Free! the Final Stroke - Budapest pilgrimage part 1
After being in love with Free! for 10 years now and visiting Iwami 3x already (soon it will be the 4th time) - you cannot imagine how surreal it felt when I heard about the Budapest part when the movie was released last year. Thanks to @fencer-xā€‹ who confirmed many details and directed me to Japanese Twitter users (39_Free and Ladyoscar_1990) who actually found the exact location of the HaruRin train crossing and the little shop where Rin met Ai - I could visit the places quite quickly, living in Budapest myself. This particular post focuses on Makotoā€™s parts - Keleti Railway Station (I pass it 2x a day on my way to work and back), the Fishermanā€™s Bastion in the Castle district, the No 41 tram (they donā€™t use the same type of vehicle on that line anymore, so I went to DeĆ”k square to take photos of the type shown in the movie), the lower quay on the Buda side, the Chain bridge from the Pest side (itā€™s still under renovation and probably the red bench where Makoto and Haru sits and talks wonā€™t be there after the reveal...) and last but not least the Parliament (photo take from the Castle district). Anyone who needs exact locations and addresses, just send me a DM!
I was super lucky with the weather - could take almost the exact same shots as were shown in the movie.

The Complete Escaflowne Pilgrimage
Why am I posting a random train video? Well, you gotta wait for it... Today, Escaflowne is older than its number of episodes for the first time. Happy anniversary! I thought Iā€™d finally post this thing that is so overdue, you wouldnā€™t believe. Thanks @coverteyes for proofreading once again, I would likely not get this out anytime soon without her help!
Warning: this is very long and image-heavy under the cut. Preview:
Tumblr media
As you may know, I lived in Japan for some time a few years back. Obviously, I had a great time. There are so many things to see, to try... even one year didnā€™t feel like it was enough! Of course, this sentiment is shared by a gorillion of other people, so yeah, tourism in Japan thrives... unless thereā€™s a pandemic going on. (Man, I really had no idea what would happenā€¦ I started writing this after I got back from Japan, right before 2020).
In any case, what has been gaining popularity in recent years are the anime tours, covering the spots featured in popular titles. The anime makers often reference real places in their work, one of the reasons I was surprised to see that real Japan looks very much like anime Japan. Add the sense of detail that they possess, and you get a very faithful rendition of the atmosphere you get in existing places, in Japanese cities and countryside, in trains, in schools etc. Of course, die-hard fans easily spot the places, and something as mundane as a random staircase or a zebra crossing becomes a ā€œmonumentā€ worth visiting!I am always behind on new anime, and my thing is fantasy and sci-fi rather than slice of life, so I probably passed some of these places unknowingly. Anyway, itā€™s no secret that I have a soft spot for my fav anime titles from my teenage years, especially Tenkuu no Escaflowne. It takes place mostly in the alternate world of Gaea, but the main heroine, Kanzaki Hitomi, goes to school (lives?) in a town inspired by Kamakura, Japan. Well duh, her school is even named Kamakura Kita. But there are also differences, more on that later.
Tumblr media
Since there are only a few existing places from Escaflowne you can easily find, I decided to get all of them. Starting, of course, from Kamakura. The first two visits to the city were not done for that purpose, but I still managed to capture some familiar views. On the third, I planned to catch everything I still missed.Ā 
What really helped me was the map and the comic published in The Vision of Escaflowne Fanbook back in 1997, only about one year after the series aired. The whole book was put together by Escaflowne fans. The map was created by two fans who went on a quest to search for the spots and then drew a small comic about their adventures. Thank you, Yufuko-san and Izumi-san, you helped me a lot there!
