Sound! Euphonium - Actpal Uji Outside

On this trip I finally had a chance to check out Actpal Uji which was shown in 2 episodes of the second season of Sound! Euphonium. It's pretty far from any kind of public transport so it's best to rent a car to get there. This post got pictures outside, but I also got some from inside the main hall, the cafeteria and a passage that's shown several times.

This is outside the main building which houses the main hall and a cafeteria. The dome on the top of the building is an astronomical observatory.

Closeup of the astronomical observatory dome.




Image from S2E3 - 01m48s


Next to the main building is the gymnasium on the left here.




Image from S2E2 - 13m00s


Reverse view from the other end of the main building.




Image from S2E3 - 20m25s


The area got lots of mountains around it.




Image from S2E3 - 20m29s


This road is next to the main building.




Image from S2E3 - 20m34s


Kumiko walks along the road.




Image from S2E3 - 20m31s


No flowers blooming when I visited.




Image from S2E3 - 20m39s


You can see the main building in the background here. Kumiko notices...




Image from S2E3 - 20m40s


The sun rising behind the mountains.




Image from S2E3 - 20m44s


While continuing walking.




Image from S2E3 - 20m51s


Kumiko then hears somebody playing an euphonium.




Image from S2E3 - 20m55s


And she follows the sounds.




Image from S2E3 - 20m54s


Past this grassy area.




Image from S2E3 - 20m57s


And up these stairs.




Image from S2E3 - 02m05s


The area at the bottom of the stairs was shown in a shot earlier in the episode.




Image from S2E3 - 21m05s


Kumiko makes it to the top of the stairs.




Image from S2E3 - 21m17s


And spots the person playing the euhphonium.




Image from S2E3 - 21m18s


It's Asuka.




Image from S2E3 - 21m24s


The road goes further up in front of Asuka here.




Image from S2E3 - 21m35s


Kumiko continues listening to Asuka playing.




Image from S2E3 - 21m55s


Another shot of Asuka.




Image from S2E3 - 10m22s


If you continue up the road you get to this area.




Image from S2E3 - 10m29s


Kumiko sits on a bench here.




Image from S2E3 - 10m41s


She's joined by Reina.




Image from S2E3 - 10m43s


And they light up senko hanabi sparklers together.




Image from S2E3 - 11m01s


Overhead view.

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.

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...
