Non Non Biyori - Amano no Sato

A small village named Amano no Sato is shown in both seasons of Non Non Biyori, so I went to have a look. The closest train station is Kaseda Station where there's a bus that goes to Niutsuhime Shrine located in the village a few times a day, but it's easier to rent a car to get there like I did.

This area in the western part of the village was shown in both seasons.




Image from S1E1 - 12m49s


Image from S1E12 - 21m09s


View towards the south.




Image from S1E1 - 13m04s


The road here curves in the other direction compared to the anime.




Image from S1E4 - 15m05s


The buildings behind Renge here is towards the north.




Image from S1E1 - 01m27s


The area in the upper left of the previous shot is also shown in this shot from another angle.




Image from S1E1 - 00m30s


Between all the fields there's also this small bridge that looks similar to the on in the show.




Image from S1E1 - 00m52s


Another small bridge.




Image from S1E12 - 10m21s


This drainage canal has become more overgrown.




Image from S2E12 - 18m03s


View towards the east. The sign on the road mirror is rusted in real life, but otherwise it matches.




Image from S1E12 - 07m38s


Another shot towards the east.




Image from S1E2 - 00m01s


I also checked out the eastern part of the village near Niutsuhime Shrine.




Image from S1E1 - 00m58s


This small temple structure is located in among the trees from the previous shot. I've marked a path from this small temple structure to the road mirror in the western part of the village in the map below.




Image from S1E1 - 01m03s


There's no tobidashi figure here like in the anime. Behind the utility pole there's some signs for a parking lot.




Image from S1E4 - 10m46s


The parking lot is located on the left here in real life. The railings on the little bridge has been changed since the show was made, so it no longer matches.

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.