So the tour is done by Senoo Yufuko, who introduced herself as ā€œa part time housewifeā€ and Izumi, the ā€œguideā€ and ā€œEscamakuramasterā€. Funny thing is I googled a person called Senoo Yufuko and found out she's a fantasy novelist. What was more interesting was that her website is called Usagiyaā€¦as in, usagi, or rabbit. Like the rabbit in the comic about the Kamakura stroll. From her website I opened her twitter, and then I had a revelation with the first look at her twitter profile pic. HOLY ... it was her! This Japanese fantasy novelist, who is the age of my dad, made a fan pilgrimage to Kamakura in 1997, and she is still active! She did this tour with her one year old in a stroller, who would be... the age of the series itself now! This was somehow very heartwarming for me. Anyway, on with the report!
Tumblr media
I didnā€™t bring the Fanbook itself to Japan but fortunately I had it scanned. So I stopped at the nearest conbini (convenience store) and printed out the pages. Armed with those, the camera, the series screencaps saved on my phone, and some rations, I embarked on a third journey to cover everything I missed the first two times. My theory was, if the scenery was supposed to be based on real Kamakura, in the 90s analog age, they had to use photos as references. And if there were photos used for the scenes, they can be taken again from the same spot! So I tried to capture as many as I could.
How to get there (and around)
I mentioned this elsewhere, Kamakura is an old, coastal town south of Tokyo with many sights and popular beaches. To get there, you hop on the Yokosuka line for Zushi in Tokyoā€“the trip costs only a few hundred yen (or a few bucks)ā€“ and before you know it, youā€™re there.
Tumblr media
First thing you will certainly pass if you take a train is the Kamakura Kita or Kamakura North station (named the same as Hitomiā€™s school). This station is also referenced in one of Escaflowne episodes, more on that later. Anyway, it is worth getting off the train there for other reasons, too, as there are several pretty temples and gardens in the area.
The following train stop is already the main station of Kamakura itself. You may feel surprised at how many tourists circle the station, but then, it is a really popular getaway from Tokyo. I read somewhere that many foreign fans come to Kamakura because of Slam Dunk, a popular basketball manga. Many more come to Kamakura because of Kamakura. I can guarantee that not many come because of Escaflowne, which seems a bit forgotten and obscure by now; I didnā€™t see any references to it during my stay, when some other, more popular, 90s titles came up from time to time.
So, in this case, I was an exception, but I also quickly fell in love with the town so I cannot say the anime was my only motivation in returning there.
In the town itself, you can move around by the Enoden (literal translation of the full name is Enoshima electric train). This cute, green antique train is an attraction in itself and connects Kamakura and the neighboring city of Fujisawa. If you make more than two Enoden trips, it is already worth getting a Noriorikun, a one day pass, right away at the station. I also got a souvenir of Enoden from one of the gachapon machines.
Tumblr media
There are plenty of things to do in Kamakura: there is the Great Buddha, historic temples and shrines (used to be the seat of the shogun and a capital), the famed Enoshima aquarium (featured in the Kuragehime jdrama, for example), beaches popular for surfing, windsurfing etc. But if you are crazy, you may wanna try to find some anime sights instead.
So letā€™s finally get to it. The photos are mine, taken mostly with a Fujifilm XT-20 camera.Ā  (Please note that I filtered and adjusted the photos as necessary to get the closest possible result.)Ā 
Starting from the first episodeā€¦.
Hitomiā€™s and Yukariā€™s walk home (EP1)
After Yukari catches Hitomi in a compromising situation with Amano-senpai at the infirmary, they walk home side-by-side. Yukari mock-scolds Hitomi about making a move on him behind her back and teases her into buying her desserts. They descend steep stairs, pass several buildings and then walk into the tunnel where Yukari tells Hitomi about Amanoā€™s imminent departure.
The dessert enumeration happens right in front of this cute little building, now housing a hair salon.
Tumblr media
They also pass this small church that is right across the street.
Tumblr media
You can get to this area by a short walk from the station along Shiyakushodoori (City Hall Street).
As they pass the hair salon first, then the church, they seem to be coming from the other direction, towards the station. After the church and the stairs they get to the tunnel.
