Your Name - Shinkaisansya Shrine

The kagura-den stage shown in Your Name is supposedly based on one located at Shinkaisansya Shrine in real life. The closest train station is Usuda Station, but it's quite far and there's no rental bicycle places nearby, so it might be better to rent a car to get here.

Side of the building.

In real life the back of the stage is seen from this angle instead of the front.




Image from Your Name - 15m00s


Since the position of the stage isn't the same it's difficult to match this shot.




Image from Your Name - 15m03s


The insides of the roof is different here.




Image from Your Name - 15m10s


Back of the stage.




Image from Your Name - 15m16s


There's another building right in front of the stage in real life.

The stairs and the rest of the buildings here are different.




Image from Your Name - 16m18s


The shamusho shrine office building is also different.




Image from Your Name - 16m29s


These stairs are different too.




Image from Your Name - 16m48s


The path up to the shrine do go through a forest area though and the white stone lanterns are similar, but no red torii gate.




Image from Your Name - 29m53s


This is the main torii gate of the shrine, but it doesn't match the one seen in the movie at all.

Your Name - Train Crossing

I also checked out a bunch of Your Name locations in Nagano, starting with the train crossing that was supposedly shown in the movie, which is located close to Otabe Station in real life.



Image from Your Name - 10m56s


This is the angle that seems to match the most compared to what was shown in the movie, but the screenshot is flipped and there's some elements missing.




Image from Your Name - 10m56s


This is the screenshot as shown in the movie. You can see the similar looking metal utility box in the picture here.




Image from Your Name - 31m08s


I also took a picture from the opposite side so the metal utility box position matches when the screenshot is flipped.




Image from Your Name - 31m08s


There's a sign with a 7 on it here, but it's not in the same location as in the movie.




Image from Your Name - 31m08s


I also took a picture from the road, then the metal utility box position matches, but the road and railway track is switched.

Non Non Biyori - Observation Platform

The observation platform shown in episode 10 of the first season of Non Non Biyori is supposedly based on Mount Saijozan Observation Platform in real life, so I went to have a look.

They go to the observation platform to watch the first sunrise of the new year.




Image from S1E10 - 19m09s


The platform looks similar, but the areas around it doesn't seem to match.




Image from S1E10 - 19m03s


View down from the platform.




Image from S1E10 - 19m39s


There's no benches here in real life.




Image from S1E10 - 20m03s


Renge and Kaede watches the sunrise from the platform.




Image from S1E10 - 20m27s


The view doesn't match.




Image from S1E10 - 20m38s


A lot more trees around the platform.




Image from S1E10 - 20m41s


There's a big map located where Renge and Kaede seems to be standing in the show.




The local train line was shut down in 2012, so the only way to get here is to take a bus from Yashiro Station, which doesn't run that often, or to rent a car.
