Watching a drama, there is a moment when a place on screen makes you pause and wonder: is that a real place, and could I go there? "Can This Love Be Translated?" — the Netflix series about a multilingual interpreter — is full of those moments. Its story moves between a small railway station in Japan, a market and a historic village in Canada, and two centuries-old squares in Italy, and all five of the places below are real, visitable locations rather than studio sets.
What follows is a scene-by-scene guide to those five places: which moment in the story each one belongs to, what the place actually is, its address, and what to know before visiting. Brief scene descriptions are included, so readers who have not finished the series should be aware of light spoilers.
The practical details matter as much as the scenes. A station is a working station, not a tourist attraction with opening hours; a historic village is seasonal and its 2026 season has already ended; a market opens at 9 in the morning even when a scene makes it feel like dawn. Each entry below separates the drama from the reality, and ends with the official source to check before you go.
This is where the drama was filmed, what each place is really like, and how to visit all five without a wasted trip.

Where Did Ho-jin and Mu-hee First Pass Each Other?
Gokurakuji Station, in Kamakura, Japan, is where the story begins: early on, Ho-jin and Mu-hee pass each other here, and the small wooden station building and the Enoden train set a calm tone for their first connection. The scene is shown both inside the train and at the station itself.
The real station is on the Enoshima Electric Railway — the Enoden line — in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. Its station number is EN11. Unlike a large city station, it is a small wooden building surrounded by greenery, with the red postbox in front of the station adding to its retro atmosphere. Between Hase Station and Gokurakuji Station runs the Gokurakudo tunnel, the only brick tunnel on the Enoden line — a popular photo spot in its own right.
This is a station residents actually use, not a tourist set. There are no viewing hours as at a tourist facility: check the official Enoden timetable for train times. Looking at the exterior from outside the station and entering the platforms are different things — platform access and riding the train follow railway rules, and boarding requires a fare.
Address: 3-7-4 Gokurakuji, Kamakura, Kanagawa, Japan
Search: Gokurakuji Station / 極楽寺駅
Visiting tip: The roads and entrances around the station are narrow, so when taking photos, take care not to block passengers on the move.

Where Did They Stroll Through a Market Together?
Crossroads Market in Calgary, Canada, is the setting for the scene in which Ho-jin and Mu-hee browse a market together, looking around the outdoor fruit and vegetable stalls. On screen it can feel like an early-morning market, but the market's general opening time is 9 AM.
The real Crossroads Market is a weekend market in Calgary, Alberta. Indoors, food stalls selling dishes from many countries sit alongside shops selling books, toys, records, crafts, and collectibles — so visitors expecting only the outdoor stalls from the drama may be surprised by the scale inside. It is a place to look for filming spots while grabbing a simple meal and soaking in a local market atmosphere.
Address: 1235 26 Avenue SE, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2G 1R7
Search: Crossroads Market Calgary
Hours: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 9 AM–5 PM, year-round. Hours can change on public holidays and for special events, and the outdoor stalls can look different from the drama depending on the season of your visit.
Admission: Food and purchases cost extra; check admission and event details on the official visit page before you go.

Where Was the Variety Show Filmed?
Heritage Park in Calgary is where Mu-hee and Hiro first meet and begin filming the in-show variety program "Romantic Trip," riding bicycles through streets that look like an old town. The buildings and streets of the past form the backdrop of the scene.
The real location is the Historical Village at Heritage Park, a living-history attraction in Calgary where visitors can see how people lived in western Canada from the 1860s to the 1930s. Interpreters in period costume, historic buildings, a steam train, and a paddle steamer are part of the experience, though which experiences run depends on the season and the day's schedule. The village was not built for the drama — it is a place that shows Canada's past, and it was used as a filming backdrop.
Address: 1900 Heritage Drive SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2V 2X3
Search: Heritage Park Historical Village
Hours: The Historical Village is a seasonal facility. The 2026 regular season has ended, and reopening is planned for May 2027. Check the exact dates and hours for the next season before visiting.
Admission: Admission to the Historical Village is paid. Check prices for the next regular season on the official booking page for your visit date.
Important distinction: Not all of Heritage Park runs on the same schedule. Areas or museums open year-round may be open even when the drama's historic village cannot be entered, and special-event tickets may cover a different area than regular admission.

Where Did They Share Pizza in Italy?
Piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, Italy — November 4th Square, shown on maps as Piazza IV Novembre — is introduced as the place where Ho-jin and Mu-hee share pizza. The old buildings and the square frame an ordinary moment between the two of them.
The real square is the central square of Perugia's old town, in Umbria. At its center stands the Fontana Maggiore, a medieval fountain completed in 1278, decorated with sculptures and reliefs that reward a close look. Around the square stand San Lorenzo Cathedral and the Palazzo dei Priori, so a visit to find the drama's scene doubles as a tour of the historic center's main sights.
Address: Piazza IV Novembre, 06123 Perugia PG, Italy
Search: Piazza IV Novembre, Perugia
Hours and admission: The square is an open-air public space, so a general stroll has no ticket or fixed viewing hours. Access can be restricted during events or on-site controls, and the cathedral, museums, and buildings around the square have their own hours and admission conditions.
Visiting tip: Take in the fountain together with the surrounding buildings to get a sense of the scale and atmosphere of the place on screen — and do not climb or lean on the fountain.

Where Was the Embrace in the Square Filmed?
Piazza del Campo in Siena, Italy, is the backdrop for the scene in which Ho-jin and Mu-hee embrace. The wide square and the medieval buildings around it make the place memorable on screen.
The real square is the center of Siena's old town, in Tuscany. Its most striking feature is its shell-like shape and gently sloping floor: the red-brick surface is divided by pale lines into nine sections. At the lower side of the square stand the Palazzo Pubblico and the tall Torre del Mangia (Mangia Tower). The square's buildings and the lines of its paving converge to one side, giving it a three-dimensional quality in person that differs from the drama's framing.
The square also hosts the Palio, the traditional horse race, every year on July 2 and August 16.
Address: Piazza del Campo, 53100 Siena SI, Italy
Search: Piazza del Campo, Siena
Hours and admission: The square itself is generally an open-air public space with no admission ticket and no separate opening hours, though access can change with events and on-site controls. The civic museum and the Torre del Mangia inside the square are separate.
Visiting tip: During the Palio and its preparation period, earth may be laid on the square and structures installed, so the square can look different from usual. If you are hoping to see the square as it appears in the drama, check the event schedule too.

How Should You Plan a Filming-Location Visit?
A filming-location trip works best when the drama and the logistics are planned separately. Before you go, run through this checklist:
Decide which places are working facilities and which are seasonal: Gokurakuji is a working station, Crossroads Market opens on weekends, and Heritage Park's Historical Village is closed until its May 2027 reopening.
Check hours on the official pages close to your visit. The market's 9 AM opening, the village's seasonal dates, and event restrictions on the Italian squares can all change.
Keep the addresses and map search names from each section above — "Gokurakuji Station," "Crossroads Market Calgary," "Heritage Park Historical Village," "Piazza IV Novembre, Perugia," and "Piazza del Campo, Siena" — for navigation.
Remember that the squares are public spaces but their interiors are not: cathedrals, museums, and towers have separate hours and tickets.
Be considerate on site: the station is narrow and used by commuters, and the squares are places where people live and work. Do not block movement for a photo, and do not climb on the fountains.
These five places span three countries, but the thread between them is simple: each one is an ordinary, working place that the drama borrowed for a scene. Visiting them is less about standing where actors stood than about seeing how a station, a market, a village, and two squares look when the cameras are gone.
