow started a fire in his bathroom 200 years ago that led to the destruction of large parts of Itomori and the loss of the Miyamizu Shrine's records. Both Toshiki (in spinoff novel ''Another Side: Earthbound'') and Yotsuha are appalled that the Great Fire to which his name was appended is his sole legacy.
* [[Real Place Background]]: Itomori is fictional but is based on the actual Hida City in GIfu Prefecture. The restaurant Taki works part-time at is based on Cafe La Boheme near Shinjuku Gyoen. {{spoiler| Taki and Mitsuha reunite on the stairs leading to the Yotsuya Suga Shrine.}} Various other actual locales both in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan are featured in the film.
* [[Reality Ensues]]:
** Despite how much Taki's built it up in his mind, Lake Itomori is not in fact the household name of an iconic landmark he'd been expecting, and random passersby in its vicinity aren't much good where actually finding it is concerned.
** Mitsuha learns the hard way that finding someone in a big city is not, despite her hopes, a quick and easy thing to do.
** Even extraordinary events will be forgotten after enough time. {{spoiler|Three years after they happened, Taki has forgotten both Mitsuha being the one to give the braided cord to him on the train and the news of the fragment of the comet Tiamat destroying Itomori.}}
** Taki's plan {{spoiler|to save Itomori is entirely focused on evacuating the townspeople and doesn't even broach the topic of trying to stop or divert the incoming comet fragment.}} What, did you think this was some heroic fantasy tale? Even then, {{spoiler|the townspeople initially don't go along obediently with the spoofed evacuation orders, but instead mill around in confusion.}}
* [[The Red Stapler]]: Hida City in Gifu Prefecture was fairly unknown previously. Within months of the film's release, [https://soranews24.com/2016/11/26/city-that-inspired-settings-in-hit-anime-your-name-sees-unbelievable-boost-in-tourist-dollars/ tourism revenue from pilgrims exceeded the US$100 million mark].
* [[Slow Electricity]]: After {{spoiler| Tessie sets off explosives that}} destroy a local transformer, Itomori's lights are shown going out in sequence rather than all at once.
