Kyoukai no Kanata 2013, Nara Kintetsu Kyoto Line 2015
Did a few sporadic KyoKana location hunts on the Kitetsu-Nara line, including
the Heijou Daini Shopping Center
(平城第2ショッピングセンター
),
Yamato-Saidaiji Station (大和西大寺駅) and
Kashiharajingū-mae Station (橿原神宮前駅).
Part of me wish I had done
Heijou Daini neighbourhood sooner, since it feels like the old-school “shopping center” has seen livelier days. The hype of the anime has died down considerably, so the area is back to being peaceful and somewhat non-eventful. More noticeably, only the pizza store and a barber store were open that day. (I think the bento store has probably
shuttered). A revival of this sleepy neighbourhood feels unlikely - there’s a new mega shopping mall being built in the
vicinity just outside the main train station (Heijou Daini required a little hike further and some faith in Google maps to get there, so).
Neighbourhoods like these remind me of how much of an old soul I am, but move with the times we must, we must.
