The Eccentric Family - Akadama Apartment Walk

In the 3rd episode of the first season of The Eccentric Family we see Yasaburo and Yashiro walking towards the house where Professor Akadama's apartment is located. The path they take is actually accurate in real life so I got some pictures.



Image from S1E1 - 04m13s.


The scene starts inside Demachi Masugata Shopping Street...




Image from S1E1 - 04m43s.


Which is perhaps more known as the shopping street seen in Tamako Market. If you look closely at the sign hanging from the roof on the left you can sort-of see Tamako and friends on it.




Image from S1E3 - 06m19s.


The start of the scene where Yasaburo and Yashiro walks out of one of the side streets of the shopping street.




Image from S1E3 - 06m30s.


Yashiro shows that he can charge his cell phone with this fingers in front of this house.




Image from S1E3 - 06m37s.


If you look really closely you can see the roof of the shopping street in the distance.




Image from S1E3 - 06m47s.


Further down the street.




Image from S1E3 - 07m01s.


And the end of the street.




Image from S1E3 - 07m08s.


The fence in front of this house seems to be shorter in real life.




Image from S1E3 - 07m09s.


The drains matches.




Image from S1E3 - 07m25s.


Lots of sun, so it was hard to get a good picture here.




Image from S1E3 - 07m28s.


This is the location of Professor Akadama's apartment...




Image from S1E1 - 05m44s.


But the building here doesn't look the same in real life.




Image from S2E9 - 05m38s.


The fence and entrance gate aren't red either.




Image from S2E9 - 05m45s.


Reverse angle.




Image from S2E9 - 07m45s.


Right next to the house is also this 7-Eleven. I've marked a path from the shopping street to this 7-Eleven in the map below.




Image from S1E1 - 04m46s.


Image from S1E1 - 04m50s.


Back at the shopping street I also got a shot of this location shown as a panning shot in the anime.




Image from S1E1 - 04m42s.


Shopping street floor tile.




Image from S1E1 - 05m18s.


There's also a few buildings along the street they walk to Akadama's apartment shown in other episodes, including this place which is the location of Tama-ya mochi shop in Tamako Market!




Image from S1E1 - 05m29s.


Opposite side of the street.




Image from S1E1 - 05m32s.


Yaichiro gets angry at Yasaburo.




Image from S1E1 - 05m34s.


And Yasaburo runs away.




Image from S1E10 - 00m02s.


Didn't get the full shot here, but you can see enough of the matching elements. The buildings hare are just to the left of the place shown in Tamako Market.




Image from S2E12 - 16m40s.


I also got this shot of the nearby Kamogawa delta, a location that was also shown in K-On, that matches the anime.




Image from S1E3 - 12m40s.


And this picture of Demachiyanagi Station.

The Eccentric Family - Shrine Revisit

On this trip I also went back to Shimogamo Shrine to get some more pictures since season 2 of the show had been aired since the last time I visited.



Image from S2E12 - 15m23s


Outside the tower gate.




Image from S1E4 - 04m34s


This place is to the right of the tower gate.




Image from S1E8 - 08m20s


There's a side entrance here.




Image from S2E1 - 03m21s


There's also a path that leads into the forest here.




Image from S2E5 - 06m52s


This is also where Yaichiro practices asking Gyokuran out.




Image from S2E5 - 07m25s


With Yasaburo disguised as Gyokuran.




Image from S1E7 - 21m23s


The side entrance as seen from inside the shrine.




Image from S1E3 - 05m40s


Closeup.




Image from S1E8 - 09m09s


The water level was lower when I was here.




Image from S1E10 - 02m34s


No platform in the water in real life.




Image from S2E4 - 12m18s


Shot from the other side of the water.




Image from S2E4 - 21m32s


Yaichiro and Gyokuran playing shogi on the platform in the water.




Image from S2E2 - 03m16s


Since the water level was so low I managed to get this shot from the S2 OP.




Image from S1E9 - 08m19s


Another shot of the small bridge.




Image from S2E12 - 16m33s


View of the tower gate from inside the shrine. There was a couple taking pictures in wedding outfits here.




Image from S2E12 - 16m13s


The groom was wearing a montsuki kimono just like Yaichiro did in the anime.




At the shrine I also saw this Yasaburo cardboard cutout.



No map since this is a famous tourist attraction.
