Random thought: I'd love to analyse a bunch of anime and get a count of how often schools are shown as being on a hill or high ground.

I get the feeling from my memory like 90% of the time when a school commute is shown it's always on a hill with the students arduously cycling or pushing their bikes in the morning, and then happily freewheeling all the way home.

I'd love to know:

A) is my memory actually correct

B) if my memory is correct, is this simply a media trope (as in, a visual metaphor for the morning journey being unpleasant while the time after school is freeing and relished) or are Japanese schools actually on hills a lot of the time.
