Recently, Fukushima Prefecture has been pushing the idea of pilgrimages to sacred places in anime as a measure to stimulate tourism demand as a prefecture.
This is recommended because of its dual face as a city while still retaining a strong natural environment, and also because of its easy accessibility and relatively close proximity to Tokyo, the capital of Japan, which has a slightly rustic feel.
We hope you will enjoy your trip to these sacred places of anime in Fukushima Prefecture.

"Fleet "Kashima Shrine
This first one is set in Fukushima Prefecture, and although the place itself does not actually appear in the anime or other works, it is unforgettable due to the name value of the work.
"Fleet KOREKUSHON "itself is a two-dimensional moe work that caused a huge boom in the 2010s, and many people are still fascinated by it.
It is said that this is a shrine on board the fleet named Abukuma, which is a little complicated, but it is known as a place where fans of the work gather.
This shrine has a solemn and sacred atmosphere that makes it hard to believe that it has become a component of a moe anime.
It is fair to say that it is appropriate since it did not actually appear in the work, but I feel that the noble and cool atmosphere is also connected to the battleships of "Abukuma ".
For example, some of the ema (votive picture tablet) painted with the faces of the characters and their lines have become sacred places.
If you are a fan of the ship, please visit and share your thoughts with the fans.
