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.




Image from S2E4 - 16m42s


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 - 17m27s


Closeup of another utility pole.




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.

Girls und Panzer - Tank Club Shop

The Tank Club Shop in episode 2 of Girls und Panzer is based on a real place in Tokyo, so I went to have a look. The closest train station is Ichigaya Station. Image from Episode 2 - 09m12s The building still looks the same. Image from Episode 2 - 09m10s Unfortunately the shop itself, which was called Norimono Club in real life, closed down in 2017. It was run by the publisher Ikaros Publications which still is located here. Image from Episode 2 - 09m18s There's no buildings on the other side of the street in real life.

Flying Witch - Pond

Another location shown in the first episode of Flying Witch is a small pond located at Tokiwano-noson Park. Image from Episode 1 - 17m01s It was cloudy when I visited so Mount Iwaki wasn't visible. Image from Episode 2 - 14m19s Around the pond I also saw what seemed to be bakke butterbur sprouts which was featured in the second episode of the show, although in a different location .

Clannad After Story - New Hospital

I also visited the new hospital shown in the later episodes of Clannad After Story, not to be confused with the hospital Nagisa goes to when she's pregnant. Image from Episode 20 - 20m43s Image from Episode 21 - 08m55s The hospital is close to Kemigawahama Station in real life. You could walk here, but it's easier to take a bus. Image from Episode 21 - 10m03s It's called Chiba Kaihin Municipal Hospital, and not Hikarizaka General Hospital like in the anime. Image from Episode 21 - 10m06s I only saw one bench here and it didn't have a roof over it. Image from Episode 21 - 11m38s View towards the main entrance. Image from Episode 22 - 18m54s View of the hospital from the other side of the road. There's no park area here in real life. Image from Episode 21 - 10m49s There's no park area to the left of the hospital either, just more parking spots. Image from Episode 22 - 18m57s Fuko and Kouko outside the hospital. Image from Episode 22 - 19m13s Reverse view. Image f...
