Hyouka has proven itself to be quite the popular anime with its fictional setting of Kamiyama City. However though the setting may be fictitious, the locale is based on the very real Takayama, in the Gifu prefecture.

And now the city is banking in on that by handing out 10,000 maps to people showing off the spots in real life as seen in the anime. Just have a look at the images below, the resemblances are uncanny between anime and real locations.
