In addition to Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, Hirakata Park is supposedly also shown in K-On.

The spiral on the water slide is shown in the background of the anime shot here.

The wooden stairs is shown on the right.

At the top of the water slide there's a similar looking zig zag.

This is the view of the pool area, which is turned into skating rinks in the winter. If you look closely you can spot the similar looking rectangular pool and the yellow stairs to the left of it.

Hirakata Park also got a ferris wheel that's similar to one shown in this shot in the anime. The other elements doesn't match though.

K-On - Restaurant

The last place I visited this time was the restaurant seen in episode 10 of the second season of K-On. The closest train station is Rokujizō Station.

This is a Big Boy Steak Restaurant in real life.




Image from S2E10 - 05m48s


Everybody is spying on Sawako.

They sit down by the window here. The seats are positioned differently from the anime.




Image from S2E10 - 06m43s


There's similar looking booth seats along the other walls though.




Image from S2E10 - 07m23s


Not as many desserts on the menu here as in the show.




I just got a small steak and no desserts.




Image from S2E10 - 07m55s


The building shown in the background is no longer there.




Image from S2E10 - 07m56s


Sawako leaves.




Image from S2E10 - 07m59s


Everybody are watching from near the restaurant entrance.




Image from S2E10 - 08m16s


There's these parking info signs blocking the view here now.




Image from S2E10 - 08m27s


Everybody gets caught spying by Norimi, also known as Christina.

Mio gets shocked and freezes up.

Later in the same episode they all go with Norimi to an oden stall near Tojikawara Children's Park.

K-On - Home Improvement Shop

While checking out the Keihan Railway x Sound! Euphonium collaboration, I also stopped by some more K-On locations. The first was the insides of the home improvement shop they visit in episode 2 of the second season. The closest train station is Rokujizō Station.

Inside the shop. The outsides that was shown was another shop located at Kawabata-dori in Kyoto.




Image from S2E2 - 09m01s


Some of the interiors have changed but they sell a lot of the same goods.




Image from S2E2 - 11m45s


Mugi is shown later in the episode to have bought a spoon similar to the ones on the bottom left here.




Image from S2E2 - 09m38s


Lots of nuts and bolts for sale.




Image from S2E2 - 09m39s


Yui is amazed and asks Azusa to have a look.




Image from S2E2 - 09m50s


Yui also checks out a cordless screwdriver here.




Image from S2E2 - 10m05s


Ritsu has put on one of these hard hats.




Image from S2E2 - 10m08s


And blinds Mio with one of these lights.




Image from S2E2 - 10m20s


Yui tries on a coverall.




Image from S2E2 - 10m51s


Dogs and cats for sale in the shop.




Image from S2E2 - 10m53s


Lots of fish too.




Image from S2E2 - 11m27s


I didn't see any turtles for sale though, so no Ton-chan.
