Were you expecting something else?

And no, it'll never be rebuilt. There's a car museum in Gunma where you can still see the storefront though, plus an 86 replica parked in front of it. |

For more info, I'd recommend reading Noriyaro's article: http://noriyaro.com/2010/09/tofu-no-more-t...u-ten-location/ If you ever go to Shibukawa / Ikaho, you can still see lots of the scenery and locations appearing on the original manga/anime, like the Shibukawa JR train station, the gas station where the main characters work, the Ikaho stone steps and the shrine, and of course the infamous Mt. Akina (Mt. Haruna), the lake and vending machines, etc. I'd recommend this trip to any true Initial D fan. Also, you can experience one of the best onsen areas in Japan Man, so many feels after writting this. This post has been edited by sprinter_tsuchiya on Jul 4 2017, 05:26 PM |
