Memories are funny things. They can hide in the back of your mind, to the point where you've nearly forgotten. Then, suddenly, they'll be called out by some Memory Trigger. A specific song, a smell, a taste. Or, in the case of this trope, a place. A place of reminiscence is a place that ties into a character's backstory in some way, usually the place they grew up in, or where something significant happened. In other cases, the place simply reminds them of some event in their past. No matter what their connection is, being in that place again causes them to flash back to the past. This trope is usually played for melancholy, with the character remembering happier times than whatever they are currently going through. One variant of this trope is that the place itself holds the memory, in which case the characters themselves were most likely not present to recollect it. Compare Haunted House. In visual mediums such as animation, this is often depicted by having ghostly images of the past walk around, with the character watching them somberly. Examples |

Natsume's Book of Friends: In "The Door of Memories" and "Long Way Home", Natsume visits some relatives to pick up the key to the house where he lived with his parents before their deaths. During the visit, he's surrounded by painful memories of the time he passed with these relatives, bullied by his bigoted cousin, and haunted by an evil youkai who wanted to eat his memories. When he finally visits his parents' home, Natsume spots a drawing he did on the wall when he was small, remembering vaguely that his father didn't punish him for this; however, he can't remember anything else about his parents and breaks down in tears. | |

In The Sandman (2022) episode "The Sound of Her Wings", Dream happens to stumble upon the derelict ruins of a condemned pub while wandering through London, quickly flashing back to his first visit there in the fourteenth century. Here, he met Hob Gadling and (with help from Death) made him immortal, before bidding him to meet him at the same pub every hundred years to gauge his opinion on immortality. Over the centuries, Hob refused to accept death no matter how miserable his life got, and he and Dream became close... only for the whole thing to fall apart when Hob attempted to acknowledge their friendship in the 19th century, prompting Dream to storm out. Dream ended up missing their next appointment thanks to being captured by Roderick Burgess, and back in the present, he finds that the pub is nothing but ruins, with no sign of Hob's whereabouts. However, he's eventually led to a new pub just down the road, where he finally meets with Hob again and apologizes for keeping a friend waiting. | |

Played with in Moriarty the Patriot: William leaves information about his past, along with his birth certificate, in a long-abandoned orphanage he grew up in, and the shots of the building are identical panels showing the age of the place much later—but only the reader are aware of this directly, as Sherlock was the one sent there to retrieve William's old memories in the form of documents. | |

Knights of the Old Republic: The player experiences visions whenever they visit a new planet, allowing them to get a fix on the location of the Star Maps. It's initially believed to simply be the Force guiding you and Bastilla along... up until it's revealed that the player is none other than Darth Revan, the fallen Jedi who first discovered the Star Maps and used them to hunt down the Star Forge. As such, the "visions" you experience upon arriving on new planets are actually fragmentary memories of your past expeditions. | |

Much of Westworld Season 1 has Dolores going on a journey of self-consciousness as she starts to gain memories of her past. In "Trace Decay", she finds a town with a white church called Escalante where she remembers people dancing, and then, a massacre occurred with her putting a gun to her head. Later on in the next episode "The Well-Tempered Clavier", she returns to Escalante and goes into the church's confessional box which leads into one of Delos' underground facilities where she remembers the Delos employees testing on the hosts and Dr. Robert Ford looking completely angry as heads to the office of his partner Arnold Weber. Then, Dolores heads into a room that happens to be the same room where Arnold interviews her during analysis. It is there where Dolores finally remembers that she's the one who killed Arnold. |

In the case of Spinel, she and Steven go to Pink Diamond's private garden, where they used to play together before Pink was given her own colony. Through the song "Drifting Away", Spinel remembers when Pink asked her to play a "game" in which she would stand perfectly still until she returned; she waited over 6,000 years before finding out that Pink is not only gone, but had no intention of ever coming back. | |

That brings her memories of a childhood birthday party when she was given the beautiful box; but, instead of the usual clown, the doll turned out to be a monster that scared little Muffy out of her wits. That gives her the idea to reunite her pals from college for a very, very special weekend. | |

