Mikage High School, prefectural high schook in Kobe, Japan
Mikage High School is a public Japanese high school located in the Higashinada district of Kobe. The campus consists of several school buildings typical of Japanese educational facilities, with a sports ground and a main building visible from the surrounding residential streets.
The school was founded in the 20th century and has since continuously served students from the Higashinada area. Over the decades, its buildings have been updated to meet the changing needs of the Japanese school system.
The school appears as a setting in a popular Japanese manga and anime series, drawing fans from across Japan and abroad. Those familiar with the work can recognize specific spots on the grounds right away.
Since this is an active school, the grounds are not open to the public during school hours. The best way to visit is to view the campus from the pavement outside the main gate without disrupting school activities.
The school is known in Japan largely because it served as a model for a location in a popular manga, even though it was never designed with tourism in mind. Some fans travel to Kobe specifically to see this one spot.
