What's Really cool about this is this school was supposed to be demolished. But it was prevented due to suudden influx of fans visiting the school. and now it's in the process of becoming one of Japan's heritage list.

i can really see myself having tears of joy while walking there 🥺

I didn’t know there was a gift-shop and a museum filled with K-on merchandise! Now I’m even more determined to visit the school. K-on forever ! ❤️

I miss K-on so much... You will forever be in our hearts Kyoto Animation :(

I know I sound weird for saying this but... am I the only one who cried of happy tears?

I knew the school was modeled after a real place, but I never would have guessed you could actually go in, let alone an entire gift shop. Super cool! I wish to go there one day. I’m so sad about what happened at kyo ani. I wish for happiness and good luck for anyone related to it.

In a perfect universe the K-On! girls are real...

I literally cried, I missed k-on so muchh

I was very fortunate to ever visit this school about 9 years ago when I was in Kyoto. I even had to endure moderate rains, taking 3 train rides from my hotel to Toyosato, alone. But upon riding there, it was all worth it. The nostalgia of stepping into the clubroom, the auditorium & the museum, through the school hallways. It made me appreciate & love K-ON! more.

This is really cool. I didn't know that it was modeled after a real place. Great video! :)

K-on has such a special place in my heart

When this lockdown is over, this is the first place that I will go. Been planning to go to Japan for some time, and now this is one of the must-visit places on my list

I remember 10 years ago just a few people knew about this anime but now still the fandom... and it’s fucking amazing :’3

Man I wish I could visit it one day, I'd definitely buy one of those guitars lol

2:26, Ahh this is where they ran the marathon!

i dont know what happened. The moment you walked into their club room , my tears...

Just binged watched all of K-on for the first time! I hate myself for not watching it all those years ago. Can't wait to visit this place once international travelling is back!

The day I'll visit this place I don't know if I will contain my tears

i love this

4:51 I smell electric guitarsssss!

Now this is why I want to go to Japan. I always loved K-ON! and just want to spend all my money in the gift shop while visiting the school. Just need to age up to be able to fly there.

KZfaq algorithm lead me to the right content. TQ. K-On forever!!

I kind of wish the rest of the world had schools like this. Also this is my favourite video on youtube now. Thanks K-On for giving us an unforgettable high school life.

Incredible. K-on is my all time favorite anime i def gotta go here someday and get some merch

This was soo amazing! I never knew this place really existed and now need to visit eventually, you really made my year

I can't believe they have the original 1980s gen 1 endorsed by Rick Marotta and Dave Weckl mellow yellow YAMAHA Hipgig nesting drum kit!! (The Ritsu drumset) Very rare to see them nowadays

amazing video, loved the comparison between real life and anime shots. When I visit Japan someday this is the first place I will go to

Your channel is very underrated, I hope you gain a massive influx of subs because you make great content!

I got to check it out a couple weeks ago on my Japan trip. I was super excited. They had the auditorium closed at the time though but really good vibes from the people around the area and the building. The vid helped remind me about giving it a visit

I am hoping i wont be broke in the future so i can go here 😭, anyways this video was so good man, made me feel like i was there with you guys 🙏 thank you for sharing this ❤️

idk why but i started tearing up from this

i would definitely go to the K-ON! school since i LOVE that anime. seeing Mugi play the piano motivated me to play it myself. Also random fact: K-ON! has its own game called "K-On! Houkago Live!!" which is a fun little Rhythm game thats only available in Japan i believe Cool video man, keep it up, might just go there in the future if i can.

Before the Kyoto Animation Tragedy...I was dreaming to go to Japan someday and see what is Kyoto Animation looks like in person...but when I heard the news about the tragedy...I kinda lose hope that I will able to see Kyoto Animation Crews that made some of my favorite Anime...

That's super cool, and the way they modeled the school in the anime is spot on! On a side note, I always wondered how diabetic those girls got from all the tea and desserts they've been consuming in the music room (and given that they seemed to prioritize their sweets over practicing).

just started watching k-on series and already in love with it. now i'm crying over this video

"body pillow" yes sir, i want buy all Mugi body pillow

Woahh this video is so well made! The quality is insane! You earn my sub!

Your channel need more subs because your contents are epic ^^

Soon I shall make my pilgrimage to this location! I didn't know there was a museum and gift shop too! I'm very excited to visit this place.

Just found your channel but well, I now am addicted to your videos lol

If I ever get to go to japan, this is gonna be near the top of the list of places to go. Simply seeing this school in a video is making me tear up for some reason, I can only imagine what would happen if I went there myself

When i need some energy or down.. i just watch a few episodes of this anime and it powers me up… so mucj positivity.. glad you can share the actial location the show was based on..

Amazing love your videos

It's beautiful... I'm having tears of joy rn. I hope it's still open when I visit Japan or else I'm gonna cry myself for months

Before the pandemic I was traveling around Japan for a month. I was cursing myself a lot when I realized that I've been in Kyoto for a week and enjoyed myself immensely, so I totally forgot to visit KyoAni studio and make the side trip to Toyosato even though I knew about them before my trip and planned to go there but then... Poof! My mind went blank and I totally forgot about those places and just continued my trip south and remembered it to late. 😭 Now tragically the studio is gone but I can still go to Toyosato on my next trip to Japan. 😁 Good video guys!

