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.

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.

Flying Witch - Pond

Another location shown in the first episode of Flying Witch is a small pond located at Tokiwano-noson Park. Image from Episode 1 - 17m01s It was cloudy when I visited so Mount Iwaki wasn't visible. Image from Episode 2 - 14m19s Around the pond I also saw what seemed to be bakke butterbur sprouts which was featured in the second episode of the show, although in a different location .

Clannad After Story - New Hospital

I also visited the new hospital shown in the later episodes of Clannad After Story, not to be confused with the hospital Nagisa goes to when she's pregnant. Image from Episode 20 - 20m43s Image from Episode 21 - 08m55s The hospital is close to Kemigawahama Station in real life. You could walk here, but it's easier to take a bus. Image from Episode 21 - 10m03s It's called Chiba Kaihin Municipal Hospital, and not Hikarizaka General Hospital like in the anime. Image from Episode 21 - 10m06s I only saw one bench here and it didn't have a roof over it. Image from Episode 21 - 11m38s View towards the main entrance. Image from Episode 22 - 18m54s View of the hospital from the other side of the road. There's no park area here in real life. Image from Episode 21 - 10m49s There's no park area to the left of the hospital either, just more parking spots. Image from Episode 22 - 18m57s Fuko and Kouko outside the hospital.
