Kakyōin is a real Sendai place name (it comes from a shugendō temple moved here in 1773) and it is the origin of the name of Kakyōin Noriaki, Jōtarō's companion in the third part. The daily Kahoku Shimpō states in a headline, without mincing words, that Kakyōin Street is a ‘holy site of the JoJo manga’. The spot where readers stop is this post office, a building entirely clad in striped green glass: the obligatory joke is that it looks like ‘a glowing melon’, that is, Hierophant Green.
