Aria - Shrine

In episode 5 of Aria the Natural they visit a shrine that seems to be based on Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto.

Lots of red torii gates of course.

And fox statues.

The statue that matches the one seen in the anime the most is located at the romon main gate in real life.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 04m39s


There's supposedly more than 10000 red torii gates here.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 04m51s


In a lot of places the gates are placed much more densely than what's shown in the show.

Not as many tablets on the gakuzuka supporting struts here.

On the reverse side of the gates you can see writing telling you who donated them.

This is the Senbon Torii, the most famous part of the shrine, so there's lots of people stopping here.




I couldn't get a picture without anybody in it this time, but I had this picture from a previous time I visited this shrine because of Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha.

This is the gehaiden worship hall.




Image from Aria the Natural Episode 5 - 06m26s


And finally a picture of one of the many fox altars.



No map since this is a famous tourist attraction.

This location was visited on 2019/04/15. The Senbon Torii picture without anybody in it is from 2014/04/09.

Sakura Miku - Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival

While in Hirosaki checking out all the Flying Witch locations, I also got a few pictures of the Sakura Miku and Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival collaboration. At Hirosaki Station they had a giant Sakura Miku poster at the location I saw the Flying Witch ad back in 2016. Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival poster and Sakura Miku wall scroll inside the tourism information office at the station. Ad with Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun, the Hirosaki Castle mascot. Lots of Sakura Miku themed tourist maps of Hirosaki. If you wanted a Flying Witch map you had to ask. Sakura Miku decoration on the train station door. At Hirosaki Apple Park they had this cardboard cutout of Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun. Long wall scroll inside the Apple Park shop. They had lots of Sakura Miku items for sale here. Including t-shirts. Clear files. Mobile batteries. And pin buttons. They also had lots of apple goods for sale. Including various drinks. And actual apples of course. While waking towards Hirosaki Park I...

Comic1 15

The final thing I checked out this time was Comic1 15. It's an event similar to Comiket , and just like Comiket it took place at Tokyo Big Sight. It's a smaller event, so I got a better place in the queue than at Comiket. Still plenty of people though. The Comic1 catalog was also the ticket, so you just held it up at the entrance to show that you had one. Since it was a smaller event it only used the west halls and none of the east halls. Both west hall 1 and 2 had circles selling doujins and goods. This is inside west hall 2. In west hall 4 they had a separate event called Character1 with corporate booths. In the Character1 area they had this big Nekopara TV anime ad. And some smaller ads for various other anime, figures and other stuff. Cardboard cutouts. Metallizing Art on display. At the Key booth they also had art. One of Kanade Tachibana from Angel Beats. They had a stamp rally at the Key booth for people who bought items too. In a corner of Character1 they had itasha o...

The Eccentric Family - Hell

While visiting Arima Onsen , Yasaburo gets thrown into hell in The Eccentric Family. Some of the places shown in hell are located in Tokyo, so I went and had a look. Image from S2E6 - 04m51s This is the view from Shohei Bridge towards the west in Kanda-Sudachō near Akihabara. Image from S2E6 - 14m30s Yasaburo is next shown wandering around in Inokashira Park. Image from S2E6 - 14m33s This railway bridge got Keio Inokashira Line trains running on it. Image from S2E6 - 15m08s There's no ramen stand here like in the show. Image from S2E6 - 15m11s This is at the Keio Inokashira-kōen Station platform. There's more modern looking trains running here in real life. Image from S2E6 - 15m15s Closeup of the train doors. I've marked a path from the Shohei Bridge in Kanda-Sudachō to this station in the map below. Image from S2E6 - 15m21s Yasaburo runs towards the station. Image from S2E6 - 15m23s The station building is at the top of the stairs on the left here. Image from S2E6 - 15m28s...
