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

And Azusa is shocked by what Ritsu tells them.

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.

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

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.

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.
