It looks like the movie set in Nishinomiya, “The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya,” will be screened at Nishinomiya Gardens.
The screening dates are for two weeks from February 6, 2026. Incidentally, the original release date back then was “February 6” in 2010. After 16 years, screenings will once again begin on a Friday. New movies generally open on Fridays.

Here’s what the Kansai screening theaters look like. Since Nishinomiya is a “sacred site” for the series, it’s almost certain to sell out.Book early.
By the way, this will be the first screening at Nishinomiya Gardens in two and a half years, since June 2023.
What kinds of places appear in the movie?
Nishinomiya Kurakuen High School / Nishinomiya Kita High School
The school attended by the heroine, Haruhi Suzumiya, is Prefectural North High School. Its real-life model is Nishinomiya Kurakuen High School.A must-see for current students and alumni!
The place names on the attendance register are also a must-see

Familiar local place names like “Koyoen Nishiyamacho” and “Kashiwado Nishimachi” appear too.

This sacred spot isn’t as widely known as you might think, but which scene does it appear in?
Finally
“The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” was adapted into an anime in 2006, and it’s honestly amazing that nearly 20 years later, there are still revival screenings and events for it. Everyone in Nishinomiya, this is genuinely worth watching! The screening slots at Gardens are likely to fill up fast, so seriously, book early!