I search for a silver but i found a gold. I just want to say thank you for youtube to bring my search to here. Although i want to search about what happen to k-on band, but instead give me the answer, youtube bring me here. I dont know who you are, im new here, all i know is u are LEGEND and i want to say huge thank you to you to give me a short POV how it feel to go that school. You got new subs and you deserve a hit on bell. Thank you so much, it bring much memory about this anime. Thank you

When they went in the club room I started playing fluffy time on my drums

​ @Kinda Neet Thanks for taking us with you on this journey. Well done for showcasing this "pilgrimage" to one of the most fun slices of life shows. FYI, they were initially going to demolish the school building, but the local community banded together to preserve it. There's an interesting history behind the building too - the architect was American and became a naturalised Japanese citizen just before WW2 broke out. The bronze statue is a local wealthy businessman who donated the building. What's really hilarious is that his statue was the subject to some pretty funny scene transitions in the show with them dressing him up, although there's very little background as to whether that happened in real life. Note the "Tobidashi boya" (jumping boy sign that's common near schools around Shiga) that we see just before you enter the school at @3:20 has something unique to Toyosato - they actually use characters from the series instead of the generic cartoon boy in some parts of the town.

epic, just epic and thanks for the video, real thanks.

Ore wa susumi tsudzukeru ❤️ Very nice video, I felt myself tearing up

Reaaaaallly good content, thank you!! You made me almost cry, especially when you get in the club room.. i am wondering about how much was the guitars??? If i go there someday i wannna buy one

I have no words, this is aamazing video about my favorite anime. i have to visit here in a few years.

Great video!

This was so great and sad at the same time, when you finally entered the school and showed the Light music club and it looks exactly the same! Except it feels like the HTT members is just gone, just dissapeared, its like the feeling after watching K-On, its making me cry ;; am i the only one who feels like this?, Id just imagine them drinking tea right there and all the other students roaming and music playing :'(( but BESIDES THAT I love this video!! Youre way too underrated, I'd love to visit Sakuragaoka irl, Thank you for making this vid!! ^^

As of right now you have LESS THAN 9K VIEWS? Please, have my sub.

i didn't know this school existed. 😭wow i cried, i miss k on so much. it'll always be my favourite comfort show ♥️

wait, the school stills works as a school or now it just works like a ''k-on museum'' or what? also your channel is awesome, keep up with the content, +1 subscriber

even I see it right now I feel so happy to see that I can't stop crying dude.

oh man. i would definitely go there the next time i visit Japan. so amazing how everything is accurate

I wish I went to this school and joined the music club

This is wonderful! I hope one day I can go there. K-ON forever!

i'm a big htt fan and k-on! was the first anime i ever watched so i'm definetly going to put this on my bucket list.

I am putting this place on my bucket list

Gracias por tu video realmente me ha emocionado gracias nuevamente

Subbed because I love anime, also K-on! As my profile picture says

Nice video!　I live near this K-On! School

I cried when I finished k on

So cool

Oh my gosh!! So cool!

I bought a keychain of the rabbit and turtle from the small gift shop, it’s on my car keys so i feel and see it everyday. :-) Yes, Toyosato is pretty remote (for anybody interested it’s just west of Hikone (famous for it’s castle) on the southern side of lake Biwa) but definitely worth the visit as a anime fan in general and a must as a KyoAni fan.

this is so fire

That's awesome!

man this video make me cry I remember the first time I watched k on, and now im nostalgic

4:43 Wait, you mean the same models of instruments or the ACTUAL instruments that were used in the recordings? 'Cause if it's the second one, I'm gonna have to expand my bucket list

Es el sueño de todo otaku fan de k-on! Eres lo máximo. Gracias por compartir este video

SS weeb haha it must be amazing seeing this school in person so envious of you guys i have only watched videos and as a fan its obviously the destination to go, i actually like the countryside more than the big cities too. Cheers guys thank you for the videos.

dear god. this place looks incredible.

DAMN I WANNA GO THERE, ASAP!!! 😣💕

cant believe they made a school based on k-on

why am i crying

This is so cool

This is the main reason I want to go to Japan

We need s3

I just finished all the episodes but when I’m old enough I will go there

You so underrated

imagine how cool it would be to go to that school

"And even the instrument" now that is tempting I thought if I ever visited Japan the only guitar I would think about getting would be a MJ series Jackson

I would cry in the club room

Nice video! i really want to visit the school museum some day I'm a big fan of k-on! Question what is your opinion on k-on shuffle? Do u think it could receive an anime adaptation?

7:30 I almost thought that it was Sawa Sensei's heavy metal sound recording 🤣

Guys i made a comment earlier this year and i am actually here right now! I wanted to warn people that it is open 9-5pm and not open on mondays! Also this Monday was a holiday so that means Tuesday is closed. Just wanted to let everyone who reads this know! I’m going to come back tomorrow 😊 wish anyone reading this the best 🙏

I’m going to go hopefully this summer in July im just so excited. If anyone is going I’ll be wearing orange crocs and a black hoodie I watched this show when i was graduating high school too it hit so hard

I'm screaming right now

My brain just went back nostalgia and remembered the good old days before the dark times before the tragedy

@Kinda Neet, I finally got to visit Japan last year, and man, do I have a story to tell you. When I visited the school, it was on a Monday, and I had gotten off at the wrong train station, some 50 or so kilometers outside of where I needed to be. So I decided to take a cab there, and when we were heading there, the cab driver had to take a piss while leaving the meter running. I kid you not, and when I finally arrived, the place was closed... The next day I got there, and it was open, thank God. But it was a little underwhelming; there wasn't a lot of K-On! items; in fact, the bakery I passed by the day before to take a train back to my city had more K-On! items on display. haha... but it is what it is, and I can at least say I got to visit the landmark. (I also sent you an email, have a look if you want.)

I'm crying just by watching this video God i miss them so much

Cool!

Sure looks like it will make a great experience! I’ll visit it in let’s see... 4-5 years 😂 Yeah I have tons of stuff in life that slow me down a hell lot

omg i didnt know this place exists i definitely have to visit as a huge k on fan

Although I am not the graduate of this school, But every place look so familiar. Shout out to u, bro.
