What is anime pilgrimage?

Anime pilgrimage (seichi junrei / 聖地巡礼) is the practice of visiting real locations that appear in anime, manga, and other Japanese media. Many anime productions use real cities, landmarks, and neighborhoods as reference for their backgrounds, and visiting these spots lets fans experience the world of their favorite shows firsthand.

How we pick our spots

Every spot on Anime Spots has been verified against the original anime scenes. We include GPS coordinates, the nearest train station, walking directions, and practical tips like opening hours or the best time of day to visit.
