Weathering With You - Kabukichō

I also checked out Weathering With You locations in the Kabukichō parts of Shinjuku.

Hodaka is walking down the streets of Kabukichō with the red Kabukichō Ichiban-gai gate in the background.




Image from Trailer 2 - 00m34s


He gets stopped by the police in front of this Tenkaippin ramen restaurant.




Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 00m13s


In another trailer he peers around this corner.




Image from Special Trailer - 03m20s


This is right next to where Hodaka peers around the corner. If you look closely you can see him sitting next to the blue trash can in the middle of the anime shot.




It was difficult to match the whole anime shot in one picture, so here's another from a different angle.




Image from Special Trailer - 03m27s


The place where Hodaka sits looks a bit different in real life and there's no blue trash can.




Image from Trailer 1 - 00m30s


Closeup of the spot where Hodaka seems to sit.




Image from Trailer 2 - 00m40s


Image from Trailer 2 - 00m41s


Also next to where Hodaka sits down is this place where he drags Hina along.




Image from Trailer 1 - 00m28s


This shot towards the skies is from an alley.




Image from Trailer 1 - 00m29s


Another shot from the same alley.




Image from US Subtitled Trailer - 00m24s


Hodaka is seen exiting the alley here.




Image from US Subtitled Trailer - 00m25s


And he spots...




Image from US Subtitled Trailer - 00m26s


Hina with some dubious types. On the left in the picture I took here you can see ads for the game Yakuza: Like a Dragon.




The ads were actually in the location of a certain parking lot that's shown in all the Yakuza games.




Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m33s


This is another street where Hodaka drags Hina along.




Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m34s


Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m34s


It's shown in various shots.




Image from Suntory Water Rainy Version Commercial - 00m03s


In different trailers and commercials.




Image from Special Trailer - 04m59s


Image from Special Trailer - 05m00s


They pass these vending machines.




Image from Special Trailer - 05m01s


These coin lockers.




Image from Special Trailer - 05m02s


And this parking lot.




Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m35s


View down the street they ran through.




Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 01m36s


Reverse view.




Image from Trailer 2 - 01m33s


Further along the street is also this place.




Image from US Dubbed Trailer - 00m42s


Where Hodaka seems to fire a gun. There's only letters on one side of the pink sign here in real life. I've marked a path starting at the Kabukichō Ichiban-gai gate, going through all the other locations, ending up here in the map below.

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. Location map: This location was visited on 2019/04/23. Special thanks to the ones who went here before: http://blog.livedoor.jp/seichijunrei/archives/51971829.html
