** ''[http://infinitemirai.wordpress.com/2012/04/27/nishinomiya-hyogo-home-of-the-melancholy-of-suzumiya-haruhi/ The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]'' became infamous for this.
*** Nagaru Tanigawa made their work much easier in this case, lovingly describing the various locations in his hometown of Nishinomiya (even if he never named it explicitly), where the novels take place, in great detail. KyoAni people only needed to make a weekend visit to take pictures—it's about one hour from Kyoto by train.

*** Done in two ways. The unnamed city is [http://infinitemirai.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/k-on-map.jpg based on Kyoto], but since it's explicitly '''not''' Kyoto (they later visit Kyoto in a [[Class Trip]]), no famous landmarks are shown. The school's interior and exterior are the [http://infinitemirai.wordpress.com/2012/05/19/toyosato-high-school-home-of-k-on/ Toyosato Elementary school]{{Dead link}}, which is located in the small town of Toyosato (50 km from Kyoto).
** As mentioned at the top, ''[[Lucky Star]]''
* ''[[Beck]]'' does this a lot during their tour of America. And seems to have [[Shown Their Work]].
Line 62:
* ''[[Hanasaku Iroha]]'' is set in a town modelled after Yukawa. Comparison pictures can be found [http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=300641 here]
* The girls from ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'' live in the town of Hamamatsu, in Japan's Shizuoka prefecture. The artist loves to sneak in references, like maps and local landmarks, although it doesn't get any actual mention until chapter 55.
* Many of the locations in ''[[Yubisaki Milk Tea]]'' are real places in Tokyo, often surprising detailed drawn. A collection of pictures of the real places can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20160313064856/http://natsukan.net/0034yubisakiMilkTea/?id=all here].
* ''[[Yuritetsu]]'' is about four girls which form a railway club and naturally goes by real trains to real stations and sights all over Japan. Their local station Yurigasaki-Joshikoumae is a renamed Hino Station on the Chūō Main Line in Tokyo, but the other places goes by their real names, be it the big Ueno Station in Tokyo or the secluded Koboro on Hokkaido. And since one of the girls, Hakutsuru Tsurumi, is a fan of a serie which is obvious K-on they are also visiting the above mentioned Toyosato Elementary School, which certainly look like Yui & Co could come in any other minute.
* The ''[[All-Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (OAV)|Nuku-Nuku OAV series]]'' explicitly takes place in the Nerima ward of Tokyo, and Nuku-Nuku's fight with Eimi climaxes at a local landmark, a field of massive natural gas storage tanks. (Oddly, this prominent landmark is prominently ''missing'' from ''[[Ranma ½]]'', another series which takes place in Nerima.)
