• Nishi-Kita Park (Kitaguchi Station Front Park) - This is the iconic park where Haruhi, Kyon, and the SOS Brigade often gathered. Relax on a bench and enjoy the surroundings; you might even catch the echoes of their lively conversations in the air. The excitement, the absurdity, the beginning of something remarkable — it all started here.
• JUNKUDO Nishinomiya - Situated in the heart of Nishinomiya, this expansive bookstore is an ideal starting point for your journey. Inside, there’s a dedicated section for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, filled with books, materials, and displays that draw you into the series’ universe. In Haruhi’s own city, take a moment to immerse yourself in the story before embarking on your adventure.
• Nishinomiya City Library - Kitaguchi Library - This tranquil library is where Kyon and the enigmatic Yuki Nagato spent time together in the novel. You can almost picture her there — quietly absorbed in her books, undisturbed by the world. It’s no longer just a fictional setting; it’s real, right before your eyes. Let your excitement transform into calm reverence, and experience the quiet magic where story and reality merge.
• Café Dream - This charming coffee shop, where the SOS Brigade held many meetings in the anime, is a true destination for fans — and it warmly welcomes anime enthusiasts from across Japan and beyond. Inside, thoughtfully arranged displays dedicated to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya surround you, creating an atmosphere that gently whispers, “they were here.”

With warm lighting, the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the very seats once occupied by Haruhi and her friends, this café becomes more than just a place to rest — it becomes part of the story. Take your time, savor something delicious, and let your thoughts wander through the memories of the series.

And yes — you can even order the very drink that Yuki Nagato once enjoyed: a melon float soda. Why not give it a try? For a moment, you just might feel like you’re quietly sharing time with her.

• Shukugawa Park - Stretching along the banks of the Shukugawa River, this park offers tranquility — with gently flowing water and cherry blossoms that bloom beautifully in spring. But for fans of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, it holds a deeper meaning. This is where, during Haruhi’s “mystery search” activity, Kyon visited with Mikuru Asahina and was entrusted with that secret — a moment cherished by many.

Sit on the bench by the river and listen to the soft sounds of the water. You might find yourself replaying their conversation in your mind, feeling once more that spark of wonder — the blend of ordinary scenery and extraordinary possibility. This quiet park embodies the essence of the series: that the extraordinary can be hiding just beneath the surface of everyday life. Revisit that rush of emotion you felt the first time you watched that scene.

• Shukugawa Station - Seamlessly blending into the charming streets of the area, this station is the gateway to the high school the SOS Brigade members attend. As you stand here, it’s easy to imagine commuting alongside Kyon, just another ordinary day filled with extraordinary potential. The vintage elegance of the Hankyu Line trains and the peaceful platform atmosphere make this place feel quietly magical — a reminder that even the mundane can hold hidden wonders.
• Kōyōen Station - As you step off the train at Kōyōen Station, the atmosphere changes — the unique and extraordinary daily life of Haruhi’s world starts to feel incredibly close. All around you, familiar scenery from the series begins to emerge. And from here begins the infamous “forced mountain climbing” — the steep road to school that Kyon and the others climbed so many times. With every step, recall their conversations, their expressions, and immerse yourself in the heart of the story.
• Nishinomiya Kita High School - At the top of the steep hill stands the high school where much of the SOS Brigade’s story took place. Although it’s still an active school and entry is not allowed, even viewing the exterior is enough to feel its powerful presence. As you listen to the guide, retrace Kyon’s footsteps along the school path and imagine Haruhi suddenly declaring something outrageous in front of the gates. This is your moment to truly feel what it’s like to be in the story’s world.
