Anime Travel 10 – Bunny Girl Senpai in Real Life

Enoshima island from Shichigahama beach

Hi again, Katsu here. If you are an avid romance/supranatural anime enjoyer, I don't think this anime need to be introduced. During its airing back in 2018, it sure got a huge hit. This time, I want to share my trip with another pilgrimage with this anime. For this one, I actually combine the travelling with other titles such as Just Because! for Enoshima, and little bit of Hanasaku Iroha for Kanazawa Station and Silent Voice for Ogaki.

In addition to its already beautiful romance story, Cloverworks sure never disappoints us with high quality art and visual, which is a lot of fun for me to write this post as I binge-watched this series once again (and cried a little in the process lol).

For the travel around itself, I used the legendary and iconic Enoden (JP: 江ノ電) train to travel around Enoshima and Kamakura (To bad I didn't have enough time to explore Kamakura as well). I used the one-day pass called Noriokun (JP: のりおくん) which costed 650 Yen and can take you from Fujisawa to Kamakura and everything in between which is very much worthed!

1. Enoshima Area

 

Firstly, I roamed around Enoshima area. In this anime, most of time Enoshima and Yuigahama beach can be found during dating scenes. As I said before, I also collected these photos together for "Just Because!" which you find in the other post.

Not sure if this is the exact same place but still quite similar (maybe beside the dock?)

Same docks in real life. Not very clear, but can you spot Mt. Fuji?

2. Shichirigahama Station & Shichirigahama High School

Next, I take the Enoden train and go to Shichirigahama station, which I think most of the events were using this surrounding as background. We can also find Sakuta's high school within the vicinity.

3. Shichirigahama Beach

Not far from the station area, just follow the direction towards the sea and we can find the Shichirigahama beach. Many important scenes were taken here in the anime.

3. Kanazawa Station Area

For this one, I only used my picture when I was travelling for Hanasaku Iroha. I put these photos here after I realized that they also have these scenes. (Good thing is that I took these photos during winter)

4. Ogaki Station Area

More unintended Aobuta photos, but I can't believe Sakuta's endeavor also includes Ogaki, so I will also these photos. (Ogaki will be shown in Silent Voice ).
