"Love Live! "Kanda Myojin
This is the first one I will introduce, and this one has become an elaboration that I must introduce as the first one.
Kanda Myojin is a representative of Japanese anime and a very important sacred place in Love Live. It appears many times in the story and is the backdrop for important scenes.
A classic moe anime mecca representing Japan
"Love Live! "The first season was released in 2013 and has become a legendary idol anime. It has become a popular brand with many successor works even today, making it one of Japan's most popular moe anime.
Such "Love Live! "in Kanda Myojin is a shrine where one of the members, Nozomi Tojo, works as a miko (shrine maiden).
Perhaps because of this, it is a spot where the main characters, members of the idol group "µ's ", run down the stairs in front of the building to train their muscles and improve themselves.
It has become a representative holy place where pretty girls sweat and cry over their dreams of becoming popular idols, and it is also a spot where you can enjoy the best part of a pilgrimage to a holy place.
We hope you will enjoy thinking about your own dreams as you walk down the stairs.

"Raising a Dull Girlfriend "Toshima-ku, Tokyo
This is another spot that anime fans will never forget on their typical "pilgrimage to the Holy Land ".
After all, a place where the place of life is faithfully recreated as a sacred place as it is, makes you want to visit it in person.

From this perspective, Toshima-ku is an area where the lives of the protagonists are truly reflected.
You can feel the atmosphere of the very popular late-night anime with your whole body.

A huge hill tucked between reddish, fashionable apartment complexes, known as "Nozomizaka ", has become a trademark spot that attracts the attention of local residents.
With its strong slope and compatibility with the surrounding buildings and nature, this place is a popular aesthetic spot, but it also appears as an extremely important spot in "Raising a Sae no Kano Girlfriend "(Sae Kano).

It is a work that depicts an anime production site, and is a popular work pushed not only by anime fans but also by cultural and industry figures.
Musashino Animation, a small animation production company, works and lives here on Sukippu Street, a place that fans will recognize at first glance.

"Licorice Recoil "Oshiage Station area
"Licorice Recoil "has become an up-and-coming masterpiece of original animation that was one of the top explosive hits of the 2022 season.
This area around Oshiage Station is the very main spot where "Licorice Recoil "is set, as it is the area where the coffee shop Licorico is located.
The area is depicted here multiple times, and the popular anime is currently a hot topic of conversation, making it a great place to enjoy a pilgrimage to a holy place.
Since this whole area is a sacred place in Licorico, it is very easy to make a pilgrimage.
Oshiage Station (Kita-Oshiage Station in the story) is the setting where the subway bombing took place, and the area one step outside and around the Sky Tree is a super god spot where the main characters Senzoku and Takina went on a date in episode 3.

Lastly, I would like to introduce a sacred place for a work called "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo (Here I am at Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo "). This one is commonly known as "Kochikame "and is an anime.
It has become one of Japan's most popular gag anime and has many fans from the past.
The atmosphere of Kameari is just like the world of the work itself.
"Kochikame "depicts the slapstick daily life and incidents of the main character, Kankichi Ryotsu, at a police station in Kameari.
The problems and entanglements of the local people who appear in these stories are a staple of each episode, and one of the greatest features of Kochikame is that they are very humane and interesting.
When you actually visit, you can catch a glimpse of people living in a relaxed atmosphere that retains a downtown atmosphere, an impression that fans of the area are sure to love.
The area is also very tourist-friendly, with bronze statues and monuments of the main characters, including Kankichi Ryotsu, manholes, and a facility that recreates the shape of a police station, so you can be assured of an enjoyable experience.
