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.

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

Special thanks to the ones who went here before:

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! Euphonium: Our Promise: A Brand New Day, Free! -Road to the World- Dream and Violet Evergarden the Movie. And another banner for the KyoAni Do Fan Days 2019. Just Tsurune goods on display this time. 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...
