Dramas locations - Kurosagi

I'm in progress of downloading yesterday's Chubaw desu yo! and thought I can do this in the mean time.

Recently I found a lot of japanese blogs posting pics of locations where dramas were shooted. I love to see these places and the "Ah! It was made there!" feeling, so I decided to make a series of posts about it.
Maybe if you will have a chance to go to Japan, you can see these places and for example eat inside a restaurant where Kurosagi was filmed.

Forgive me if it's too heavy from graphic.

Starting off with Kurosagi drama.
Credits for pics to waspring.
Please visit original blog for more information about places and locations marked on maps.

「クロサギ」ロケ地巡り
Vol. 1
Vol. 2

Snapshots from drama:




I think this is most famouse place that witnessed a lot, including Tsurara confessing her feelings to Kurosagi.


Snapshots from drama:



Kurosagi's (and later also Tsurara's) house.
The place have a poster sticked to the stairs saying: "Access forbidden, except for owner". Probably it was put after too many fans tried to get in.



Snapshots from drama:



Locations on these 2 photos are connected, used a lot in scenes where Kurosagi and Tsurara were going back home.
Actually, after you pass the tunel, you can see Kurosagi's apartment


Snapshots from drama:



Restaurant Katsura. It was a place where Kurosagi was getting informations from Katsuragi.
When in real life it's a French restaurant located close to Tokyo Station. It must've been difficult to film drama in such busy location.

Snapshot from drama:



Builing that is suppose to be Police Station is actually a private school.

Snapshots from drama:




In here was shooted intense scene where Kurosagi was beaten up by a policeman (Sakurai Sho) (episode 6)

Snapshots from drama:



Place where Kurosagi took tissues from part-time working Tsurara (episode 8).
It's usually very crowdy place.

Snapshots from drama:




Kurosagi swindled Shirosagi into thinking it will be a place where she's going to be vice-president (episode 9)
The real meaning of this place is Culture Center in North part of Central Park.

That's it for Kurosagi, but you can expect at leat 3 more posts like this one in future.

Ee-yay! I claim the first spot. ^_^
Thanks for posting these locations, I love reading these kinda stuff, and imagine myself there... Where YamaPi was beaten up in Kurosagi, or where he offered his half-eaten bun to Tsurara in the rain... Etc etc. xDD
It would definitely be memorable if I could visit these places in Tokyo (when I go there... I definitely will! ...Someday.)
