2023-04-21 Management office

Toyama Prefecture is a prefecture that contains many elements that make it beloved for its rich nature and somewhat unusual specialties and local characteristics.
For example, it is not a sacred place, so we omitted it from the show, but it was even once a collaboration with that very popular smartphone social game "Pazdora ".
The famous fish appeared as monsters, etc. and became the talk of the town.
These achievements give us high expectations for interesting anime sanctuaries in Toyama Prefecture. We encourage you to visit the sacred sites in Toyama Prefecture.

"YuruYuri "Takaoka City



The first one we will introduce here is a heartwarming work that depicts the daily life of four girls who specialize in cuteness, and the upheaval and laughter they cause.
Its penetrating pop style has gained the ardent support of some enthusiasts, and it has also gained a certain number of fans, including entertainment geeks.
For example, there was an incident in which Mr. Sakasane of Akusei Shimotsuki introduced the theme song of YuruYuri in his regular TV program in a funny way, and the general public made a fuss "about what's going on ".
The radio songs also have an old-fashioned moe anime feel to them, making them somewhat nostalgic.
The setting for such works is concentrated in Takaoka City, one of the most prominent cities in Toyama.

Easy access as it is in urban areas such as Takaoka City and Toyama Station area.



YuruYuri's sacred sites are clustered around Takaoka City and Toyama Station.
This is a major transportation hub from various prefectures and is a must pass through when accessing Toyama Prefecture.
Therefore, even if you don't make time in your schedule to visit, it is highly convenient and natural, so it is highly recommended.
In particular, the area around Toyama Prefecture has been beautifully recreated, and there are many spots that readers of the work will recognize at a glance.
A work that has many fans, please check it out.

"Kimi no Pancreas wo Tabetai "Toyama prefecturewide



We think it is safe to say that this is the most popular and well-known anime work set in Toyama Prefecture.
"Kimisui, popularly abbreviated as ", has taken the world by storm as a very tear-jerking work.
The books are a big hit, and the popularity of both animation and live-action films means that there is a wide audience to reach.

All of Toyama Prefecture is a sacred place, and we recommend checking the official pilgrimage map of sacred places.



The sanctuary of Kimisui is the whole area of Toyama Prefecture.
At first glance, it may seem inaccessible because it is not a specific place, but an official pilgrimage map is posted, so those who want to visit the area thoroughly are encouraged to check it out.
In a sense, the work depicts an ordinary space where two people meet and enjoy their normal daily lives.
Therefore, it would be interesting to see Toyama Prefecture without any clothes on and to think about the works of art.
The official map is being distributed in Toyama Prefecture, and a link to the website is also provided.

"Wolf Children Rain and Snow "Nakano-Niigata-gun



"Wolf Children: Rain and Snow "is a 2012 film directed by Mamoru Hosoda, known for "Summer Wars "and others.
The director is known for his dynamic action and development, memorable sound, and romanticism that digs into the Japanese landscape and its ancient rooted soul, and this trend is beautifully followed in this film.
The work depicts the forbidden love between a wolf and a human, and the family love between the children born as a result.

The film is set in Nakashinagawa County, the director's hometown.



Nakashinagawa-gun, the main setting of this work, is the hometown of the director, Mamoru Hosoda.
The director has many other representative works in addition to this one, but the fact that he chose this land, where his roots are, as the setting for his film shows the strength of his passion for his work.
In fact, the film version was a huge hit and the director's intentions were spot on.
Not only the beautiful scenery of Japan "in summer "as depicted in Summer Wars, but also the snowy winter and silver world "and the pull "of Japan are depicted here with great precision.
It is a setting that is also perfectly suited to the mysterious and secretive style of the work.
We hope you will visit the stage of this popular work.

"Persona "Imizu City



"Persona "is an anime based on the original PS2 game, which was broadcast in 2008.
It is popular as a nostalgic game from a long time ago, and we are sure that not a few of you know the name itself.
Although it is a suspense mystery, it is a work that tickles the chuunibi mind, as it uses a minute body called "persona "to get to the bottom of the case.

Kai-O-Maru Park is a standard tourist attraction and was depicted impressively in the work!



The work is set in a virtual world, and the city of Imizu is the model for it.
Specifically, "Kaiōmaru Park "is extremely impressive.
It is the best tourist attraction in the Bay Area, where extremely large ships with sails are bottoming out, and you can feel the beauty of the sea and the scale of the ships standing there.
In fact, this spot, which also flourishes as "a sacred place for lovers ", has a bell that is rumored to bring happiness, and is truly a wonderful place to spend a moment with a sense of openness.
Originally a popular tourist spot, this refreshing space with the magnificent nature of Toyama Prefecture and a ship as its foundation was dynamically featured in the production.

"Sakura Quest "Nanto

Sakura Quest is a work of PAWORKS, an animation company that is the best in the world at drawing work stories in various industries, such as "Akiba Meizu Senso "and "White Sand Aquatope ""SHIROBAKO ".
This is also a similar work of art, but it is a very special one.
This is because Sakura Quest is about revitalizing a town.
Residents of Toyama Prefecture often self-deprecatingly say that their prefecture is not famous for its local specialties. The heroines' struggle to revitalize their town in such a region is very localized and tickles the soul of their hometown.



Nanto City is not exactly a city with a population of around 50,000, but it is a truly rural area with magnificent nature and a relaxed atmosphere.
The work depicts a town revitalization centered on a fictional kingdom called "Chupacabra Kingdom ", and the palace is located on the banks of Sakuraga Pond.
It is also a central location in the story, so it should be easy to remember.
It is also a gorgeous area where you can enjoy seasonal nature, making it a great place for sightseeing. As a side note, PAWORKS is also headquartered in Toyama Prefecture, and the love of the area can be clearly felt in this wonderful work.

"Another"南砺市



"Another "also depicts the same place as 5.5 as an area, but the style is very different.
Although this anime was broadcast a long time ago in 2008, it is characterized by its relatively radical content due to its loose regulations and unconventional freedom.

The thrilling scene at the beginning of the work is right in front of you.



The Ferris wheel of terror in episode 0, familiar to those who have seen the work, is set in a suspense mystery, and this Ferris wheel depicted a brutal scene in which an arm was caught and severed.
The Ferris wheel is a solid survivor and is the property of an amusement park called "Mirageland ".
This Ferris wheel is, of course, safe and secure, but it also offers the thrill of a work of art at the same time.

"Chrome Chrome "Toyama City



Last but not least, here is a brief introduction.
This is also a work of PAWORKS and is set in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture.
The fact that the company is headquartered in Toyama Prefecture gives us a sense of the company's commitment and willingness to push forward here as well.

The central city of Toyama makes a comprehensive appearance!



In this anime, the center of Toyama appears in place of every other place in each episode.
It is not clear whether this was targeted or coincidental, but it is playing a role in the promotion of tourism in Toyama Prefecture.
Toyama Castle, Kurobe Dam, and Toyama Kittokito Airport are very familiar spots for tourists, so we encourage you to visit.
