Haruichi Furudate’s “Haikyuu!!” manga series is one of the most popular sports stories, and most fans have also enjoyed its anime adaptation. But did you know that the environment in Haikyuu was themed after a town that exists in real life? It’s called Karumai and is located in the Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Our friends from Mipon took a trip there, and they took pictures of some amazing locations which actually made it into the anime!
