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.

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 S2E4 - 07m57s

Image from S2E4 - 08m02s

Next to it is the place where you can buy ema tablets and omamori charms and talismans.

Image from S2E4 - 08m31s

The place where you hang the ema tablets has changed a bit.

Image from S2E4 - 08m36s

Lots more ema here now.

Image from S2E4 - 08m45s

Even a K-On one.

At the shrine I saw this Pokémon stamp rally setup too.

Image from S2E4 - 05m21s

I also went back to Kinkaku-ji Temple.

Image from S2E4 - 06m05s

Where I checked out the tea garden this time.

Image from S2E4 - 06m40s

They give you a choice to sit inside, or outside like in the show.

Image from S2E4 - 06m20s

I had matcha green tea with a wagashi sweet here, just like in the anime.

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...