Perhaps halfway through Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh, Curtis Craig is able to sneak into Wyntech's underground laboratory; here, he begins to experience flashbacks to a childhood incident in which he observed his father Jonas and Paul Warner conducting experiments on the dimensional portal at the heart of the complex. As Curtis gets closer to the portal, he remembers more and more, until he finally recalls that Warner ran out of test subjects and decided to use young Curtis instead, throwing him into the portal. Thankfully, young Curtis eventually returned from beyond, but stark naked and covered in goo. However, the climax provides additional context, revealing that Curtis didn't return at all: the entities on the other side of the portal replicated the poor kid and kept the original for themselves — and you've been playing as the clone the whole time. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean features a more literal example with Under World, the Stand of Donatello Versus. The power of Under World is to physically unearth memories that are buried in the ground, and force its targets to relive those memories. For example, Donatello finds himself in an area where a plane crash directly occurred years prior, digs up the memory of it, and has Jolyne Cujoh and Ermes Costello directly experience the events of the plane crash. | |

Farscape: The episode "PK Tech Girl" features Rygel ending up aboard the wreck of the Zelbinion, the Peacekeeper vessel where he was imprisoned for over a century. He quickly finds himself recalling traumatic memories of his first visit, one of the more prominent ones featuring him being stripped of his medallion of office and tortured by the ship's captain. In "Into The Lion's Den Part 1," the crew's temporary truce with Scorpius results in Aeryn returning to the Peacekeeper command carrier where she once lived and worked. During a visit to the officer's lounge, she finds herself flashing back to happier times spent playing games of chance in that same lounge with her friend Henta; back in the present, it quickly becomes clear that the entire crew regards Aeryn as a traitor — including Henta. |

A darker example in Going Postal: For uncertain reasons, the sheer weight of undelivered mail still stuck in the Post Office causes flashbacks to its more functional times, ones that actively manifest as hallucinations. And as Moist finds out, these hallucinations often cover up the Office's current, dilapidated and changed state. This killed his predecessors as they walked onto floors that didn't exist, down stairs that were in no state to hold their weight, or even just overlapped their eyeballs with a past phantom's body and the sheer shock of seeing someone's insides gave them a Hollywood Heart Attack. And it damn near kills him too. | |

Quite literally in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil; the Maze of Memories holds physical depictions of memories and exhibits them as moving, abstract paintings and sculptures, much like a museum. A person in the Maze of Memories tells Lolo that those in the Kingdom of Mira-Mira - where the Maze is located - never like to be outside, preferring to stay in the museum and remember memories. | |

The story makes clear that Natsuki is remembering many things at once at the edge of her former homeland, from the tragic night her people were slaughtered and she was left buried under a pile of her own family's corpses, to the good times when the forest was the home of her people, and they were prosperous. They do not enter the forest, as they are on a mission, and it is clear the forest intimidates Shizuru's army, but Shizuru promises Natsuki that one day they will return so that Natsuki can show her her former home. | |

The hill of Cerin Amroth in Lothlórien holds a fair memory for Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings. Frodo witnesses him reliving it, and the appendices reveal that it's the memory of Aragorn and Arwen plighting their troth. | |

The Dragon Prince: The Historia Viventem spell creates a shimmering blue visual and auditory illusion that reenacts a past event that happened in that location. Lujanne uses it to show Callum what the Moon Nexus looked like in its heyday and Callum uses it to show Rayla what really happened to her parents the day Zym was taken. Because it is dependent on the location and not on the caster, the land itself must hold memories for the spell to draw on. | |

Also happens frequently in the sequel, Reignfall. While walking through the streets of Vale, May walks by the spot where she first came out as trans to Winter, leading her to reflect on her and Winter's broken relationship. Later, during the Vytal dance, she notices all the places in the ballroom where she and her old team hung out during the dance eight years prior, which causes her so much emotional turmoil that she has to leave. Winter has the same remembrance when she visits Vale for the Vytal festival, though even more bittersweet for her since she thinks May is dead. | |

Watership Down: In the collection Tales From Watership Down, a young rabbit basically has a ghost encounter with a group of hunters and a rabbit they'd shot. Fiver consoles the other rabbit by explaining that it's not the soul of the dead rabbit in eternal torment, but a bad memory burned on the clearing where the shooting took place. | |

