Mission of the Association

We stand together with those in the anime industry,
hoping for growth in the anime industry as well as in the regions of Japan,
contributing to making Japan and its regions a place where people around the world would wish to visit.

Concept of the Association

Our mission is to select and formalize the “Japanese Anime 88-Spots”. Moreover, we aim to establish an expansive route connected by “Anime Pilgrimage Sites” through a nation-wide public and private partnership structure.

We wish to connect “Japanese Anime 88-Spots” (Local Regions), corporations, and content holders, allowing them to take advantage of the subject of the “Japanese Anime 88-Spots” to provide goods and services and to create a welcoming environment for tourists, encouraging new economic growth.

Through a number of methods, we aim to spread information about the “Japanese Anime 88-Spots” to supporters of Cool Japan both in Japan and abroad, connecting tourists and pilgrimage sites to create new customers.
