Your Lie in April - Shrine

In episode 12 of Your Lie in April we see Kousei, Hiroko and Koharu visiting a shrine which is based on Ekoda Sengen Shrine in real life. This shrine is located right outside the north exit of Ekoda Station.

The shrine seems to be much smaller in real life.

It doesn't seem to have a bend in the path like in the anime, but here's a picture of the main shrine building.

The Lawson store in the background here seems to have opened after the anime was made.

There were trucks parked all over the place when I visited for some reason, so I couldn't get the best of shots of the buildings in the background here.

The air conditioning unit on the wall of the building seems to be the same.

A shot of Kousei with his mother at the shrine when he was younger.




I also checked for anime ema, but I didn't find any.
