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 :frowning: 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 :slight_smile: 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… :naze:

Wow, what an article… :yahaha:

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.

Not sure if this was ever posted here, apologies if I missed it somewhere, link to comparison pics

’Locations of Kanon in the anime - The Infinite Zenith’

Contrasting some of the other Key works I’ve documented here, the events of Kanon happen at an unspecified location, and hunting around online have been rather fruitless, even in the KyoAni reincarnation of the anime. With that in mind, based on KyoAni’s modus operandi, it’s likely that location was inspired by a locale in the Kyoto region.
