Taisho-suji Papier-Mâché Art Exhibition

After hearing that the papier-mâché art exhibition at Taisho-suji shopping street included some anime characters I went and had a look. The closest JR train station is Shin-Nagata Station.

Just to the north of the shopping street there's this statue of Tetsujin 28, also known as Gigantor in some countries.

Closeup of the statue.

This was the first papier-mâché art I spotted at the shopping street.

It's of Lupin and Jigen from Lupin the Third.

Right behind it there were these ones of Serval from Kemono Friends, Oni from Hentatsu and Rin from Kemurikusa.

Closeup from 2F.

They also had a lot of other papier-mâché art on display.

Including this Eevee from Pokémon.

And other.

Characters.

I also saw these banners with Tetsujin 28 on them.

And a poster for the 10th anniversary of the statue. I've marked the location of the statue on the map below since the papier-mâché art is not currently on display.

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. Image from Episode 22 - 19m13s Reverse view. Image f...
