Flying Witch - Cherry Blossom Festival

In episode 4 of Flying Witch we see Makoto, Chinatsu and Kei visiting the Cherry Blossom Festival in Hirosaki Park. I've visited the castle, bench and shrine inside the park before, but not during the cherry blossom season, so I had a look when I visited this time.

Lots of lanterns and cherry blossom trees lining the park.

View of the moat around the castle park.




Image from Episode 4 - 00m42s


There was a spot inside the park where there was a heart shape in between the cherry tree branches.




Image from Episode 4 - 01m01s


Just like the last time I visited this picture is flipped since it's easier to get a picture from this side of the bridge.




Image from Episode 4 - 01m03s


The castle keep is still under renovations.




Image from Episode 4 - 03m30s


This is at the Aomori Prefecture Gokoku Shrine grounds inside the park. The stalls look similar to the ones in the show.




Image from Episode 4 - 03m34s


Kei shows off the money they got for spending at the festival.




Image from Episode 4 - 03m58s


Chinatsu getting grilled dango rice snack from one of the food stalls.




The stall I checked out even had a picture of Chinatsu eating grilled dango from the second manga cover.




I didn't try the grilled dango myself, but I tried other snacks.




Whole fish on a stick.




Meat sticks and yakisoba.




And even apple ice cream.




Image from Episode 4 - 04m30s


After eating all the snacks they pass this shooting gallery.




Image from Episode 4 - 04m37s


I only got a shot in the opposite direction from the anime here since there were too many people in the other direction.




Image from Episode 4 - 04m43s


This haunted house was here next to the shrine torii gate in real life too.




Image from Episode 4 - 04m59s


Kei doesn't want to check it out.




Image from Episode 4 - 05m07s


But gets dragged along by Makoto and Chinatsu.




Image from Episode 4 - 05m12s


Closeup of the roof of the haunted house.




Image from Episode 4 - 05m16s


Everybody runs screaming out of the exit.




Image from Episode 4 - 05m17s


And stops at the other side of the shrine torii gate.




Image from Episode 4 - 05m31s


Skeletons here in real life.




Image from Episode 4 - 12m34s


I also got a quick shot of the park bench again.




Image from Episode 4 - 12m41s


And the moat.

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. Image from Episode 22 - 19m13s Reverse view. Image f...
