K-On - Rock'n Plaza

The next place I visited was Rock'n Plaza at the Shinkyogoku shopping street that was shown in episode 13 of the second season of K-On.

The scene starts out at the nearby cinema, which I visited before.




Image from S2E13 - 09m18s


Not the same horror movie, but they had a poster for It Chapter Two outside this time.




Image from S2E13 - 09m21s


Azusa suggest that they watch another movie.




Image from S2E13 - 09m22s


They also had a poster for Violet Evergarden I: Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll here.




When I passed by the cinema again the next month they had lots of other Kyoto Animation movie posters here as well, like these Free! ones, so I took some more shots.




Beyond the Boundary.




Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions.




And a signed Liz and the Blue Bird poster.

Ui takes a closer look of the poster.




Image from S2E13 - 09m47s


Since they have some time before the movie start they go to this nearby convenience store.




Image from S2E13 - 09m49s


This used to be an ampm convenience store, but is now a Lawson.




Image from S2E13 - 10m04s


While in the store they spot a poster for work as lottery assistants.




Image from S2E13 - 10m09s


And they decide to take the job.




Image from S2E13 - 10m11s


This is at the Rock'n Plaza. I've marked a path from this small park to the convenience store in the map below.




Image from S2E13 - 10m33s


Mugi shows up.




Image from S2E13 - 10m36s


With lottery tickets. The building in the background here has changed.




Image from S2E13 - 10m53s


And she wins a pack of pocket tissues.




Image from S2E13 - 11m15s


Azusa somehow wins the 1st prize.




Image from S2E13 - 11m29s


So she asks Mugi...




Image from S2E13 - 11m31s


And Ui to pinch her cheeks to check if she's dreaming.




Image from S2E13 - 11m43s


And it's revealed that she actually is.

This location was visited on 2019/11/02 and 2019/11/03. Some of the poster shots are from 2019/12/22.

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.

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...
