K-On - Shirakawa-dori Locations

I also visited the K-On locations along Shirakawa-dori south of the Fast Food Place, not to be confused with the locations south of the Shirakawa-dori Kitayama crossroad.



Image from S2E1 - 00m59s


This location at the Shirakawa-dori Kitaoji crossroad has been completely changed from when the anime was made.




Image from S2E1 - 01m07s


These buildings a bit further down the street are still the same though.




Image from S1E14 - 07m32s


The building on the left here shown in episode 14 of the first season still matches.




Image from S1E14 - 07m46s


But the other building past the parking lot has changed.




Image from S2E5 - 15m11s


Another change is the building across the street that has been changed from an amusement space with batting cages into a supermarket.




Image from S2E3 - 17m44s


Image from S2E3 - 17m43s


The building shown in episode 14 of the first season is also shown in the second season.




Image from S2E3 - 17m47s


Image from S2E3 - 17m46s


Mio and Ritsu runs to school here.




Image from S2E3 - 17m52s


Image from S2E3 - 17m53s


Image from S2E3 - 17m57s


Past the parking lot.




Image from S2E3 - 18m00s


And the building that doesn't match any more.




Image from S2E3 - 18m02s


The fence has been removed too.




Image from S2E3 - 18m18s


The wall on the right here still matches.




Image from K-On movie - 96m53s


Image from K-On movie - 96m55s


The wall is also shown in the movie.




Image from S1E1 - 02m34s


And this is possibly the same wall seen in the first season OP as well.




Image from S1E1 - 02m48s


The wall is right next to the Kyoto University of Art and Design, which I've visited before.




Image from S2E11 - 14m10s


The last location. On the left here is at Dolittle Animal Hospital.




Image from S2E17 - 10m14s


Dolittle Animal Hospital on the left here too. In the middle here is the Kitashirakawa Bettocho bus stop.




Image from S2E17 - 10m16s


Everybody walking past the animal hospital building.




Image from S2E17 - 10m19s


Side view.




Image from S2E17 - 10m21s


They check out a rental studio here because the club room is undergoing renovations. The building is still the same, but the rental studio here has closed.




Image from S2E17 - 15m09s


Azusa and Yui heading back from the rental studio.




Image from S2E17 - 15m12s


This place is on the opposite side of the street.




Image from S2E17 - 15m20s


The animal hospital is on the right in this shot.




Image from S2E17 - 15m23s


Sawako arrives by car.




Image from S2E17 - 15m25s


Across the street on the left here is another supermarket, which used to be a bookstore. I stood right next to the animal hospital entrance when I took this picture.




Image from S2E17 - 15m32s


Sawako informs everybody that the club room renovations have been finished.




Image from S2E17 - 15m49s


View across the street.




Image from S2E27 - 06m14s


The supermarket building which used to be a bookstore was also shown in a later episode, including the insides which no longer matches of course.



Location map:



These locations were visited on 2019/04/18 and 2019/04/20.

Special thanks to the ones who went here before:

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...
