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 walked along this pedestrian street.




Which had Sakura Miku banners hanging from the light poles.




And lots of pink sakura trees.




Takamaru-kun cardboard cutout and lots of Sakura Miku posters outside this shop.




Another poster. This one advertised that you could get a free Sakura Miku cloth if you bought items at certain stores.




At Hirosaki Park, they had giant Sakura Miku illustrations outside each park entrance.




Another illustration at night.




I only got pictures of 3 of them, but there were others as well.




Vending machines had cherry blossom themed drinks for sale, although no Sakura Miku ones.




I also got pictures of cherry blossom trees of course.




All over the park.




Even at night.




Reflecting in the water.




I got one of the Sakura Miku themed tourist maps and bought a Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun pin button.



No location map since it's no longer there.

These locations were visited on 2019/04/24 and 2019/04/25.

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. Special thanks to the ones who went ...

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...
