2024-10-08 Management office

Chiba Prefecture is extremely accessible from central Tokyo, yet it is a region that gives the impression of nature and the seaside, in a good sense of the word, and has become a sacred place for many anime productions.
We believe that it would be very enjoyable to visit the area as a short trip.
Anime lovers are encouraged to visit.

"After all, my coming-of-age romantic comedy is wrong. "Chiba Prefecture

It is no exaggeration to say that Chiba Prefecture = "Oreguile ", and the equation is so strongly impressed that it becomes the first sacred pilgrimage spot I would like to introduce.
It is a masterpiece that was an exceptionally big hit for a light novel, and the anime has already been completed.
The romantic comedy is very deep and interesting, with a clever and skillful portrayal of the twisted, blokey, emotionally-oriented male protagonist, and the attractive heroines who gather around him.
The lessons learned and the attitude of not getting caught up in one's surroundings gives it a bible-like feel, as if one were reading a self-help book, and it has captured the middle- and second-hand hearts of many middle and high school students and has not let go.
It is no exaggeration to say that this work changed the history of romantic comedy and light novels by presenting various inventions and novelties.




Spread throughout Chiba Prefecture, the sacred sites of "Oreguile "are so densely spread out that you cannot get around even in a single day.
Inage High School will make your heart tremble and even create an emotional atmosphere when you see it, and various activities will unfold in Chiba Prefecture starting from this high school where the main characters attend.
Chiba Station area. Inage Kaigan Station area and Kaihin-Makuhari Station area are the main spots, and convenience stores, facilities, and parks in the surrounding areas are recognized as sacred sites.
"ORE GAIL "sells a multilayered flavor that is very green and sweet and sour in the way it skillfully portrays and develops the subtleties of the heart like an actual living person while ensuring the charm of the anime-like characters.
This is why seeing the actual sanctuary gives you a sense of nostalgia and comfort, as if you were reliving your own youth.
Please visit this sacred place, which can be recognized at a glance of a masterpiece.

"Bakemonogatari "Kencho-mae Station

"The Bakemonogatari "series has become extremely popular due to its clever media mix.
The company has a high recognition rate among adults because of its very rich development of not only entertainment works but also pachinko and pachislot machines.
Although Tokyo is the main location, there are also several sacred sites in Chiba Prefecture, so we encourage you to visit them.




The Chiba Urban Monorail runs through Chiba Prefecture, and the geometrical atmosphere of the Kencho-mae Station is particularly impressive.
The long, slender, machine-like tracks and the translucent, glass-walled, mechanical atmosphere that blends in with the natural surroundings are somehow fascinating.
This work successfully incorporates elements of serious mystery and mystery solving, and matches the atmosphere of the very interesting near-future.
Kencho-Mae Station makes a brief appearance in episodes 14-15 of Bakemonogatari, and I highly recommend checking it out if you visit Chiba Prefecture.

"Kiniro Mosaic "Tsudanuma

This "Kiniro Mosaic "is an anime work from the "Kirara "series, which is very popular among two-dimensional freaks who love loose, cute characters and anime.
It is a soothing work that depicts the slapstick, noisy, but funny daily life of the main character, who was doing a homestay in England during his junior high school years, and his cute female friends came close to him.
Sacred sites are concentrated along the Keisei Main Line in Chiba Prefecture and are easily accessible longitudinally.




I have the impression that the entire area along the Keisei Main Line, including Funabashi City, such as Semmai and Tsudanuma, is a sacred place for this work.
As mentioned above, the easy accessibility makes it convenient for fans of the works to tour the area.
Two shopping malls are depicted as sacred places from the vicinity of Tsudanuma Station, but this area is also well segregated, as it almost never appears in the aforementioned "Ore Gaile "and other places.
We hope you will check and enjoy the slightly deep streets of Chiba Prefecture, deformed with cute patterns.

