Nishinomiya

rdfs:comment

Nishinomiya is a city located in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, between the cities of Ōsaka and Kōbe. On April 1, 2005, the city of Nishinomiya celebrated its 80th anniversary. It is best known as the home of Kōshien Stadium, where the Hanshin Tigers baseball team plays home games and where Japan's annual high school baseball championship is held. It is also the location of Kwansei Gakuin University, a private university founded by American missionaries in the nineteenth century. Nishinomiya is an important commercial and shipping city in the Kansai region with the third largest population in Hyōgo Prefecture. Several aspects of the series, such as the Uegahara Pirates (上ヶ原パイレーツ) of the Kwansei Gakuin University in The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, exist in real life in the city (in the series, the first kanji is different, however, giving the name Kamigahara Pirates). The Hanshin Tigers (阪神タイガース Hanshin Taigāsu) were also mentioned in the series, and exists in real life. The city is never referred to as Nishinomiya in the franchise. According to translation notes in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya manga, volume 13, the series takes place in nearby Kobe. There are about 10 Hyogo BoE placements in the city. 1 JET is farther north in the city while the rest live in (or near) an area called Rainbow Town in the southern part of the city. You will know this area instantly the moment you approach because there will be towering rainbow buildings ahead of you. Some of the ALTs have base schools in the city while others teach in either Ashiya or Amagasaki.

Nishinomiya is a city located in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, between the cities of Ōsaka and Kōbe. On April 1, 2005, the city of Nishinomiya celebrated its 80th anniversary. It is best known as the home of Kōshien Stadium, where the Hanshin Tigers baseball team plays home games and where Japan's annual high school baseball championship is held. It is also the location of Kwansei Gakuin University, a private university founded by American missionaries in the nineteenth century.

Several aspects of the series, such as the Uegahara Pirates (上ヶ原パイレーツ) of the Kwansei Gakuin University in The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, exist in real life in the city (in the series, the first kanji is different, however, giving the name Kamigahara Pirates). The Hanshin Tigers (阪神タイガース Hanshin Taigāsu) were also mentioned in the series, and exists in real life. Numerous landmarks in Nishinomiya, including the high school (North High) and areas of nearby Kōbe and Ōsaka, feature in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime. Lists of examples can be found here, here, here, here, and here. This is common practice at Kyoto Animation. However, many other aspects differ, for instance, the uniforms of North High are quite different in the series than the real-life equivalents. The city is never referred to as Nishinomiya in the franchise. According to translation notes in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya manga, volume 13, the series takes place in nearby Kobe.
