Iwakaba

Iwakaba (岩樺) is a train station in the Hidamari Sketch universe. The rail line that connects Iwakaba Station with Asagi-chō has a terminus at Kōjigaoka.

Yoshinoya once visited this station to meet up with an old Yamabuki classmate who was very similar to her.

Shinto shrine
Yoshinoya recommends the shrine in Iwakaba as a beautiful place for artists to sketch in fair weather. It is located atop a tall hill and is accessed by climbing hundreds of steep steps. Yuno counted 453 steps by the halfway point before she was distracted by Miyako.

There is a male priest who is very popular among the older women who visit the shrine. Yuno meets a young girl who asks for her drawing and watches her sketch the landscape.
