One could probably guess approximately where the IRL equivalent of this school is from the following data:
One could probably guess approximately where the IRL equivalent of this school is from the following data:
*Lain lives in Setagaya
*[[Lain's house]] is in Setagaya
*She and her pals and her sister like to visit Shibuya for fun
*She and her pals and her sister like to visit Shibuya for fun
*It's an all-girls middle school/high school/college

*She rides the train there

Ok well maybe it's not that helpful. I searched google maps for all-girls schools in the area of northeastern Setagaya or Shibuya or surrounding wards near that area with train stops nearby, and there seemed to be a few... I might not have been using the right search terms as well... and it's supposed to be a fictional place and all. All of this speculation is based on the possibly faulty assumption that settings in the show had real-life equivalents or models

BUT STILL it might have been modeled after a place such as [http://hs.jissen.ac.jp/ jissenjoshi gakuen]. It looks like such a nice place... It's a middle and high school, it's near yamanote line, and there are two university campuses pretty much bordering it...

'''EDIT:''' ok just found this place called [http://www.ohyu.jp/ ouyu gakuen], it's much more likely because it's right there in setagaya and it has the same [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%B7%97 kanji] in its name, and it's not a really common character either unless i'm very mistaken. The shape of the buildings is more similar to lain's school as well.
