Very nice! Thanks for sharing. There are other interesting videos on that channel about Tenchi Muyo as well. Neat!

The place in the video is 鬼の差上げ岩, Ogre's Upraised Rock, just north of the Kinojo Castle Ruins complex. If you go to https://youtu.be/tnOlza9aDdg?t=388, you can see what clearly looks like Ryoko's cave.

I was under the impression that the Masaki Shrine in TM was modeled after the Taro Shrine, a bit further west. They even have a Tenchi Muyo drop box with fan-generated content inside. (You need to know Sasami's birthday to open it.)

Just south is Maruyama Park, which has a pond that looks suspiciously like the pond and general environs around Tenchi's house.

According to this site, the Kohmorizuka Ancient Tomb is also part of the inspiration for Ryoko's prison.

I think, like many things in TM, the places and names are an amalgamation of Mr. K's memories, used as convenient for the story line. Not that I mind. It just means I have a better reason to visit more places when I go.

edit: If you go to the video owner's page, there is a video of the aforementioned Taro Shrine.
