The only defense, I guess, is that body switching is a stressful event, and he had other things on his mind than checking what town he’s in?

The soundtrack perfectly fits the emotions of the movie at each point and together with the stunning art and writing, creates a work of art. And I think that Taki’s passion for finding someone he shared such an intense bond with represents how that kind of love can transcend time and space. Unknown to them however the god actually has the ability to to switch the consciousness of two people in different places of time as vaguely explained by the grandma when she, Taki (within Mitsuha’s body) and Yotsuha went to the shrine.

Mitsuha confronts her father again with a new spirit of determination, and soon after, the broken fragment of Comet Tiamat crashes to Earth, destroying Itomori.

During the journey, Mitsuha's grandmother tells him and Yotsuha about 'Musubi', that it is the very fabric of time and life itself. One day, Taki wakes up back in his body, and finds that Mitsuha has actually set up a date for him and Miki, which he is utterly unprepared for. This re-establishes the body switching and allows Taki—who then inhabits Mitsuha’s body the day of the comet strike—to save Itomori.
