In front of Gamers

Janpara Akihabara 5th store


Next, I will introduce the second one.Akihabara idol shopLocated just a short distance fromJanpara Akihabara 5th store!
In the anime, the sign for the black magic shop "Fallen Angel" that Yoshiko found was located right behind the Janpara sign, but it seems that it is not actually there.
A bit disappointing...

Akihabara Station South Exit


You may be thinking, "Now is the time to come here?"Akihabara Station Electric Town South ExitIt is!
In episode 7, the six members of Aqours arrive in Tokyo for their live performance, and flyers fly towards Akihabara Station!

The starting point and the pinnacle! The south exit is always exciting!

4 sacred places featured in both shows

Akihabara UDX


From here on, we will introduce the holy sites that appear in both!
The first is an elite school in the north exit of Akihabara Station's Electric Town, where the top school idols A-RISE attend in the anime.UTX GakuenIt also became a model forAkihabara UDX!
I like how Love Live shows respect for the sacred places by even using the names even just a little! lol

Myojin Otokozaka

Next is the stairs on the east side of Kanda Myojin Shrine.Myojin OtokozakaThis place has appeared many times, so it's no exaggeration to say that it's a familiar place for Love Livers!
In the anime, the idols would run up these stairs every day to build up their basic physical strength for their activities!

Address: 2-7-4 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-0021

Kanda Akijin



This is the shrine where Nozomi worked as a shrine maiden in "Love Live!"

Shohei Bridge



The endShohei BridgeThis one has a particularly strong image of appearing in the second season of "Love Live!"
I still remember it being used in a variety of situations!
I wish there was a bridge like this in my hometown where I could relax...

Address: 1-1 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-0021

Finally

So, what do you think of the 10 choices I've carefully selected?
There are still many holy sites for "Love Live!" itself, but if I were to introduce them all, it would take away from the fun, so why not go on a pilgrimage to the holy sites and wait until the new season starts?

↓ I sometimes feel like rewatching Love Live.
