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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Flying Witch - Manga Covers

Although I don't normally do manga locations, I did check out some of the locations shown on the Flying Witch covers this time. Flying Witch Cover 1 This is at a shrine named Gankisan Shrine. I've marked this location in the map below. Flying Witch Cover 2 This is at Hirosaki Park on the other side of the moat from the bench shown in the anime. Flying Witch Cover 5 This is at the entrance of the house where Nao lives . Flying Witch Cover 6 And finally, this is down by the river near the nursery school close to the bridge shown in the anime OP. Location map: These locations were visited on 2019/04/24 and 2019/04/25.

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.
