Love Live Sunshine - Chika's House Entrance

This time I also stayed at Yasudaya Ryokan which is shown as the place Chika lives in Love Live Sunshine, so I took pictures inside starting with the areas near the entrance.



Image from S1E1 - 03m29s


This sign matches the one shown in the anime.




Image from S1E1 - 03m30s


Image from S2E6 - 11m52s


Image from S2E10 - 03m49s


It's located inside the lounge area which is shown in several episodes.




Image from S1E3 - 06m45s


Chika tries to get her older sister Mito to invite people to the school idol concert.




Image from S1E9 - 02m54s


Chika is at the front desk of the ryokan here.




Image from S1E9 - 02m59s


Everybody are discussing if they should participate in the upcoming summer festival or not.




Image from S1E9 - 03m06s


In this sitting area next to the front desk.




Image from S1E9 - 03m18s


Chika walks over from the front desk..




Image from S1E9 - 03m23s


To the sitting area.




Image from S1E9 - 03m24s


And tells the others that she thinks that they should participate.




Image from S1E9 - 03m45s


You agrees.




Image from S1E9 - 03m52s


The screenshot here shows off the whole entrance area.




But I couldn't get a wide enough shot, so I had to split it up.




Image from S1E9 - 04m16s


Chika starts to wonder about why Kanan quit being a school idol.




Image from S1E9 - 04m19s


And thinks that the reason Dia gave them doesn't make sense.




Image from S1E10 - 13m22s


Chika overhears her oldest sister Shima and Riko's mother talking at the entrance here.




Image from S2E10 - 03m33s


This is right in front of the entrance where Chika is writing a note.




Image from S2E10 - 03m59s


She shows the note to her older sisters and mother asking for new years money.




Image from S2E10 - 04m24s


But Chika's mother decides to take the request literally and shows her various round objects instead. You can see lots of Love Live Sunshine goods and shikishi sign boards in the picture here. If you look in the bottom right you can also see some trays.




The trays were for arriving guests who got tea and a sweet while waiting to get checked in.




Image from S2E10 - 04m26s


In this corner they had more Love Live Sunshine items on display including cardboard cutouts.




Image from S2E10 - 04m27s


Chika is not amused.




Image from S2E10 - 04m35s


But everybody thinks that she's too old to get new years money.




Image from S2E10 - 04m40s


Behind where Mito is sitting here there were now some Love Live Sunshine illustrations on display in real life.




Image from S2E10 - 04m56s


Chika runs off when she hears You calling.




Image from S2E10 - 05m01s


Leaving just her sisters and her mother.




I also took a closer look at the corner with the cardboard cutouts. There's cutouts of Chika, Riko and the dog Shiitake, and there's also a giant Uchicchi plushie.




Love Live Sunshine posters hanging above the Uchicchi plushie.




They had big Shiitake and Chika plushies on display too.




Various Love Live Sunshine reading materials and a guestbook.




Lots of signatures in the guestbook.




And small drawings.




I signed it too.

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.