I passed two or three tunnels walking this very road, and more can be found around, because the area is quite hilly. I think there are two potential tunnels that could be the one Yukari and Hitomi walk through: Onari tunnel and Shinsasuke tunnel.
Tumblr media
Izumi-san thinks this is the tunnel in question, because it had a fence on top and ā€œnameplateā€ like the one in the anime (the nameplate was changed to just a fenced opening from the production sketch).
Because of the thriving shrubbery, I could not see any fences nor nameplates, but I believe I got the right one. They really tried to replicate this funny tunnel. Itā€™s funny because the opening has a different shape on both sides. The side which Hitomi and Yukari are coming out of is more or less the correct shape though, which is why I think this is the one. Itā€™s in fact the first tunnel you pass on the way from the station.
Tumblr media
On the other hand, during another visit, I got a picture of the perfectly round Shinsasuke tunnel further up the road. This one has a phone booth next to it, like the one in the anime (although the booth is on the wrong side).Ā 
What do you think? Which one is closer? I think it may have been the combination of the two.
Hereā€™s another bonus shot of the inside of the first tunnel:
Tumblr media
Sasuke Inari Taisha / Sasuke Inari Shrine (EP1)
Escaflowne TV kicks off at Hitomiā€™s school called Shiritsu Kamakura Kita Koukou, which is imaginary, sorry. But just across the street from this made-up school, there is a familiar thing... a shrine with red torii gates leading uphill in the woods. The shrine where the dragon follows Hitomi and her friends while Van tries to kill it to obtain its minerals.
Tumblr media
In reality, the entrance to the shrine is not across some street, but rather, a small street leads to the entrance. It is pretty hidden in a residential area, and the torii gates feel way smaller than they seem from the anime (you can see a pic with a certain person as a comparison in the previous post).
Anyway, this red torii-lined pathway is a feature of many other inari taisha (fox shrines) across Japan. My second visit to the shrine, I heard the fox barking, even (and I rushed away cause I was alone haha)! The most famous fox shrine in Japan is probably the Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, with literally thousands of red torii of all sizes and numerous shrines lining the way up the hill. But you can find a similar-looking pathway randomly in Japan!
What makes this the referenced shrine was the main building which looks similar, but not the same. The steps to the side shrine (where Hitomi and co. escape after the dragon follows them up to the main shrine), also look a lot different.
Shibuya 109 (EP 8)
This is the only Tokyo landmark to appear in the series. Hitomi has a dream/vision of a date with Allen and they go to a game center in a department store called ā€œShibiya 1G9ā€³, or something. (The reason behind the mangled name is probably trademark use/advertising reasons.)
Tumblr media
Ta da.Ā  Allen and Hitomi have lots of fun, until Millerna arrives and snatches him off with her carriage. Then her dream and the building collapses, in a recurring motif of a falling tower.
Tumblr media
It took me one visit to Shibuya 109 to see why the creators would choose it. This is heaven for teenage girls, especially. Donā€™t know about the 90s, but now it houses covering all kinds of scene brands, Korean cosmetics, and ultra kawaii and hip fast food stalls. I saw many teenagers around, just hanging out. It seemed like a place definitely on their map. It may have been remodelled since the series aired, but it seems to still remain a sacred hip place for teens.
Tumblr media
Hitomi is not from Tokyo, but I guess she would be allowed to visit with friends over the weekends and such. Itā€™s only a half-hour train ride. The Allen date is also something very Japanese. I lost count how many times I have seen couples hand-in-hand in and around shopping centers, with the girl holding a huge bagged plush toy the boy likely won for her from one of those machines. So of course she would imagine this as an ideal date!
Kamakura Kita Eki / Kamakura North Station (EP 16)
I mentioned this station earlier in this post. Kamakura Kita Eki on the line to Tokyo is shown in episode 16, when Hitomiā€™s mother invites Yukari and Amano to show them a picture of Hitomiā€™s grandma and tell them her story.
