K-On - School Revisit

On this trip I also went back to the old Toyosato Elementary School which was shown in K-On. For comparison shots, check out my posts of the outsides, the insides and the music rooms.



This is the platform at Toyosato Station.




They were actually changing the station signs when I visited. These new ones had Akane Toyosato, the Tetsudou Musume character for Ohmi Railway, on it.




One of the old signs.




At the train platform they also had these illustrations by Sunameri Oishii on display.




The train timetable. Mostly just 1 train an hour out here.




I saw a lot more of these K-On tobidashi figures this time, including this Azusa one.




The Mugi one I also saw the last time.




Inside the shop where the Mugi tobidashi was located, they still had some K-On things on display.




Still mostly illustrations and posters.




The Mio poster I saw in the window of the shop the last time was now inside.




Various posters outside.




The place where I saw the Yui figure the last time now had a Mio one instead.




Closeup of Mio.




This Ritsu one had been damaged.




The Yui one was now at the road in front of the school.




It had a bit of damage as well.




I also saw a Nodoka one nearby.

A shot of the school building. I also posted more comparison shots of the outsides, the insides and the music rooms.




I checked out the shop area of the old school building again.




Here they still had tons of K-On items on display.




Lots of figures.




Manga, illustration works and other books.




Plushies, cups and plates.




Illustrations, models and a big Azusa pillow.




Guitars and also a place to hang ema on the right here.




Lots of these cards and some ema here. Warning: These are extra large pictures to show more details.








Some closeups.










Keyboards and a drum set on the left here and more manga on the right.




Closeup of the manga.




The stairway leads up to the second floor.




Where there's more items on display.




Lots of cardboard cutouts.




Shikishi sign boards and more instruments, including guitars.




Closeup of the guitars.




A few more cardboard cutouts.




Some small K-On figures near the area where you could pick up tourist flyers as well.




They still had lots of K-On woodblock stamps you could use.




And K-On decorated lockers.




Lots of different items for sale in the shop itself.




Including K-On items.






Some Akane Toyosato goods on the left here.




Illustrations for the National Anime Holy Land Summit in Toyosato made by Ragho no Erika in 2014.




Gashapon machine for the same event.




They also sold Ton-chan bread here called Ton-pan.




Shaped like a turtle of course.




Yui plushie with a Love Live Sunshine You cap in the cashier area of the shop for some reason.




Some event flyers I picked up. One for a K-On event at the school and another for a Tamako Market event in Kyoto.

Weathering With You - Tabata

Another place shown in Weathering With You is a hill leading up from the south exit of Tabata Station. Image from Trailer 2 - 00m48s Hodaka is walking up the hill. It was difficult to get everything seen in the background in the same picture. Image from Toei Bus Commercial - 00m19s I got another shot from a road running alongside the hill, but then the trees here blocked some of the view. Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m39s Hodaka looking up the hill. Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m40s Reverse view. Image from 15 Second Trailer 1 - 00m05s Both Hodaka and Hina at the hill. Image from US Subtitled Trailer - 02m07s Something zooms up the hill here. Image from Trailer 2 - 01m43s Gets closer to Hodaka and Hina. Image from Trailer 2 - 01m44s And seems to hit Hina. Image from Trailer 2 - 01m44s Somebody had left a yellow umbrella here, but it didn't match the one in the movie. Location map: This location was visited on 2019/12/29 and 2020/01/18.

Your Name - Shinkaisansya Shrine

The kagura-den stage shown in Your Name is supposedly based on one located at Shinkaisansya Shrine in real life. The closest train station is Usuda Station, but it's quite far and there's no rental bicycle places nearby, so it might be better to rent a car to get here. Image from Your Name - 14m31s Full view of the stage. Image from Your Name - 14m37s Side of the building. Image from Your Name - 14m48s In real life the back of the stage is seen from this angle instead of the front. Image from Your Name - 15m00s Since the position of the stage isn't the same it's difficult to match this shot. Image from Your Name - 15m03s The insides of the roof is different here. Image from Your Name - 15m10s Back of the stage. Image from Your Name - 15m16s There's another building right in front of the stage in real life. Image from Your Name - 15m22s Yotsuha and Mitsuha preparing to make kuchikamizake. Image from Your Name - 15m32s Tessie and Sayaka watches. Image from Your Name -...

KyoAni & Do Shop Revisit

Since I was in the area I also checked out the KyoAni & Do Shop again. The building is still the same. But with new banners. This one is for the KyoAni movie year with Sound!

A different Sound! Euphonium: Our Promise: A Brand New Day poster on display. Info about the opening hours. KyoAni movie year standee and Sound! Euphonium: Our Promise: A Brand New Day poster inside as well. The standee had creator messages on it. Warning: This is an extra large picture to show more details. They still had the same Violet Evergarden items on display. I took some closeup pictures of the Violet Evergarden items this time. Here's one of the shikishi sign board signed by Yui Ishikawa. And they still had the Free! items on display as well. I also got another picture of the main Kyoto Animation off...
