Nishinomiya Kita High School, the alma mater of series creator Nagaru Tanigawa and the visual model for North High School in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, has announced its final open campus event. According to a report by Anime News Network, the event is scheduled for November 21 and will accommodate 1,000 guests across four pre-reserved timeslots. While the school has long served as a destination for fan pilgrimages, it only began officially opening its doors to the public in November 2025. The upcoming event will feature a campus tour of locations depicted in the anime, alongside AR/VR experiences and a stamp rally. The school is currently transitioning toward a 2027 merger with Nishinomiya Kabutoyama High School to form the new Nishinomiya Kurakuen High School. While incoming students have utilized the new name since April 2025, the official transition concludes following the graduation of the current third-year class.