Tumblr media
We are not shown the actual house from a distance, just a bamboo fence and a shot of the patio. I found bamboo fences, but not in the right shape of the streetā€¦ but this kind of looks similar, if you use your imagination and see a bamboo fence instead (as this probably was many years ago). Really, this is just for effect, you can catch similar scenes anywhere in Japan, and probably even a closer match than this. But the atmosphere of the place was similar, as it seems a more traditional area of the town altogether.
Tumblr media
Hitomiā€™s walk back (EP 24)Ā 
Have you noticed that Hitomiā€™s walk back home has a few extra scenes in Episode 24? There is one with Yukari on the steps that give an aerial view of the bay for example. I could not see any stairs after passing the hair salon, but the anime makes it feel like they should be in the area, so I explored a bit. Found some stairs, but they seemed to be leading to a private property, so I did not try climbing them. Instead, I turned to the Fanbook again.
Izumi-san and Yufuko-san think the stairs are located in another area, and they lead to the Gokurakuji Pass (apparently, it used to lead to the Gokurakuji temple but does not anymore). It was in an area that I was passing through on my way to Fujisawa in the evening, so guess what, I got off the train and I went to look for them even though it was dark already. What do you think?
Tumblr media
You probably canā€™t see anything. But I think itā€™s possible a view like you see in the anime would open somewhere further up those steps and that path.
However, there was a closed gate so I could not climb them higher. I don't know if it was permanent or if it was closed because it was so late. But you know what, I take it as a sign to return next time and explore that area. It was the same with Mt. Fuji, we planned a trip but the weather prevented us from seeing the summit. So I still have the dream to climb Mt. Fuji one day!
Instead of the view we got from the stairs in the anime, I present to you another high view of Kamakura, this one from my Hasedera Temple visit. The actual photo I took is in the previous post, I used a sepia filter for this.
Tumblr media
The final stop of my day trip was Fujisawa, from where I caught a direct train back to Tokyo. Izumi-san and Yufuko-san said that the area in front of the Fujisawa station looked like the one Hitomi wandered around when she got back from Gaea shortly in ep 24. These scenes are not present in ep 1, so it makes me wonder if she walked around the city that night after her tunnel talk to Yukari in ep 1, too, or if it was induced by the new discoveries about Yukari, Amano, and herself. But she seems to be home around the same time (ā€œHitomi, bath is ready!ā€) so could be the first option.
By the way, Hitomiā€™s house, as seen in the anime, fits the architecture of the area. I saw some similar houses but did not want to take photos of private property.
Back to Fujisawa, here are the stairs that looked a bit familiar, with a box advert in the back. (Unfortunately, there was some construction work going on though.) What do you think?
Tumblr media
Streetview actually offers some better shots than I could make at the time (for the purpose of identification at least) and I think it actually confirms that this indeed is the model place when you look at the buildings.
The only other shot from this part was a crosswalk that could be anywhere, so I did not bother with it.
Kamakura Koukou Mae Eki / Kamakura High School Station (EP 26)
On my way to Fujisawa, I also shortly got off at Koukou Mae again (the station from the final scene of the anime, to be handled next) to capture the night Enoden in a similar way as when Hitomi rides it on the way home in episode 24. Mission failed.Ā 
Tumblr media
But what I noticed is that the whole station seems to be flipped around for this scene of the anime! I was wondering why Hitomi was riding the Enoden to Fujisawa in the opposite direction than the actual train does, but that explained it. It was all flipped!Ā 
Anyway, back to Koukou Mae Eki. It is allegedly one of the most beautiful stations in Japan and a famous spot for the Slam Dunk fans as well. The Enoden line station itself is rather small, basically just a shelter, which was left unchanged. Also unchanged is the view of Enoshima island from that station, even though you would notice that the proportions are a bit off.Ā 
Tumblr media
What is missing are the concrete tetrapods, even though they are nothing special on other stations on the line. Of course, they could have also been moved or removed over the years.
