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 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.

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. Image from S2E4 - 08m29s The main shrine building. Image from ...

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...
