Amazing! Some of these places are hard to get to, so I’ve never really seen a pilgrimage of them before. Good work! I wish I could’ve visited them sometime.
Hello everyone!
I have been mapping the location of the places that have been used in Key series. I would like to ask for your help so I can finish it and share it. The map can be very useful for people traveling to Japan and looking for beautiful memories. I was reading the whole topic and I think there is a lot of information to add!
I can not do this alone because it’s a lot of work. I want to see how many interested there are to open the edition of the map. I also thought that adding the map to the topic would be a good idea.
I expect answers, good evening.
PD:The map is in Spanish because it was part of a project that I was doing, as the days pass I will be updating.

I don’t know how in-depth you want your map to be, but you can add in Kasumi station (https://goo.gl/maps/rCRFNPUHfNz) because that gives you access to most of the places from AIR. We could go more in-depth (like give specific locations of specific scenes) if you’d like, since I just came from there a few months ago :michioh:

Can I write to you privately?
I could give you the link so you can edit it.
The map is very deep, I have written almost all the places visible in Motomachi Shopping Street.
The places have the main images of the series (scenes), there are also the actual photos to compare.
Your contributions would be very helpful! :kyogrin:
I think if we all contribute we can do something incredible…
Sure, feel free to send me a PM. I can maybe even add photos!
It is amazing how they can grab scenery from so many cities and seamlessly put them together! Clannad has scenes from 3-4 cities if i remember correctly.

That is seriously awesome shot those guys took. Makes me wonder how long did they leave the camera shutter opened for. I wish there was high resolution version laying around the net.
Btw the link you posted to seichi junrei video is dead end but I found another link from quick google search I think that this is the right video you posted
I’ll probably take a tour to japan sometime this year to visit these sites in my own eyes with my camera and hopefully I dont get lost with my top navigation skills 
Good stuff guys for putting all this together

I recently moved to Sapporo, and while the cooler weather suits me better than the more subtropical areas of Japan, it’s not so great for locations associated with Key or Kyoto Animation since they’re based in Kansai. There’s not much to see north of Tokyo. For that reason, I was pleased to discover that the distinctive park in Rewrite’s Kazamatsuri was based off Ishiyama Open Space just a few miles south of central Sapporo.
Ishiyama Open Space is a former quarry that was converted into a park. The northern half of the park is pretty and relatively conventional, but in the southern half, the remnants of the quarry were transformed into land art by an art group called CINQ. I visited today, and here are the results:
The Kazamatsuri park from Rewrite
The real life park
From other angles you can see the white peaks of the old quarry:
In other areas of the park, it’s easy to see how it accords with the contemporary garden city concept of Kazamatsuri. Parts of the place also remind me of the works of artist Jean-Pierre Ugarte (eg. 1, 2, 3). The way that we see evidence of activity and civilisation juxtaposed with encroaching nature is very beautiful.

I don’t think this has been posted here since it was compiled apparently in 2014. A fan has set up a page with real-life locations for some Clannad scenes.
Also Kanon
and AIR
there are loads more, too many to link them all and other non Key VNs too.

Me and a bunch of other folks from Kaza went to visit the Kanon Shopping Street one time! Although it was a lot less Kanon-like during springtime 
Too bad I wasn’t able to go back during the winter

I have only managed the Kanon meeting place with the bench in Osaka that was in 2006 
Also less Kanon like because it was summer I will have to dig up photos one day.

Some three years later and I… we came across that scene during a short trip to Pampanga as I needed to get a new laptop. I took a picture of that distinct arch using my phone while inside a car, which means that it’s not of good quality, but here it is!
If anyone wants to know what this place is really about, a news article about that episode (spoiler warning!) talked about it briefly, and it’s, uh… uhhhhhhh…

Wow, what an article… 
That place certainly changed from the past 4 years…(?)
(Assuming the photo in the news article was from 4 years ago)

Last December I visited Mizuho town, where Clannad Takes Place!! It was such a nice town, about an hour and a half from Tokyo by train.
