As a big fan of the series, I visited some places myself. Here are the locations I visited:

Chiba

Chiba is the main setting of the series. Here are the locations I visited:

Chiba Station

Chiba Urban Monorail

Chibaminato Station

Chibaminato Station is the closest station to Chiba Port Park with its tower, which appeared in the anime during Yui and Hachimans first date to the fireworks festival. I really want to visit there too, but I haven’t been able to yet.

Inagekaigan Station

Chibashi Takasu Community Center

The rap battle scene that happened here is pretty memorable.

Yui’s Apartment Building

Nakatakahama Park

Sōbu High School

Kaihin Koen-dori

Inage Seaside Park

Inage Beach:

Despite the strong wind there were quite a lot of people on the beach and inside the park on the day I was there.

Walking a little northwest I reached Kemigawa Beach.

I got a strawberry milkshake.

It’s impossible to take a picture from the same angle as the anime because there is a wall in the way.

Inage Sengen Shrine (& Itsukushima Shrine)

Inage Land Bridge

Inage Land Bridge is a overpass on Kaihin Koen-Dori that crosses Route 14/357. Attached to the bottom of this road bridge is a pedestrian bridge where the confession of Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita happened.

Kaihin Makuhari Station

I’ve been to Kaihin Makuhari Station a few times, since it’s the closest station to Makuhari Messe, where I’ve attended multiple events.

Tokyo

Kasai Rinkai Park

Kasai Rinkai Park is the main location in Season 2 Episode 13.
I visited this park before doing the pilgrimage, so I only have pictures I took without reference.

I really enjoyed the park — it’s peaceful and offers a beautiful view of Tokyo Bay. You can also go birdwatching, visit the aquarium, and ride the impressive Ferris wheel. If you have the time, I highly recommend visiting, and I definitely plan to return on my next trip to Tokyo.

Funnily, the aquarium is called Tokyo Sea Life Park in English, but Kasai Rinkai Aquarium in Japanese. So my Japanese friends didn’t know what I was talking about when I told them I went to Tokyo Sea Life Park.

Yokohama

Rinkō Park

The hotel InterContinental Yokohama Grand can be seen in the background of the opening in Season 2 similar to the way it can be seen from Rinkō Park in real life. Rinkō Park is used as a stand-in for Makuhari Seaside Park.

The grass was shorter than in the anime, though.

Kyōto

At the beginning of the second season, Hachiman, Yui, and Yukino go on a school trip to Kyōto. Here are the locations they visit:

Hotel Heian No Mori Kyoto

Tennocho Crossing:

Tenkaippin Sohon-ten

I’m not that big on Ramen, but it was good.

There’s also Tenkaippin Instant Ramen that’s quite good. I bought it a few times at my local Don Quijote.

Ryōan-ji

Arashiyama

I didn’t visit the bamboo forest this time, so I just picked an older picture. You can’t really identify the location accurately anyway.

Kiyomizu-dera

Kyoto Station

Fushimi Inari Taisha

I didn’t take a fitting photo here because I visited before this pilgrimage and was only in Kyoto for one day, this time. So here’s a slightly older image of the outer torii gate.

I didn’t get to visit Toei Kyoto Studio Park as it was closed while I was in Kyōto doing the pilgrimage.

At Mie University, where I was studying, they also sold Georgia MAX COFFEE, the one Hachiman drinks in the series. I drank it a few times. It’s quite sweet, but I liked it.