"Here and there "Inage area




This work is also from the "Kirara "series, following on from the previous anime.
"Unusually for a work by Kirara ", it is a romantic comedy of boys and girls on the royal road, and the style of the work is very cute and makes you moe very much.

This work "Cat "is drawn as one axis.
The cute characters are quite charming, as if the heroine were a slightly deformed version of a normal human being, such as imitating a cat or growing cat ears.
Inage Kaigan Station has also been renamed "Nekoge Kaigan ", and the obsession with cats, which is now even surrealistic, as cat objects are drawn around the station, embodies a dusty and cute style.
The Inage area has a lot of overlap with the main attraction of the pilgrimage to sacred sites in Chiba Prefecture, "and "Oreguile" ". If you actually visit the Inage area, you can have a lot of fun in one day.

"Love Live! "Narita Airport

"Love Live! "gives the impression that the sacred sites are located in the Tokyo area, such as Akihabara and Kanda, but Narita Airport in Chiba Prefecture is also a stage.
In this epic moe anime, girls from a girls' school called Otonokizaka Gakuin take on the role of school idols and use their cute performances to promote the school and bring smiles to the faces of the people around them.
It cannot be forgotten in the history of Japanese animation and is truly a wonderful work of art that Japan is proud to share with the world.
We understand that those who access Tokyo from other prefectures often use Narita Airport.
It is also a great place to visit before touring the main sanctuary in Tokyo.




Narita Airport appears in the first indent "Love Live! "s percentage endgame.
The school idol group called "μ's," formed by the main character and her group, is in danger of being disbanded at the end of the film. The reason for this is that one of the members, Minami Kotori, tries to leave Japan from Narita Airport at least once in order to pursue her dream of expanding abroad.
However, the main character, Honoka Kosaka, spoke passionately about her feelings for μ's, and the nine members decided to continue their activities together.
The live concert will be a grand finale.
Thus, the stage is set for a scene so hot and moving that tears and sweat are mixed together.
We hope you will pay attention to it when you use Narita Airport.

"Zegapain "JR Maihama Station

This "Zegapain "is a work that is gaining recognition for a variety of reasons.
It is a science fiction work that fantasizes about how people live in a world where a virus is spreading, and of course the main plot and the original story are interesting and worth seeing.
However, it is also considered one of the most legendary works in another sense. The reasons for this are discussed in detail below.




One of the factors that made this work a hot topic was the aspect that it was the debut work of the very famous voice actress star Kana Hanazawa.
And the quality of the performance was taken up in some Internet circles as ......(self-regulation).
It doesn't bother me as a normal viewer, but for the more discerning anime fans, the acting caught them a little off guard.
Today, however, Ms. Hanazawa has turned such a behind-the-scenes situation around and established her position as a national voice actress.
He made many people recognize him for his ability.
Please visit the sacred place of this work, which has been talked about for better or worse.

"YuruYuri "Ichihara City




Lastly, I would like to introduce "YuruYuri ", the holy land of YuruYuri, which is an anime that still has a strong fixed fan base as a dreamlike work that is entirely devoted to cuteness and moe.
The slapstick yuri comedy of pop and fluffy junior high school girls tugs at the heartstrings of many anime fans and is very cute.




This station, Joso-Ushiku Station, is the nearest station and commuter route for the main characters' junior high school girls.
In this work, Toyama Prefecture is the setting, but many urban centers in Kansai and Kanto are actually depicted as real holy places, which is also familiar.
The somewhat rural, old-fashioned atmosphere of this Joso-Ushiku station is very nice.
It also has a relaxed, slow-life atmosphere, which matches the style of the work.
We hope you will visit us when you are in Chiba Prefecture.

summary

Thank you for reading this far.
As one would expect from the second largest urban center in the Kanto region after Tokyo, Chiba Prefecture has been associated with some of the most famous works and big titles.
We hope that you will be able to access this site when traveling to the Kanto region, as it is easily accessible from Tokyo.
