Haruhi Suzumiya - Shopping Street East

Another location I visited was the shopping street shown in Haruhi Suzumiya. This street is actually not located in Nishinomiya like most other Haruhi Suzumiya locations, but in Amagasaki. In addition to the eastern parts shown here, I also visited the southern parts of the shopping street.

Outside the main shopping street entrance. It is located right next to Hanshin Amagasaki Station, not to be confused with JR Amagasaki Station.

The station is to the left here and the shopping street entrance on the right.

This stone tablet is inside Amagasaki Central Park which is right in front of the north side of the station.

The sign here at the entrance is different and the shopping street is called Amagasaki Chuo - Sanwa - Deyashiki, also known as Genki Street, and not Iwaigawa like in the show.

Mikuru and Yuki advertising for Yamatsuchi Model Shop in The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina, which is based on Wan Wan Toy Store in real life.

And back at the toy store. It's difficult getting a picture matching the anime shot here since the street is narrow.

Haruhi talks to the store owner.

Kyon is skeptical about what's happening.

The shops on the other side of the toy store still seems to match.

Haruhi manages to get model guns for the movie the SOS Brigade is making.

And she hands over the guns to Kyon to carry.

And here they film...

The advertisement for the store shown in The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina in the first season as payment for the guns.

With lots of onlookers.




Hanging outside the toy store they still had this Haruhi Suzumiya location map. I've marked a path from where the stone tablet in the park is located to this place in the map below.
