| Japan Tourism Organization (JNTO) has made an anime-oriented map for foreign tourists. 'Japan Anime Map' introduces model places of popular anime such as Nishinomiya ("Suzumiya Haruhi"), Nanto ("True Tears"), Ueda ("Summer Wars"), and Washinomiya ("Lucky ☆ Star") as well as sightseeing spots of otaku culture: Akihabara, Nakano Broadway, Ikebukuro Otome Road. Japan Anime Map on JNTO The number of foreign tourists to Japan has dropped more than 50% from the year-earlier for three consecutive months since the earthquake. JNTO will distribute 10,000 copies of Japan Anime Map in the US, China and South Korea to promote the tourism in Japan. Source: Sankei |

| Cool, Lucky Star and Haruhi. |
| They know lots of tourists are there for the anime, and exploit it. Well done. |
| Awesome ... i should go to japan when i graduate and who knows , they might get better things besides maps =D |
 |
| Definitely go there to the all anime tourism spot! |
| Nice ! i need to visit japan now |
 |
| You know what will REALLY improve their tourism numbers? A report by the IAEA saying that radiation levels in Japan have fallen to pre-earthquake levels. |
 |
| It is only a matter of time before they start making these things in Spanish and distributing them in South America considering that quite a bit of the Japanese population have South American blood in them. |
| Lol smart of them. I would love to visit all these tourist spots <3 |

| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Smart move made by the Japanese Government |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Coo~l... I want to go there especially for Suzumiya Haruhi so much. ^^ |
| Seeing the guide reminded me to finish watching Saikano. Also I don't know why I haven't seen Summer Wars yet. I had heard the name but never really looked into it. I will definitely check it out. One day I'll make it to Japan, though I don't think I'll be traveling all over to see the anime sites like a hardcore fan. |
| Interesting... |

| Let me know when I can marry my waifu, then I'll go. Until then I'm off to Russia and Germany. |
| I hate you all. |
| I'll give a model town a try, I avoid them, since I don't usually watch the anime associated with them, however I can now because I'm watching Hanasaku Iroha. |
 |
| My life: complete I mean first I have to go to Japan and check it all out but then: complete. |
| Oh how i would love to visit japan.... Maybe next year :D |
 |
| Good job, now i just need to go to Japan ^^ |
| torism drops so they want the forien fanboys to show and support them, since they figured out that their fanboys where huge spenders... lol |

| Epic!! |
| K-On! where? |
    |
| Now I know where I'm going next! :D |
| that'll help alot. Of the two years i took Japanese courses, i sucked at them (dunno how i passed both years with a B), and mostly on kanji. ;w; so yeah, good to know that it's gonna get better for tourism in the future. 日本へ行きたいです。 |
 |
| Yay for Sailor Moon being on there! |

| If only I didn't have to go to college then yeah, I would so go to Japan. It's literally calling me XD |
 |
| i've visited japan before...but since it was on a school trip it was mostly cultural and historical sites but that was pretty cool...next time i go i want to see the side of Japan that they are most known for: technology, gaming, anime, manga, etc. ...thinking about taking Jap in college too |
| Visiting the area that inspired TMoHS ? Yes please. Although I do visit Japan still anyways, for my family that lives over there; just not those specific areas. I'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW WEEKS JAPAN ! Thank you, family vacation. |
 |
| Heh~, that's awesome. I've only watched Haruhi's series yet, though XD |
| Cool! Gotta go one day. |
 |
| I don't want to increase my probability to get cancer, even for anime. |
| Now it makes it a lot EASIER! Even if I know a little Japanese I don't have to worry anymore about translating it. Way to go Japan! |
| hahaha, cool Otaku Tourism |
