<p>One of the strong points of A Bridge to the Starry Skies - Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is the location. The countryside town, with all that pure air, water and greenery really sets the mood and works as a contrast with the Tokyo grown protagonist.</p>

  <p>Shibuya? Is it something to eat? - Ui, ep 7</p>

<p>Is it a real place? Or was it inspired in some real world location? Bonus points for google maps link.</p>

I've never seen Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, but I was able to find [a blogpost by somebody who seems to have found the model-location](http://tsurebashi.blog123.fc2.com/blog-entry-85.html) for the countryside part of the show: [Hida-Takayama, Gifu](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takayama,_Gifu).

If you want to explore the area, here's [a Street View from just outside the Hida-Ichinomiya station](https://goo.gl/maps/2s83N) (the one whose signboard is shown below), and here's [a Street View from on the red bridge](https://goo.gl/maps/kYrfi) (also shown below).

Here's a couple of the comparison shots from that blogpost:
