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.
