Locodol - Nagoya Station

Next on my trip I visited Nagoya, so I took some pictures of Nagoya Station since it was shown in Locodol.



Image from Episode 11 - 04m10s


I got lucky and managed to get into an empty train car so I got these pictures inside the Shinkansen.




Image from Episode 11 - 04m06s


The seats are similar.




Image from Episode 11 - 04m19s


They travel by Shinkansen to Nagoya for the Locodol Festival in the anime.

Sign at one of the Nagoya Station Shinkansen platforms.

Image from Episode 11 - 06m03s


There's a lot more train times on the timetable in real life.




Image from Episode 11 - 06m03s


This statue is located outside Kintetsu Nagoya Station which is adjacent to Nagoya Station.




Image from Episode 11 - 06m13s


It's called Nana-chan, just like they say in the anime.




Image from Episode 11 - 06m17s


I've marked this statue on the map below.




Image from Episode 12 - 19m34s


This roof bit outside Nagoya Station is similar to the anime. It's not possible to get a picture from the same angle though.




Image from Episode 12 - 19m36s


Everybody trying to catch the train back.




Image from Episode 12 - 19m40s


And finally a picture on the Shinkansen again.

True Tears - Supermarket

The last True Tears place I visited was a Supermarket shown in episode 4.

Outside the supermarket.

Lawson store across the street from the supermarket.




After checking out the supermarket I went back to Jōhana Station.




Outside the station they had a Koitabi: True Tours Nanto vending machine.




Inside the station there was a tourist information office. This is where I rented the bicycle I used to get around since the P.A. Works building was so far away from the station.




In the tourist information office they had a True Tears corner.




Here they had a signed poster.




True tears art books, manga for various other shows set in Nanto and a Hanasaku Iroha Minko Graphig papercraft.




More Hanasaku Iroha Graphig papercraft and figures.




Koitabi: True Tours Nanto postcards.




And clear files.




They also had a guestbook here.






Where fans had left drawings and messages.




I left a message as well.




And finally I saw a Ninja Hattori-kun train here.




I had seen another Ninja Hattori-kun train at Takaoka Station earlier while checking out the park from True Tears.
