The Eccentric Family - Arima Onsen

In the second season of The Eccentric Family we see Yasaburo visiting Arima Onsen.



Image from S2E6 - 04m51s


This road is located between Arima Onsen Station and the main parts of the town. The red bridge in the background is called Nene-bashi.

Yasaburo is looking at...

Kin no Yu.




Image from S2E6 - 05m02s


Kin no Yu is one of the public onsen bath houses in Arima. The insides match what's shown in the anime as well, but no pictures allowed there.




Image from S2E6 - 06m29s


After going to Kin no Yu, Yasaburo goes to the café on the second floor here. In the background on the top right you can see the roof of Zenpuku-ji Temple.




Unfortunately the café was closed when I visited, so I couldn't get pictures inside.

Though the café windows Yasaburo spots...

Benten and other Friday Fellows.

Benten and the others is at the souvenir shop on the right. On the left is the bus terminal where you'll arrive if you take a bus instead of the train to get here.

Yasaburo hiding behind this mailbox. The stairs up to Zenpuku-ji Temple is in the background.

Yasaburo follows Benten and the others to this ice cream shop.




Image from S2E6 - 09m26s


Reverse view. If you look closely at the picture here you can spot a cardboard cutout inside the shop on the left.




It was cardboard cutouts of Rinka and Fuuka Arima, characters from Onsen Musume.




On the table there were Onsen Musume beef curry rice for sale.

Benten buys ice cream from the ice cream shop.

Before everybody heads to their hotel.




Image from S2E6 - 09m51s


Yasaburo still tailing them. This corner of the wall is slightly different than what's shown in the anime.




Image from S2E6 - 09m54s


The stairs here are a bit further away from the corner of the wall in real life.




Image from S2E6 - 09m55s


Yasaburo hiding behind the wall.




Image from S2E6 - 10m05s


Before running over to the hotel.




Image from S2E6 - 10m08s


This place is called Point Vacation Arima in real life. I've marked a path from the ice cream shop to this place in the map below.




At the local tourist information office I saw more Onsen Musume items.




Another cardboard cutout of Fuuka Arima.




And a signed Onsen Musume poster.




I also saw this Naruto and Boruto decorated bus here.

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.
