This first one is arguably the most famous of the pilgrimages to sacred places in Shizuoka Prefecture.
A national anime and the face of Sundays, "Chibimaruko-chan "is an extremely popular anime with a history of over 30 years and is popular with men and women of all ages.
Shimizu-ku in Shizuoka Prefecture is a place name that repeatedly appears in the work, and the reason for this is, of course, that it is where the main character, Maru-chan, was born and raised.
Maru-chan's relaxed life in Shimizu Ward, which has a downtown atmosphere, is both touching and heartwarming.
If you visit this area, you'll see "you've seen it before "is all over the place.

Shimizu Irie Elementary School, which every Japanese person has likely seen at least once, is the setting for Maru-chan's elementary school. It is also the home school of the original author, Ms. Momoko Sakura.
"Chibimaruko-chan "contains autobiographical elements, but the events of Momoko Sakura's life, which took place in this school, are also scattered throughout the work.
The actual school route has been recreated as it is, and the surrounding area is full of familiar buildings, parks, and shrines, so we recommend that you start your pilgrimage to the holy place from this elementary school.
The city has a lot of transportation and merchandise wrapped in Chibimaruko-chan specifications, making it a great place for fans to visit.

Ibaraki Prefecture is so famous as the main battleship port, but here in Shizuoka Prefecture, the Higashi-Fuji Training Area is nominated as a sacred place.
The military exercises held in the vast wilderness with Mt. Fuji in the background are very powerful, and the area is also known as an important base for actual military activities.
At the same time, it plays a similar role in animation.
It is also a pop style that uses tanks to battle as an art form, and this is the final of that competition - the one that took place in episode 10.
Although it is impossible for the general public to enter one of Japan's largest training grounds, even a distant glance is enough to give a sense of its prestige.

Numazu is a purely sacred place for the Sunshine series, the second Love Live series, which is the gold standard in the Japanese moe anime community.
The main theme is the sea and the sun shining into the city, as it is called "Sunshine," and the port town of Numazu matches the style of this work.
Numazu's spacious sea and sparkling summer atmosphere are simply popular tourist attractions and must be visited, but for fans, this is a particularly recommended pilgrimage spot because of its concentration of unforgettable sacred places in one location.

The Love Live series often focuses on the lovely live scenes of cute girls.
The heroines have their own beliefs "that they absolutely want to achieve ", so they are not just trying to be a heroine, they are trying to be a person.
It strikes a chord.
This one is a counter to the unmarked version set in the heart of Tokyo, the somewhat rural Numazu.
The underlying theme is set to revitalize the town of
Numazu is a good town with abundant nature and other attractions, but the number of people entering high school is not increasing.
The main characters are school idols who wish to make Numazu a better place.
This is the general setting of the

This is an anime based on a manga that was broadcast in 2017.
Although not as well known, the exciting setting of the space police is a shining example of this work, and Shizuoka Prefecture has become a sacred place right in the middle of the city.
It is also interesting to note that the pilgrimages are not too close to nature in Shizuoka Prefecture, and it is refreshing and fun to make a pilgrimage to a place that is somewhat different from other works.

It is the Evangelion series directed by Hideaki Anno that has gained a wide range of fans and followers, from anime fans to the general public, and has gained immense and unique direction.
The anime series aired in the 1990s, and its cutting-edge style stuck in the minds of adolescents, and it has since gone on to overcome many troubles and barriers to become a major animated series.
The culmination of this work was the movie "Shin Eva ".

Ayanami Rei farming, which will remain very much in the minds of those who have seen Shin Eva. The moment her impressions of the theater spread through social networking sites, she quickly became a hot topic of conversation.
The model for Daisan-mura, where such a warm, folksy atmosphere is depicted in a relaxed manner, is Tenryu Futamata Station on the Tenryu Hamanako Railway.
The railroad line, which stands serenely in the form of a sandwich of houses, is a topography that is hard to find elsewhere, and even has a sense of figurative beauty.
The fan-shaped spread of the line is also called "fan-shaped garage "
It is not as desolate as the third village, of course, and there is no extensive agriculture or hot springs, but the serene atmosphere is somehow sympathetic.
If you want to experience the world of Eva in a relaxed atmosphere, please visit the museum.

It is no exaggeration to say that this work is one of the most bizarre in the history of Japanese animation.
Although it is not that well known, it is an impressive animation that leaves too strong an impact on those who see it.
The crazy setting of a physical battle between women with butts and breasts, and the fact that it is a gamble, is unforgettable once you hear it.
The work is anything but sexy and has delicious scenes, and has become a hot topic among voice actors.

This work, with its bizarre setting of battle gambling based on women, also depicts a tournament set in Shizuoka Prefecture, with Mount Fuji and the Abe River in the background.

"YuruCan△ "is one of the most popular works in the Kirara series, known for its bishojo moe anime and manga, and the somewhat unusual setting of a high school girl going camping attracts people like no other.
The beauty of nature and the deliciousness of camp food are condensed into the charms of the outdoors.

In the first season of YuruCan, Yamanashi Prefecture and the Mt. Fuji area are well-known as sacred places, but in the second season of the TV anime series, in which Shima Rin-chan begins to travel around more actively on a moped, Izu is also included in the scope of protection.
Izu has become a main tourist spot in the second season and is famous as a place where the heroines gather at once. Shaboten Park, with its open-air baths where you can bathe with capybaras, was depicted adorably in the work, and it is impressive that they toured different campsites for several nights in a manner similar to a traverse in mountaineering.
The Izu area in particular is a land of beautiful seas, and dried fish and seafood are a specialty of the area. Nadeshiko and other campers ate aqua pazza and other seafood dishes at the camp.
It is fun to camp along the same route, or simply enjoy sightseeing.
