ゆるキャン△ Vol. 14 🏕

Alrighty, been a while. I’ve actually already linked a couple of places they mentioned in this chapter (because Nadeshiko and Sakura went there last volume), but considering how long it’s been, maybe I’ll link them again…

In any case, the Kagamiharas and Rin start at Jiunji, which is about a ten-minute drive from where we last saw them last. The sakura tree they’re admiring is in the first photo of the place, at least when I’m looking at it now. Not completely sure why the name amuses Nadeshiko so much.

The cafe they head to afterwards is all the way back down here agan - the purin is real, though. The places mentioned in passing on page 9 are Tonegawa Park (rather than Nagasawa Park in panel 1), and Nirasaki Central Park (rather than Fujii Park in panel 4).

Been trying to find either an official site or a well-illustrated blog post about the Oigatayaki which features prominently for the remainder of the chapter, but I’m not getting much from Google. I did find this, though.

On page 12, they’re here. The feuding temples mentioned on page 13 are Daizenji and Chokukuji (don’t believe Google’s version of the name - the Japanese Wikipedia confirms that it’s Chokokuji… though it is written with the same kanji as Kanagawa’s Hasedera). Then there’s Yamanashioka Shrine, and I feel like I brought this place up last volume when I was trying to work out the meaning of the torii on the hill. So there you go. Here is the actual Toriiyaki.

Google’s telling me the 大文字焼 Rin mentions on page 20 is here, but the only photo on Google Maps is of the Oigayayaki. You can juuuust make it out on satellite view, though. The place where they stop on page 24 Yatsushiro Furusato Park.

The omake page mentions Oshino Hakkai… and I feel like this place has come up before. Not completely sure of the precise location of the 八文字焼.


Page 12, is the box Ginko carries around with him in Mushishi an 笈, or is that something different?
