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

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

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.

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

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.
Image from S2E4 - 02m24s
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.
Image from S2E4 - 04m30s
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.

And they talk about Yaichiro and Gyokuran.
Image from S2E4 - 17m51s
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.
Image from S2E4 - 19m21s
