Takehara is a really nice cityscape. I watched every scenery from anime, so it’s irresistible for fans.
Perhaps even those who haven’t watched anime will feel like they have slipped back in time.
There are many things that made me feel nostalgic, and I have good encounters, so I’m sure it’s a fun town no matter who will come there. I felt that it was a town that would accept anyone.