But even Yufuko-san and Izumi-san recommended going to the Koshigoe station to see the tetrapods, so I believe they were not here even in the 90s. I followed their recommendations and saw some behind a structure there. So they combined the view of the island and the tetrapods from the surrounding areas into one.
Tumblr media
Also, what needs to be said is that the anime station building is not exactly the same as Koukou Mae Eki. The Fanbook says the design of the station was similar to the next Enoden station on the line called Hase on the photo below. Please compare and contrast.
Tumblr media
As we see in ep 26, the back of the station is open, with some empty area behind the Koukou Mae station. This is not the case in the actual place. The back of the station is covered (though this could have been changed more recently to force people through the ticket turnstile) and right behind the station is a slope with a cemetery on it. That was a really strange discovery.
So thatā€™s it, thatā€™s all I managed to find! I had a mind to create a detailed map or something but you know what, if you ever get to Kamakura, probably itā€™s more fun discovering the stuff yourself. Maybe you can even catch something that I missed? I had more plans there, but with my luck I hurt my foot soon into my last trip. That, of course, slowed me down considerably. Well, see you next time then, Kamakura, and as you see, I have my eyes set on Enoshima already!
Tumblr media
P. S. I may make a part 2 to this post, translating the map and the comic from the Fanbook, so keep an eye on that if this is of interest to you or would like to visit yourself!

Shimokitazawa, Tokyo
itā€™s become the norm for me to explore real life places that have been featured in popular media. not surprisingly, i made my way to Shimokitazawa - a little neighborhood made popular by the anime series ā€œBocchi the Rockā€. made my way there early one Saturday morning and spent a few hours wandering the streets looking for the spots featured in the show. the more prominent spots werenā€™t all that difficult to locate, mostly devoid of people save for the gigantic street mural located in a parking spot which seemed to be a popular spot for photoshoots. another iconic spot, the real lifeĀ ā€œShelterā€ live house where a bulk of the show happens, was mostly cordoned off due to the live house crew prepping for a show later in the day. alas, i wasnā€™t able to take a proper shot of the live house entrance, but i suppose a photo of the live houseā€™s sign would suffice.
Shimokitazawa is said to be the hub for second hand vintage fashion goods, as evidenced by the rows and rows of vintage fashion stores. as most people would attest, this is one of the most hip neighborhoods in Tokyo, and youā€™d be hard pressed not to encounter some really hip looking young people making their way to vintage second hand stores and quaint cafes on a sunny Saturday afternoon. asides from feeling like an old man among the tragically young and hip, i had a nice time strolling the neighborhood perusing the vintage second hand stores as well as browsing through some of the many record stores. iā€™m willing to bet that this place gets pretty lively in the evening, something i wasnā€™t able to experience. however, i was content with completing yet another anime pilgrimage, and while i didnā€™t pick anything up, i did manage to slurp down a delicious bowl of ramen from a random ramen stall. a good morning out in Shimokitazawa, indeed!

Straight outta Japan~šŸŒø (pt. 3)
This is the third and final part of my weeb adventures in Japan!Ā 
DIVER CITY MALL UNICORN GUNDAM STATUE
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My cousin is a huge gundam fan so we had to add this giant statue in our itinerary! Itā€™s located in front of the Diver City mall and is around a 10 minute walk from the Tokyo Teleport station!
We also went to Mandarake cause he wants to buy some gundam (gunpla) and a lightsaber! I didnā€™t go with him since the toy section is on the 7th and 8th floor and thereā€™s no elevator!! At this point my feet are dead already with our average 20k daily steps during our Japan trip, my feet canā€™t handle more lol!
