K-On - Arashiyama Walk

In episode 4 of the second season of K-On, everybody gets lost in Arashiyama while trying to get back to their hotel, so I checked out the locations. There's several train stations in the area including the JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, Keifuku Arashiyama Station and Hankyu Arashiyama Station.

This is on the north side of the Togetsukyo Bridge. You can see the bridge on the right here.

Image from S2E4 - 16m40s

The first location where they get lost.

Image from S2E4 - 16m41s

Utility pole at the same place.

Closeup of the house they're in front of.

Image from S2E4 - 16m52s

Yui plays with the dog here.

Image from S2E4 - 16m55s

While everybody else stares at her.

Image from S2E4 - 17m00s

The next location they're in.

Image from S2E4 - 17m01s

Where Ritsu asks an old lady for help finding the way.

Image from S2E4 - 17m15s

Only the buildings on the right here seems to match.

Image from S2E4 - 17m19s

Ritsu has gotten directions.

Image from S2E4 - 17m25s

And they start moving on.

Image from S2E4 - 17m28s

But they manage to get lost again.

Image from S2E4 - 17m31s

Everybody wonders about what they should do next.

Image from S2E4 - 17m52s

Soon after somebody else walks by.

Image from S2E4 - 17m53s

It's Nodoka and her group.

Image from S2E4 - 17m56s

Nodoka calls out.

Image from S2E4 - 17m59s

Ritsu thinks they're saved.

Image from S2E4 - 18m01s

But Nodoka's group is also lost.

Image from S2E4 - 18m03s

The shot here doesn't match for some reason.

Image from S2E4 - 18m04s

Even though the rest does.

Image from S2E4 - 18m14s

Next they're near this small bridge.

Image from S2E4 - 18m17s

Then at this spot where there's an elevated road in the background.

Image from S2E4 - 18m27s

The final location is another utility pole. I've marked a path going through all the locations and ending up here in the map below.

While walking around I also saw this Puella Magi Madoka Magica cardboard cutout.

And this Keifuku Randen x Kaohsiung MRT collaboration stamp rally stand.

Your Name - Train Crossing

I also checked out a bunch of Your Name locations in Nagano, starting with the train crossing that was supposedly shown in the movie, which is located close to Otabe Station in real life. Image from Your Name - 10m56s This is the angle that seems to match the most compared to what was shown in the movie, but the screenshot is flipped and there's some elements missing. Image from Your Name - 10m56s This is the screenshot as shown in the movie. You can see the similar looking metal utility box in the picture here. Image from Your Name - 31m08s I also took a picture from the opposite side so the metal utility box position matches when the screenshot is flipped. Image from Your Name - 31m08s There's a sign with a 7 on it here, but it's not in the same location as in the movie. Image from Your Name - 31m08s I also took a picture from the road, then the metal utility box position matches, but the road and railway track is switched.

K-On - Kitano Tenmangū Revisit

Another place I revisited was the Kitano Tenmangū shrine . The easiest way to get there is to take a bus to Kitano Tenmangū-mae. Image from S2E4 - 06m54s The torii gate at the entrance. Image from S2E4 - 06m55s The same cow statue I saw last time I visited. Image from S2E4 - 06m57s And the tower gate. Image from S2E4 - 07m05s The purification font is in the middle here. Image from S2E4 - 07m06s The sign here is smaller in real life. Image from S2E4 - 07m20s The other cow statue that's shown in the anime... Image from S2E4 - 07m26s That Ritsu and Yui rubs. Image from S2E4 - 07m32s Nodoka is skeptical about what they're doing. Image from S2E4 - 07m36s Sawako spots Ritsu and Yui... Image from S2E4 - 07m37s And yells at them. Image from S2E4 - 07m40s Yui then spots... Image from S2E4 - 07m42s Another sign. Not sure if this is the exact same location as shown in the anime, but it was the closest matching one I could see. Image from S2E4 - 08m29s The main shrine building. Image from ...

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...
