Haruhi Suzumiya's Real-Life School Holds Last Open Campus
The school's name changes in the 2027 academic year as it merges into Nishinomiya Kurakuen High School, so this closes the window on fans walking the campus under the name tied to the anime.

Nishinomiya Kita High School, the model for Haruhi Suzumiya's North High and Nagaru Tanigawa's alma mater, will hold its last open campus event on November 21, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., with four pre-reserved timeslots for 250 guests each. All 1,000 tickets, priced at 1,000 yen, have sold. The event includes a campus tour of anime locations, an AR/VR experience, a student-planned activity, and a stamp rally.
The schedule runs four reserved slots across a single day, and every ticket is already gone. Attendance is capped at 1,000 people, with no same-day entry mentioned.
The program is built around the places fans already know: a tour of campus locations that appear in the anime, an AR/VR experience, an activity organized by current students, and a stamp rally.
The school held an open campus in November 2025, and this one is billed as the last. Nishinomiya Kita merges with Nishinomiya Kabutoyama High School to become Nishinomiya Kurakuen High School, a name incoming students have used since April 2025. The change becomes official in the 2027 academic year, after current third-year students graduate.
