Non Non Biyori - Amano no Sato

A small village named Amano no Sato is shown in both seasons of Non Non Biyori, so I went to have a look. The closest train station is Kaseda Station where there's a bus that goes to Niutsuhime Shrine located in the village a few times a day, but it's easier to rent a car to get there like I did.

This area in the western part of the village was shown in both seasons.

View towards the south.




Image from S1E1 - 13m04s


The road here curves in the other direction compared to the anime.




Image from S1E4 - 15m05s


The buildings behind Renge here is towards the north.




Image from S1E1 - 01m27s


The area in the upper left of the previous shot is also shown in this shot from another angle.




Image from S1E1 - 00m30s


Between all the fields there's also this small bridge that looks similar to the on in the show.




Image from S1E1 - 00m52s


Another small bridge.




Image from S1E12 - 10m21s


This drainage canal has become more overgrown.




Image from S2E12 - 18m03s


View towards the east. The sign on the road mirror is rusted in real life, but otherwise it matches.

Another shot towards the east.




Image from S1E2 - 00m01s


I also checked out the eastern part of the village near Niutsuhime Shrine.




Image from S1E1 - 00m58s


This small temple structure is located in among the trees from the previous shot. I've marked a path from this small temple structure to the road mirror in the western part of the village in the map below.




Image from S1E1 - 01m03s


There's no tobidashi figure here like in the anime. Behind the utility pole there's some signs for a parking lot.




Image from S1E4 - 10m46s


The parking lot is located on the left here in real life. The railings on the little bridge has been changed since the show was made, so it no longer matches.

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.



Image from S1E10 - 19m01s


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.

Non Non Biyori - Tokyo Tower

In addition to Love Live Sunshine, Tokyo Tower is also sort-of shown in Non Non Biyori.



Image from S2E7 - 06m42s


This is in the second season when Hikage shown off her pictures of Tokyo Tower to Renge.




Image from S2E7 - 06m44s


Inside the tower.




Image from S2E7 - 06m46s


Couldn't find the matching view here. Maybe it was in the part that was closed for renovations.



No map since this is a famous tourist attraction.
