Clannad - School Hill

In the town of Mizuho there's several Clannad locations including the school hill. So I took the train to the closest train station which is Hakonegasaki Station to check it out.

My image is slightly closer up, but you can see the railings that match.

You can see the bottom of these stairs in the anime picture.

Not a match picture, but it was the end of the sakura season so I thought I'd include this since it looked so nice.

Tomoya and Nagisa is standing a bit further down the hill in the anime shot, but you can see the railing and the curved path that matches.




Image from Episode 9 - 19m56s


This is at the top of the hill. Unfortunately the school itself doesn't match. The school shown in the anime is located somewhere else.

A similar shot was also used for the cover of the first DVD volume of the anime in Japan.

At the very bottom of the hill there's also these stairs.

The stairs lead up to this park area which was also shown in the anime.

You can see this monument to the right in the anime shot.

This road to the right of both the hill and the stairs to the park is shown in the Clannad OP.




Image from After Story Episode 4 - 19m16s


It is also shown a few other times in both the original series and After Story.
