This article is written from a real world point of view.
Nishinomiya

Location of Nishinomiya

Nishinomiya (西宮市 Nishinomiya-shi) is a city located in Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, between the cities of Ōsaka and Kōbe. Hyōgo is the southeastern quadrant of metropolitan Ōsaka. The writer of the series, Nagaru Tanigawa, is from the actual city.

Several aspects of the series, such as the Uegahara Pirates (上ヶ原パイレーツ) of the Kwansei Gakuin University in The Boredom of Haruhi Suzumiya, exist in real life in the city (in the series, the first kanji is different, however, giving the name Kamigahara Pirates). The Hanshin Tigers (阪神タイガース Hanshin Taigāsu) were also mentioned in the series, and exists in real life.

Numerous landmarks in Nishinomiya, including the high school (North High) and areas of nearby Kōbe and Ōsaka, feature in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime. Lists of examples can be found here, here, here, here, and here. This is common practice at Kyoto Animation. However, many other aspects differ, for instance, the uniforms of North High are quite different in the series than the real-life equivalents.

The city is never referred to as Nishinomiya in the franchise. According to translation notes in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya manga, volume 13, the series takes place in nearby Kobe.
