The plot is set in Japan beginning from the 1990s and ending in modern day, with each segment centered on a boy named Takaki T?no.

[edit]
Episode 1: ?kash?

?kash? (Cherry Blossom Extract): Upon graduating from elementary school, Takaki T?no and his close friend Akari Shinohara drifted apart. Akari moved to Tochigi Prefecture due to her parents’ jobs, while Takaki attended a junior high in Tokyo. The two kept in contact by writing letters, but despite the special feelings that existed between them, the only thing that persisted was time. When Takaki became aware that his family would move to Kagoshima, he decided to go see Akari since they would be too far apart to visit each other after he moved. However, when the day came, a severe snowstorm delayed Takaki’s trip, and it would be hours before he reached Iwafune, where they promised to meet. The two finally meet late that night and fall asleep talking to each other. As they share a kiss, Takaki realizes that the two will never be together as time and circumstance draws them slowly apart. He departs the next morning carrying a bitter-sweet feeling with him.

Episode 2: Cosmonaut

Takaki is now in the third year of senior high in Tanegashima, where the Tanegashima Space Center is located. Kanae Sumita, a classmate of Takaki, has special feelings for Takaki, but she does not have the courage to express her love to him. She later observes that Takaki is always staring off into the distance, as if searching for something far, far away. Even though she loves Takaki, Kanae understands that he is searching for things far greater than anything she can offer.

Episode 3: By?soku 5 Centimeter

It is now 2008, and all three characters have gone their separate ways. Takaki is now a computer programmer in Tokyo, and Akari is preparing to get married. Takaki still seems to be searching for Akari to the detriment of his other relationships, including a girlfriend he has been with for three years. Akari, while going thru some old things, finds a letter she wrote to Takaki but never sent. She feels nostalgic for those days but has moved on with her life. She doesn’t seem hung up on the past like Takaki is.

One day, Takaki goes out and sees the face of a familiar-looking woman (it is strongly hinted that it is actually Akari) at a railroad-crossing. Puzzled by the encounter, he tries to look back, but two trains come and cut off his view. Takaki waits for the trains to pass, as if expecting the woman he had seen to be waiting on the other side of the railroad crossing. After both trains have passed, he is initially disappointed that the woman is nowhere to be found on the other side of the crossing. He eventually comes to realize that it is for the best, smiles, and goes on his way. He sees that he must move on from the past instead of just living in the past. And, to find a way to become happy in the present rather than just pining for what has been lost over time.