So you really only go there if youā€™re determine to buy something!Ā āœ§ ā”€=ā‰”Ī£((( 恤ā€¢Ģ€Ļ‰ā€¢Ģ)恤
OMOIDE YOKOCHO KFCĀ 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was the infamous place where Satoru and Suguru broke up! Right in front of KFC in Omoide Yokocho aka Memory Lane!! As a JJK fan, I just have to go there! Itā€™s pretty easy to spot as well and just a few minute walk from the Shinjuku-Nishigchi station.Ā 
Of course, I also ordered some food from both stores to show some support since I did took pictures in front of it o(ā‰§āˆ‡ā‰¦o)
These streets is also a pretty famous tourist destination regardless of the JJK connection, it has a lot of small food stores inside the narrow streets and they all taste delicious and theyā€™re quite affordable!Ā 
YOUR NAME
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We did a bit of an anime pilgrimage for Your Name since my cousinā€™s girlfriend is a huge fan! I didnā€™t take a lot of pictures though since Iā€™m not really much of a fan but I figured I at least have to take pictures of the infamous staircase!
Itā€™s a bit further from the Yotsuya-Sanchome station, around 10-15 minute walk depending on how fast you go!Ā 
I still have more photos of my trip but itā€™s more of temples, food, and gardens but for now this is all Iā€™m gonna share here on Tumblr!!

Free! the Final Stroke - Budapest pilgrimage part 3
After being in love with Free! for 10 years now and visiting Iwami 3x already (soon it will be the 4th time) - you cannot imagine how surreal it felt when heard about the Budapest part when the movie was released last year. Thanks to @fencer-xā€‹ who confirmed many details and directed me to Japanese Twitter users (39_Free and Ladyoscar_1990) who actually found the exact location of the HaruRin train crossing and the little shop where Rin met Ai - I could visit the places quite quickly, living in Budapest myself. This particular post focuses on Rinā€™s and Haruā€™s breathtaking meeting at the railway crossing. Which is in actually the very same district I live! ƚjpest/4th district bordering 15th district. KyoAni again went into insane details - it is at the final stop of bus 20E and near the tram line 14 at a stop called ƓceĆ”nĆ”rok - a name containing the word ā€˜oceanā€™ in a country without any sea... And thereā€™s a stream (Szilas-patak) and a swimming pool near this location - sounds like a very Haru-thing. Iā€™ve been to this spot many times ever since - just as I said, it is so surreal that after visiting the other side of the world 3x to see the real location of Iwatobi, I get to live near a site that has actually became part of the Free! universe.
Anyone who needs exact locations and addresses, just send me a DM!

Tigran: launching into a story about a time when he was 7 and watched a guy get eaten alive by dogs, completely unprompted and unnervingly blasƩ about the whole thing.
Etsushir: not listening, warming his hands over the nightly allotment of yams, smoking.
Palo: this is the tenth time he's heard this story, not listening, wondering whether Etsushir is smoking tobacco and where the hell he got it and can he have some?
#Lore:#Tigran has kind of a psychological fixation on people being eaten by dogs. Which is rooted in childhood trauma but it's hard#to tell because he loves dogs and always seems weirdly enthused by the whole concept.#More lore:#They're cooking on a dry dung fire which is very common in the region in general- largely grassland and savannah. Most of the#formerly wooded areas are deforested both on a long scale due to the drying climate and on a short scale of human use.#Wood is a valuable commodity and grown in agricultural regions and harvested with coppicing or otherwise imported by sea.#The northeast has an intact forest that hasn't been widely exploited due to distance from urban centers and impracticality of#transport over land and that's pretty much it.#The Highlands also retain woodlands within the interior but the formerly surrounding forests have been heavily exploited#(due to proximity to major rivers) and were fully wiped out within the past century.#The fact that cremation is the default and expected funerary practice and also used in most sacrificial offerings heavily#contributes (cattle and khait dung is allowable for these purposes due to the animals' sacred status but not considered preferable).#(associated with lower class funerals)#Anyway bottom line dry dung is going to be what the majority of people use for everyday fuel needs and also what pretty#much everyone on the pilgrimage is using (which the wealthier members are unaccommodated to but these guys are)#etsushir#tigran otto#palo apolynnon#the white calf
