I'm not sure exactly where in Japan this music video was filmed, but the rural landscape is very, very similar to what you see in NON NON BIYORI, possibly in the same area where the anime crew did the reference photography. The manga/anime is set in fictional Asahigaoka village that isn't any one specific place in Japan, but the general region is probably north central/north west Chubu, if I had to say a specific prefecture maybe Gifu.
The weird thing about this video is that it has four boys instead of four girls like in the anime, although that may be because they're not supposed to be representative of specific characters in the show, they're only supposed to be representative of the general idea of growing up in the most rural part of Japan (well, most rural part of the main island of Honshu, I think areas of Hokkaido, the northern island, outside of the metropolis Sapporo are as rural as Japan gets).
