Tokyo New Youth
No one knows Japan better than we do
In the production process of Japanese anime, there are often parts that are locally sourced, and some even completely copy the background stage of the entire animation from the real world, and the details of each background perfectly reproduce the streets, buildings, stations, and shops that exist in reality, creating the entire animation world with a very real life atmosphere and vivid realism.
In recent years, a very popular word has appeared in the cultural tourism industry - the holy land tour, travel to the places that have been touched by their own Japanese film and television works that have really appeared, through the beautiful scenery and specially marked buildings in the animation, recalling the plot that appeared in the work, and harvesting full of emotions.
For example, the manga work we are most familiar with, "Natsume Friends' Account", the author Midorikawa Yuki is Kuma himself, so the production team basically filmed in Various Places in Kumamoto, of which the attractions in Hitoyoshi City are the most dense, which is also where Natsume and Cat Sensei live, and you can find a lot of pictures in the manga here.
Cherry Maruko, one of the world's most recognizable and influential anime works, has been among the top three japanese anime ratings for more than 20 consecutive years, and its location was originally set in Shimizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture around 1974.
The elementary school where Marukuko attended, the small park where they often play, the Japanese-style house where they live, and even the cityscape where Maruko's house is located are all restored here.
For anime travel fans, what could be more interesting than crossing the dimensional wall to tour the real anime world? As early as 2017, the Japan Animation Tourism Association organized and announced the "88 Most Wanted Japanese Anime Meccas" voted by anime fans around the world, hoping to promote the tourism industry in these cities through the global popular anime.
The 2019 version of the "88 Most Wanted Japanese Anime Shrines" list voted by the global comic fan network has also been released, and several anime shrines have been added to the last 88 anime shrines, from which to choose a favorite location for a holy land tour, a camera, a manga, a map, find a "holy land" in the anime sit down, bask in the sun and blow the wind~

The Yoyogi area of Shibuya-ku has been performing Yoyogi accompaniment and Yoyogi rice cake-pounding songs since ancient times at Yoyogi Hachiman Shrine, where it is dedicated. The Yoyogi Hachiman Shrine, famous for its gods who get rid of bad luck and luck, has a "dove sign that brings luck".

Many anime fans come to Chiba to experience the Chiba Urban Monorail that appears once in the anime, which is the train that the Takasaka siblings will take when they go to Akihabara, the central character of the story, using a suspension monorail system, and the noise pollution generated during operation is relatively small. A sacred place recognition seal for this work is placed next to the central ticket gate of monorail Chiba Station.
There are also many scenes and buildings in the animation that have prototypes in reality. For example, the park full of nature that is highly photogenic in the play is "Chiba Park" in Chiba City, the library where Kyosuke and Asuna hold a book club together is the "Chiba City Central Library Career Learning Center", and the school "Chiba Prefectural Chiba Benjo High School" where Kyosuke attends is based on the "Chiba Prefectural Chiba Commercial High School", and the "UR Chiba Station" in the play is called "JR Chiba Station" in reality...
