Gosh. Sounds like Jay and Nya were really messed up by Skybound.😬
I wonder what would happen if some crazy situation occured that would make them have to open up about this. *Starts writing*😈📝

P5R Pilgrimage: Yongen-jaya
Sangen-jaya, actually, but let’s just say I can’t count! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More pics and screenshot comparisons under the cut! :D
Let’s start things off with the train station.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The street that the Yongen-jaya area is modeled after is a couple-minute walk from the station, and the view up and down the street is pretty familiar.

Note the signs for ぷくいち / らくまる near the upper right, and the yellow bollards further up the street!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That store exists -- it seems to be a teppanyaki and fuchuyaki (a type of okonomiyaki) place.

The street on which Leblanc should be located is right nearby -- note the cute nod to the real-life signage (Good-Bye Good-Bye vs Good-day Good-day). There’s a snack bar (a type of hostess bar) on this street -- it’s the shop with the round red awning. I’ve read in other posts that the snack bar is aware that the location is visited by P5 fans, and that they’ve got some merch and such inside, but I didn’t visit it myself.
The store in the space where you’d expect Leblanc to be appears to be a takoyaki shop.

I was very much hoping to be able to peek into the laundromat and perhaps buy a drink at the vending machine, but the entrance to the bathhouse is closed up. The location is marked as “temporarily closed” on Google Maps, but from the looks of it it’s probably permanent...

A little further down the street is the Thai restaurant.

This entire street is crafted with uncanny accuracy; it’s really fun having a look around.

Where you might expect to find an old fellow on a bench with a radio...

And a little further down the street, the buildings come together quite tightly.

The lantern is still there!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A little name change never hurt anyone...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Further down the street is the grocery store, Muramasa (actually Niku no Hanamasa).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The name Muramasa’s a bit of a pun -- “murasaki” is the Japanese word for purple or violet, and you’ll notice that they changed the storefront to be purple instead of yellow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The staircase leading up to the batting cages is also there, albeit on the other side of the store. Unfortunately this place was closed too -- I snuck up the stairs for a little peek around, but didn’t get too far before turning back. (All the signs about cameras freaked me out. xd)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lastly, this obviously isn’t in Sangen but sorta felt like it made sense to include it in this post: the Aoyama-itchome station.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The fare gate was really the only thing that sort of looked how it does in the game. Apart from that, I think lots of it was changed to make the place look a bit more open visually; IRL it’s a little cramped.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That’s it for this one. I’ll probably do Kichijoji next!
