The Eccentric Family - Rokudochinno-ji Temple

The last place I visited while in Kyoto this time was Rokudochinno-ji Temple which is where Yajiro is living in The Eccentric Family.

Inside the temple grounds.

The garden area where Yajiro lives is behind this door that was closed when I visited.




Image from S1E2 - 07m44s


There's a small slot in the door though, so I got some pictures of the garden area.

Yasaburo visits Yajiro who lives as a frog inside this well.




Image from S2E1 - 03m39s


The temple is shown in the second season too of course.

This road close to the temple is shown in the first season. I've marked a path from the temple to this place in the map below.

The Eccentric Family - Kyoto City Zoo

Close to Nanzen-ji Temple, there's also Kyoto City Zoo that was shown in the second season of The Eccentric Family.

Bus stop right outside the main entrance to the zoo.




Image from S2E4 - 02m30s


Full view of the main entrance to the zoo. It's difficult getting a shot from the same angle here.




Image from S2E4 - 02m37s


Inside the zoo at the tanuki enclosure.




The tanuki here are named Minato and Mirai. Whenever Yasaburo isn't playing stand-in at least ^_^.




Image from S2E4 - 03m08s


The small wooden house on the left and the concrete tunnel on the right are the same as in the show.




Image from S2E4 - 03m16s


This ferris wheel for kids are in the middle of the zoo.




Image from S2E4 - 04m07s


Gyokuran visits Yasaburo.




Image from S2E4 - 04m15s


I managed to get a shot of one of the tanuki sitting in the same spot as Yasaburo here.

Closeup of Gyokuran.

The information signs on the left and right seems to be the same in real life, but they're not in the same exact spots.



No map since this is a famous tourist attraction.

The Eccentric Family - Nanzen-ji Temple

While in Kyoto I also checked out some more The Eccentric Family locations, including Nanzen-ji Temple that was shown in the second season.

This is the Sanmon gate at Nanzen-ji Temple.

Closer look at the gate.

He's joined by Yasaburo.




Image from S2E4 - 15m50s


Yasaburo sits down.

And they talk about Yaichiro and Gyokuran.

View from the Sanmon gate balcony.

The balcony itself.

This room where Yasaburo talks to Gyokuran is inside the gate, but you're not allowed to take pictures of it.




Image from S2E4 - 19m20s


Another shot of Shojiro.

When he's joined by Gyokuran. Another part of Nanzen-ji Temple was shown in K-On, which I visited before.
