Robotics Notes - Tanegashima Space Center

Yet another Robotics;Notes locations I just had to visit was Tanegashima Space Center, and I also checked out the free tour they offered.

This is the entrance road from the west to the space center area. You can also drive through the mountains to the north of the space center.

Side view.




Image from Episode 10 - 09m47s


If you drive to the space center you don't have to walk up the hill. There's parking lots both up near the administration area and to the right here.




Image from Episode 10 - 09m54s


They were building another launch viewing area up on the mountain to the right here.

This building is the guest house and cafeteria where you can get lunch.

Reverse view.

The building on the right here is the range control center.

Full view of the guest house and cafeteria building. I've marked a path from the museum building to this building in the map below.




Image from Episode 1 - 02m10s


This is the administration building in the administration area which is shown in the first OP.




Image from Episode 12 - 01m08s


This Osaki Launch Complex building that Nae cycles past in the second OP has been torn down.




Image from Episode 1 - 22m06s


It was also shown in the first ED. No entry at all here now though.




Image from Episode 21 - 11m17s


And finally another view towards the launch area.




This is the view from the Rocket Hill observation point inside the space center area.

Robotics Notes - Hamada Beach

Hamada beach and the Chikura cave at the beach is also shown in Robotics;Notes.



Image from Episode 5 - 07m13s


Only 1 cat when I were here.




Image from Episode 5 - 07m17s


The beach gazebo is covered by a tree, so I couldn't get a good shot here.




It is here behind the tree though.




Image from Episode 5 - 07m25s


Front of the gazebo.




Image from Episode 5 - 07m33s


Kai and Jun looking for Airi.




Image from Episode 5 - 07m47s


But they find a dead whale instead. Luckily I didn't find any dead whale here.




Image from Episode 5 - 07m59s


Image from Episode 5 - 08m06s


Jun and Kai walking back.




Image from Episode 11 - 04m23s


Frau and Kai checking out Chikura cave in a later episode.




Image from Episode 11 - 04m25s


Inside the cave at low tide. If you go here at a really high tide the whole thing is flooded.




Image from Episode 11 - 04m33s


Outside the cave.




Image from Episode 11 - 06m03s


This buried torii gate has been removed in real life.

Kai back inside the cave.

Frau getting frustrated at the flags they have to clear.




Image from Episode 11 - 14m53s


Another shot inside the cave. It's called Chikura grotto on the map below for some reason.




Image from Episode 11 - 15m25s


There's entrances to the cave both from the beach on the left here and behind the cave in the middle.




Image from Episode 1 - 21m47s


Airi at one of the cave entrances in the first ED. There doesn't seem to be a cave entrance that matches exactly in real life, but this one seemed to be the one matching the most.




Image from Episode 12 - 01m20s


Jun running on the beach in the second OP.




Image from Episode 12 - 01m22s


Closeup of Jun.
