It is the model for Kikyō Girls’ High School, Kaoruko's school: it appears in the first episode and in the seventh, where the sports competition takes place on the same field shown here, and in the drawings you can recognise the wooden building, the wide corridors and the stairs. The first four real-life shots of the opening sequence come from here: a classroom, the bicycle rack and the sports field itself. It is the only attribution in the series confirmed by the production: the school is listed in the end credits among the 協力, and the producer names it in an interview, saying he went ‘to Matsumoto Fukashi High School in Nagano, with its distinctive historic wooden building’.
