I can say that you absolutely cannot miss "Crayon Shinchan "as an anime set in Saitama Prefecture.
The equation Crayon Shin-chan = Saitama Prefecture has left such a deep-seated impression that everyone knows it, and a prefecture-wide welcoming mood has been fostered.
The frequent use of the words Saitama Prefecture and Kasukabe City in the work, such as "Kasukabe Defense Force ", is due in part to the fact that the author, Yoshito Usui, is from Saitama Prefecture.
The artist's cute style, which makes the most of his geographical location, is loved by men and women of all ages.

Since the whole area of Kasukabe City is a sacred place, I cannot say for sure that you should visit here, but I would like to introduce Kasukabe Station as a base for your tour.
This is truly a station that has been developed with Crayon Shin-chan all over it, creating an atmosphere that is irresistible to fans.
The station is decorated with illustrations of Shiro, Shinnosuke's dog, and other characters.
Not only that, the theme song "Ora wa nikimono "is used as the train departure melody, allowing you to get into the groove of the train.
This station, which tugs at the heartstrings of Crayon Shin-chan fans from the station, is a must for those who love the work.
Starting from this station, please tour around the whole Kasukabe City area.

This place has become known as the sacred place for "My Neighbor Totoro ", a superb masterpiece animation by Ghibli from Japan to the world.
"My Neighbor Totoro "is, after all, the original Japanese landscape of nature, with its abundance of greenery in the countryside.
It is a place that you should definitely visit because it actually exists, a place that gives you a sense of nostalgia and emotion that makes you feel as if you have been there before, even though you have never visited it.

In summer, the green curtains that envelop the area, the sunlight filtering through the trees, and the concerto of plants and animals stretching their wings in a lively manner stimulate my pride as a Japanese person.
The nostalgic, calm and serene nature is dramatic enough to make you want to see it at least once in your life.
Also, because the park is so alive with nature as it is (the place was depicted as deep in the mountains in the film), many people may have the impression that it is inaccessible and unfriendly, but this is a park with a well established official website and can be visited in a relatively lighthearted manner by families and other visitors. However, this is a park with a well established official website and can be visited by families in a relatively lighthearted manner.
It has become popular because it is an unreality that is surprisingly easy to visit from central Tokyo.

This work is an animated work based on a manga.
It is a heartbreaking coming-of-age graffiti with the theme of lies between men and women, and its sentimental atmosphere is alive in this neighborhood as if touched by hand.
There are many places that can be introduced as actual locations, but the first is the front street bridge.
Many people make pilgrimages to sacred sites when searching the Internet, and the bridges connecting cities are truly synonymous with the spot.

The fact that Saitama Prefecture is not too urban and still retains a traditional atmosphere is thought to attract many people.

The popularity of "Chihayafuru "steadily gained through a step-by-step media mix of anime and film, and I think it is safe to say that it is a masterpiece that has taken the world by storm.
Surprisingly, Toda City in Saitama Prefecture is the sacred place for this work, but it is also the site of many other sacred places, and the careful notarization of the stage is a selling point of this work.
But a certain facility in Toda City is a place of great significance in the work. Please visit there.

This "Toda City Sports Center "is a facility that serves as a meeting place for young people who play sports in Saitama Prefecture.
For those of you who have seen the work in person, you may find the place to be solidly familiar.
This facility was the venue for the Saitama Prefecture Hyakunin Isshu Tournament, where blood-boiling, sparkling, and heated battles are fought with a sports-like intensity.
This is a familiar spot for Saitama residents, but we hope that many fans will visit and experience the excitement of "Chihayafuru ".

It has been called a pioneering work in the culture of pilgrimages to sacred places among anime fans, and it cannot be forgotten.
