Love Live Sunshine - Chika's House Inside

In addition to the entrance area, I also took pictures inside the rest of Yasudaya Ryokan, which was shown as Chika's House in Love Live Sunshine, while staying there.



Image from S2E1 - 18m15s


Chika's sisters seems to be standing near the winding staircase here.




Image from S2E5 - 03m52s


The upstairs area here doesn't really match what's shown in the show though.




Image from S2E5 - 04m36s


Reverse view.




Image from S1E13 - 10m21s


There's no view towards the building that's shown as Riko's house either.




Image from S2E10 - 16m43s


One place that does match is the onsen bath, where Chika is looking for her new years gift.




Image from S1E9 - 02m32s


In the onsen bath area I also saw this folding screen that looked similar to one shown in a different episode.




Image from S2E10 - 16m45s


Chika continues the search for the new years gift, running off from the onsen bath area.




Image from S2E10 - 16m49s


She finds her father near this area.




Image from S2E10 - 16m51s


And her sisters in the ryokan dining room.




Since we were staying overnight we had dinner here.




We got the shabu shabu hot pot dinner.




And orange dessert.




We also got the Japanese style breakfast in this room.




Image from S2E10 - 16m52s


Chika's sisters seems to sit at this table.




Image from S2E10 - 17m03s


Chika finally finds the new years gift near the entrance.




Image from S2E10 - 17m05s


I saw a similar looking lamp elsewhere in the ryokan.




Image from S1E10 - 13m39s


This was the room we got. It didn't look like Chika's room in the anime.




The room had a view of the sea and on a clear day you could also see Mt. Fuji.




There was also a small private onsen bath.




In the ryokan gift shop they had Love Live Sunshine Numacha bottled green tea for sale.




I already had a bottle from earlier, so here's a picture of the bottle.




They also sold the mandarin orange ice pops which I had on an earlier trip.




Image from S2E5 - 06m32s


I got a few more pictures outside too, including from a scene next to the building shown as Riko's house.




Image from S2E5 - 12m45s


This is where the owners come to pick up the dog Yoshiko finds in the second season.




Image from S2E5 - 12m48s


Reverse view of Riko and Yoshiko.




Image from S2E5 - 12m51s


Under the building there's parking spots for the ryokan in real life.




Image from S2E5 - 12m59s


The owners and the dog thank Riko.




Image from S2E5 - 13m04s


And it seems to make her less afraid of dogs.




I also checked out Mito beach in front of the ryokan again since I spotted this giant Aquors decoration.




Image from S2E13 - 00m03s


And the pier at the beach to the right in the anime shot here had Love Live Sunshine lights now.

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.

Sakura Miku - Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival

While in Hirosaki checking out all the Flying Witch locations, I also got a few pictures of the Sakura Miku and Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival collaboration. At Hirosaki Station they had a giant Sakura Miku poster at the location I saw the Flying Witch ad back in 2016. Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival poster and Sakura Miku wall scroll inside the tourism information office at the station. Ad with Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun, the Hirosaki Castle mascot. Lots of Sakura Miku themed tourist maps of Hirosaki. If you wanted a Flying Witch map you had to ask. Sakura Miku decoration on the train station door. At Hirosaki Apple Park they had this cardboard cutout of Sakura Miku and Takamaru-kun. Long wall scroll inside the Apple Park shop. They had lots of Sakura Miku items for sale here. Including t-shirts. Clear files. Mobile batteries. And pin buttons. They also had lots of apple goods for sale. Including various drinks. And actual apples of course. While waking towards Hirosaki Park I...
