Anime Tourism 88 -Mini Tour- : Famous anime landmark tour in Japan! with Aimi & Sachiel
Continuing on from our last video at the Anime Tourism Information exhibit, Aimi is here with her mini side-kick Sachiel (Neon Genesis Evangelion) to explore readily accessible anime pilgrimage spots in Tokyo, Chiba City and Hakone Town.
❖HAKONE TOWN, KANAGAWA PREF.❖
First up is Hakone Town, home to memorable angel battles seen in Neon Genesis Evangelion, namely Shamshel and Ramiel (4th and 5th angels respectively). The town of Hakone is a well-known hot springs town close to Tokyo, with many spring water sources, each with its own composition and benefits, so it is also known as the 17 Springs of Hakone. Furthermore, taking a leisurely ride on the various methods of transportation in Hakone is an enjoyment too, such as a cruise boat on Lake Ashi, the Hakone Tozan Railway, and the Cable Car, to name a few.
❖TOSHIMA WARD, TOKYO❖
Real-life scenic spots in Ikebukuro appear in this title, such as the “ikefukuro” owl statue inside Ikebukuro Station, the owl and the treble clef sculptures near the station, Ikebukuro West Gate Park, and more. At the Sunshine City mixed-use commercial complex in East Ikebukuro are attractions such as the Sky Circus Sunshine 60 Observatory, where visitors can catch unobstructed views of Tokyo, the Sunshine Aquarium, and the Konica-Minolta Planetarium: “Manten”.
❖CHIBA CITY, CHIBA PREF.❖
In Chiba City, there are always different kinds of events and sports activities at places like Makuhari Messe and ZOZO Marine Stadium. There are also many historical spots such as Chiba Castle Ruins and Chiba Shrine, The Chiba Port Tower is popular for night viewing.
Chiba Park appears often in this title, with its particularly memorable views of the monorail soaring through the far side of the pond. At this pond in June, a large crowds gather to see the blooming of the world's oldest flower -- The Oga Lotus.
Speaking of Chiba, we must mention its famous product: peanuts. Recently, peanuts are being used in different desserts like peanut butter, peanut ice cream, and peanut dacquoise, and those become popular dessert dishes.

Ikebukuro (池袋, [ikebɯkɯɾo]) is a commercial and entertainment district in Toshima, Tokyo, Japan. Toshima ward offices, Ikebukuro station, and several shops, restaurants, and enormous department stores are located within city limits.
At the center of Ikebukuro is the train and subway station, a huge urban gathering shared by the JR East lines, the Seibu Ikebukuro Line and the Tōbu Tōjō Line. It is one of the main commuter hubs in the western Yamanote area of Tokyo. Ikebukuro Station is the third-busiest station in Japan, and the world.
Around the station are the Seibu and Tōbu department stores. Seibu, written with the characters for West and Musashi (province) 西武, is on the east end of the station and Tōbu, written with the characters for East and Musashi 東武, is on the west end. East of the station, on the site of Sugamo Prison, stands Sunshine 60, which was Tokyo's tallest building at the time of its construction. The Sunshine 60 contains a large and popular shopping mall, which contains various attractions including an aquarium, a Pokémon Center, and cat cafes. Adjacent to Sunshine City, on Meiji-Dori, is the Toyota Amlux Building which houses the Toyota showroom. Otome Road, a leading shopping area for otaku products aimed at women, is located nearby. Marui and Don Quijote also have department stores in the area. The principal electronics retailer in Ikebukuro is Bic Camera. There is a small pleasure district located in Nishi-Ikebukuro, similar to Shinjuku's Kabukichō.
The old village of Ikebukuro stood to the northwest of the station. Most of the area on which modern Ikebukuro is built was historically known as Sugamo. In the Taishō and Shōwa periods, the relatively low land prices attracted artists and foreign workers, who lent a somewhat cosmopolitan atmosphere to Ikebukuro. Until October 1, 1932 when Toshima ward was established, the area was an independent municipality of Ikebukuro-mura (池袋村).
The kanji for Ikebukuro literally means pond bag. Outside the west exit of Ikebukuro station near an entrance to the Fukutoshin Line is a small plaque explaining how the area used to have multiple lakes, hence the name.
There is a small statue of an owl located near the center of the city called Ikefukurō-zō (いけふくろう像), meaning pond owl statue. It is a play on words from the alternative meaning of fukuro as owl (although owl is pronounced with a long final oh, rather than a short o in the word fukuro for bag). The owl statue has become a famous meeting place along the lines of the statue of Hachikō located outside Shibuya Station.
- TOKYO CHINATOWN
Ikebukuro is home to many ethnic Chinese who arrived in the 1980s, leading to a variety of Chinese goods and services being provided in the district, which are popular among tourists interested in Chinese culture. However, the Ikebukuro Chinatown is smaller and less populous than Yokohama's Chinatown just to the south of Tokyo
