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.

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.

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 ...

Haruhi Suzumiya - Ferry

In addition to checking out the port area of Tokushima I also took the Nankai ferry since it was shown in Haruhi Suzumiya. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 00m48s The ferry runs between Tokushima and Wakayama. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 04m13s Unfortunately the ferry that was shown in the anime was retired in 2007, so the one I took didn't match. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 04m33s There were some similarities though like these green sailcloth covered walkways. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 04m39s The seating areas outside were different. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 05m12s These rows of plastic chairs didn't match either. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 06m15s The insides were slightly more similar. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 06m18s Sitting area with vending machines. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Part 1 - 06m22s Area where you could lie down. Image from Remote Island Syndrome Pa...
