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.

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

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...

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.

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.
