Where Does Oshi no Ko Take Place?
Location Guide · 4 min read
Published October 29, 2026
Oshi no Ko takes place in Meguro, Tokyo, where its idol industry story is grounded in real streets around Meguro Station. The franchise moves twice more. Season 2 sends the story to Takachiho, a mountain town in Miyazaki Prefecture, and Season 3 pulls it back to Tokyo, centered this time on Shibuya. Across the three seasons we have verified 105 real locations: 28 in the original series, 41 in Season 2 and 36 in Season 3.
Where does Oshi no Ko take place?
Meguro carries the largest cluster in the original series: 8 of the 28 confirmed spots our catalog has matched to episodes 1 through 8. The Shin-Meguro Tokyu Building, Dendo Square Park, the Nakamegurokozenhodo footbridge, MFPR Meguro Tower and Doel Ars Meguro all sit inside the same few blocks, and Meguro Station itself turns up twice under its bus stop listing. Shinagawa's four spots, Hotel Aland and the Yakiniku Ponga Meguro restaurant among them, sit just across the ward line from that cluster and share the same station.
Koto ward, out toward the bay, holds four spots tied to episodes 10 and 11: SKY STAGE, the Odaiba Aomi Area R Sector, Fuji Television's Wangan Studio and DiverCity Tokyo Plaza, the shopping complex better known abroad for the Gundam statue outside it. Shibuya adds four more, including the Starbucks inside Shibuya Tsutaya and Yebisu Garden Place, and Chiyoda rounds out the Akihabara side of the map with the National Diet Library and two Akihabara shopping centers, atre Akihabara 1 and Akihabara ZEST.
Where does Oshi no Ko Season 2 take place?
Season 2 keeps a Tokyo base, Shinjuku and Koto both hold seven confirmed spots, but its biggest arc sends the story to Takachiho, a town in Miyazaki Prefecture known for its gorge and its shrine. Our catalog places 15 confirmed spots there, all in episodes 12 and 13: Takachiho Shrine, Konpira Shrine, Aratate Shrine, the Ama-no-Iwato-jinja shrine and the Kunimigaoka viewing platform among them, plus a statue commemorating the town's night kagura performances. The one Kumamoto entry in the season is Kumamoto Airport itself, the nearest airport to Takachiho and the likely arrival point for the trip; Takachiho's own catalog entries outnumber it fifteen to one, so despite what a quick search might suggest, this arc belongs to Miyazaki, not Kumamoto. Back in Tokyo, Isetan Shinjuku, the JR Shinjuku East Exit station square and the Shinjuku branch of Cafe Renoir anchor the everyday scenes, while Toyosu Station and the Shin-Toyosu Forest carry the Koto side.
Where does Oshi no Ko Season 3 take place?
Season 3 moves the story back to Tokyo, and Shibuya becomes the largest single cluster in the franchise so far: 10 confirmed spots spread across Shibuya Crossing, Harajuku Harappa Farm, Duo Omotesando and Karaokekan Shibuya, tied to episodes 1, 3, 4, 6 and 11. Meguro returns with six spots, Dendo Square Park again and the bookstore Konando Books among them, and Koto's four spots this time center on Tokyo Big Sight, standing in for the industry's trade shows in episodes 2 and 3. A couple of real institutions make direct cameos in our catalog: Shueisha, the manga's own publisher, appears at its Chiyoda headquarters in episode 3, and Tokyo Dome shows up in episode 11.
Is there a Season 4 of Oshi no Ko?
As of this writing, our sources do not confirm a fourth season. AniList has no listing for it, and neither does our own catalog or the Dump2 registry we import from. If Oshi no Ko is renewed, we will add its locations to this guide once they clear our review pipeline, the same process Season 3 went through before it appeared here.
Which studio animates Oshi no Ko?
Doga Kobo animates all three seasons. The first aired from 12 April to 28 June 2023 across 11 episodes. Season 2 ran from 3 July to 6 October 2024 across 13 episodes, and Season 3 aired from 14 January to 25 March 2026 across 11 episodes. In Japan the series is known as 【推しの子】; Aka Akasaka writes the source manga and Mengo Yokoyari draws it, and Shueisha serialized it in Weekly Young Jump from 2020 to November 2024.
