K-On - Shirakawa-dori Kitayama Crossroad

The Shirakawa-dori Kitayama crossroad is shown in several episodes of K-On. The closest train station is Shugakuin Station.

Mugi crosses Kitayama-dori in the first season OP.




Image from S1E3 - 02m55s


Image from S1E13 - 07m22s


This is the southern crossing at Shirakawa-dori.

Reverse view of Yui running across in the rain.




Image from S1E10 - 00m06s


Just slightly further to the south on Shirakawa-dori is this place.




Image from S2E10 - 03m31s


Reverse view. The whole gang is walking on the right side of the road here.




Image from S2E10 - 03m33s


And past this building.




Image from S2E10 - 03m43s


Both Mugi...




Image from S2E10 - 03m44s


And Azusa is shocked by what Ritsu tells them.




Image from S2E10 - 03m45s


But Yui misunderstands.




Image from S2E10 - 03m55s


They then spot Sawako.




Image from S2E10 - 03m59s


And they decide to spy on her. The tree here is slimmer in real life.




Image from S2E10 - 15m26s


Image from S2E10 - 20m42s


Later in the same episode we also see both the whole gang and Death Devil standing at the crossroad.

Image from S2E10 - 20m43s


Closeup. The Death Devil shots are from a flashback of course.




Image from S2E10 - 15m41s


Image from S2E10 - 20m45s


Traffic light on the other side of the street.




Image from S2E21 - 17m25s


Azusa, Mugi and Yui crossing the street.




Image from S2E21 - 17m35s


Yui waves goodbye to Mio and Ritsu.




Image from S2E21 - 17m56s


Mio and Ritsu continues down the road towards the areas north of the Shirakawa-dori Kitayama crossroad.




Image from S2E24 - 00m09s


Mugi waiting at the crossroad.




Image from S2E24 - 00m11s


Mio and Ritsu arriving from the areas north of the Shirakawa-dori Kitayama crossroad.




Image from S2E24 - 00m25s


Yui hasn't arrived yet. The buildings across the street here is different in this episode for some reason.




Image from S2E24 - 00m28s


And everybody are worried.




Image from S2E24 - 00m32s


Ritsu tries to text Yui.




Image from S2E24 - 00m41s


Yui sends a garbled text back.




Image from S2E24 - 00m43s


So Ritsu decides to call her.




Image from S2E24 - 00m47s


But nobody answers.




Image from S2E24 - 01m01s


Yui then finally shows up at the other side of the crossing.




Image from K-On movie - 14m32s


The crossing is also shown in the movie. This time the buildings matches though.

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...
