AnoHana - Bridge

On my most recent visit to Japan I checked out some places seen in the anime Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. The first location I decided to check out was of course the bridge seen in the show.



Even before I made the journey to the bridge I saw this ad on a train. A good sign!




This is the closest station to the bridge, Onohara Station in Chichibu, Saitama.




They had these posters all over the station.

And here's the bridge.

There's a different number of flower beds on the bridge, but other than that it's quite similar.

You can see the bricks that got the same pattern as in the anime.

The houses in the background is the same.

On Chichibu bridge. I've marked the path from Onohara Station to this bridge on the map below.




Movie poster


Underneat Chichibu bridge there's this walkway that was used for one of the AnoHana movie posters.




Close to the bridge I also saw this AnoHana themed vending machine.