In Issue #10 of The Secret World, players visit the Dream Palace in search of information on the Tokyo Bombing. It turns out that John Copley, the suicide bomber who did the deed, paid a visit to the Dream Palace's A/V room some time prior to the incident, and his memories have been imprinted on the place — allowing you to go on an adventure through John's time as a member of the Fear Nothing Foundation, his drunken trip through Tokyo's nightlife, his ultimate corruption, and finally the bombing itself. You even get to witness the moment John transcended physical existence and became the Black Signal. Unfortunately, John is very much aware that you're watching his memories and is not at all happy with you, retaliating with a Poke in the Third Eye. | |

Late in Sleepers, Shakes is chatting with Fat Mancho about the ongoing plot to get John and Tommy acquitted for the murder of Noakes and bring attention to the child molestation going on at Wilkinson — only to find himself distracted by the sight of a broken-down fire hydrant. He then flashes back to his childhood when he, John, Tommy, and Michael would play around the same hydrant, back before the four of them were sent to Wilkinson and put on the downward spiral that left them in their current predicament. | |

It serves as quite a sharp reminder of how happy and normal Ezio's life was before everything was ruined. | |

One of the motifs of Suzume. Doors that, if they stay open will, cause massive destruction appear in derelict areas. To close them, Suzume and Souta have to reflect on the lives of the people who once lived there, reliving a flood of happy memories. In the final part of the movie, Suzume returns to her ruined home town, site of the T�hoku tsunami. She briefly sees a vision of her house as it used to be before seeing that only the foundation remains. She's unable to reflect on any good memories about a place that holds so much pain for her, until the climax when Souta finally gets her to think about all the small happy moments the people who died shared before their deaths. | |

The Legend of Dragoon: Early in the game, Dart has to journey through the forest outside his home village, prompting him to recall a previous visit to the forest in his childhood — during which he saved Shana from a wild beast. As an adult, the memory spurs him onwards in his quest to rescue Shana from Helena Prison. In Disc 3, should you decide to veer away from the path to Vellweb and instead visit the ruined Fort Magrad, Rose finds herself overwhelmed by memories of a rally held at the fort in which the commanding officer personally addressed her... even though the last time armies gathered at the fort was over eleven thousand years ago . Disc 4 features the heroes finding themselves inside the Moon That Never Sets, the interior of which is a collage of environments taken from the memories of the party. Miranda finds herself drawn to a forest clearing with a single rose at the centre of it — and promptly finds herself flashing back to her traumatic childhood, during which her mother abandoned her in this very forest. |

A quite literal example in Beware of Chicken; the earth spirit's shattered remains are in the land, all across the province, and as the fragment of her that's left gradually rebuilds her connections to each piece, she regains her memories of a time long ago. She tries to avoid the Dueling Peaks, knowing that the many memories there will be traumatic, but eventually reconnects to it to save her friends. | |

NIMONA (2023): After a seed of distrust is planted between her and Ballister, Nimona suffers a Heroic BSoD and flees through the wilderness until she finds herself at a derelict well overlooking the city, triggering a flashback. Many years ago, Nimona met a little girl by that same well and not only became her best friend but even revealed her shapeshifting powers to her. Everything went perfectly up until the little girl's parents found out that she'd befriended a "monster," resulting in an angry mob trying to kill Nimona, accidentally setting the village on fire in the ensuing confrontation. In the wake of the catastrophe, the girl rejected Nimona as well. It's not until the very end of this flashback that it turns out that this happened a thousand years ago: the little girl was Gloreth, the eventual founder of the city, and Nimona was the monster she "defeated". | |

It: In a more literal sense. When the Losers Club sans Mike Hanlon left Derry as young adults, they lost their memories of much of their time there, good (their friendships) and bad (their encounters with It). When they return years later to defeat It for good, the memories start coming back. Downplayed, since they start to come back after Mike calls each of them, but Derry itself jogs most of the memories. | |

It's hinted that she has kept a lot of her memories about the place somewhat buried, but as she goes through her childhood house, many of them come back to her. In the next installment, Fatal Lesson, being back at Stillwoods Camp — the place where she trained to become an agent — leads Amber to relive memories of her time as a trainee there, including the deaths of two of her friends. | |
