Alright, here’s the IRL K-ON thread I promised. Sorry this is just going to be an image dump, but I hope you guys enjoy it. I’ve never shared it before.

As soon as I found out Sakurakou High was based on a real place I knew I had to go.

The school is in a town called Toyosato. It was like three hours by train from Tokyo. It’s pretty close to Kyoto, which makes sense considering which studio made the show.

It’s a pretty small no-name town. It was by no means touristy, but they acknowledged their K-ON fame. There are these wood cutouts of children running into the street to remind drivers to slow down, and a lot of them had been replaced with K-ON versions.

A lot of shops had posters for character birthday parties held at the school in past years. I seriously wonder what those would be like.

My heart was pounding so hard when I got my first glimpse of the building. It was fucking surreal. Everything about it: the fact that I was seeing the real life version of a place I knew so well from fiction, the fact that I’d traveled so far to see it, idk how to describe it.

I mean, it’s the exact same place. I can’t believe how much effort the animators went to to capture it.

I had Toyosato elementary in my itinerary when I visited Japan years ago but it was a detour from Kyoto and ended up going to Uji for a Hibike Euphonium pilgrimage instead.

>>507
Did you try out the bread from that bakery? Also, it seems that occasionally they hold live concerts or gatherings of the sort in the school, there are videos of it on youtube.

 No.528

>>526
I did; it was alright, I don't really remember it.

I can't decide if those concerts look heartwarming or terrifying. The Mio-head costume that shows up in a few of them is disturbing.

That's awesome you did something similar. I got some strong Kyoani melodrama vibes from Hibike so I dropped it early on, but maybe I should give it another try.

There are certainly some elements of drama in Hibike but it wasn't too bad I think and I am usually averse to dramas as well as romances. I find that the other parts of the anime makes up for it, it might also help if you have some interest in music.

There were other places I'd like to go to as well, chiefly the elementary school that was the main reference for Asahigaoka in Non Non Biyori but it was a little too far out a trip to make although I did went to a couple of other places.

Personally I find that Japan is a naturally beautiful place and having been there it isn't surprising to see where they get all their inspirations from.

 No.534

>>531
I agree with you about romances and dramas, so I guess I'll have to give Hibike another try.

Non Non Biyori had a beautiful setting. I didn't know there was a real reference for the school.

This is absolutely incredible. The lenghts they went to make sure everything was the exact same, and the respect shown in the real-life building are both a sight to behold.

Thank you very much for sharing sushi!
