「あのアニメで出てきたあの場所に実際に行ってみたい！」
“I wanna actually go to that place in that anime!”
そんなふうに思った事は、アニメファンなら誰にでもあるでしょう。
I guess every anime fan has felt this way at one time or another.
熱心なファンがアニメやマンガなどの舞台を実際に訪れることは、キリスト教やイスラム教にちなんで「聖地巡礼」と呼ばれています。
When avid fans actually visit a setting of an anime or manga, it is called an “anime pilgrimage” after Christianity or Islam.
日本には４７個の都道府県がありますが、それぞれの場所に「アニメの聖地」が存在しています。
There are 47 prefectures in Japan, and each of them has its own “sacred places from anime”.
作品によっては複数の県に聖地が点在しているものもあります。
Some anime have sacred places scattered in several prefectures.
実は、日本のWikipediaにはアニメ、マンガ、映画、ドラマ、小説など、それぞれの聖地をまとめたページが存在しています。
For your information, Japan’s Wikipedia has a page that summarizes the sacred places of anime, manga, movies, dramas, novels, etc. in each prefecture.
それらを見ることで、その県が舞台になったアニメにどのようなものがあるかなどを簡単に調べることが出来るのです。
By reading them, you can easily find out what kind of anime is set in that prefecture.
また、各県ごとの聖地を紹介しているサイトなどもありますので、それらを組み合せるとあなたの聖地巡礼や観光に役立つかもしれませんね(笑)
There are also websites that introduce the sacred places in each prefecture, so combining them might be useful for your pilgrimage and sightseeing.

↑Example of anime and real life places
↑If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend who loves the same anime/comic/game you love, it would be great additional easter eggs for your Japanese travel. (The guy with MGSV bra is one of the Oculus Rift founders, by the way)
I think this is a very good map to start! (Click to Reddit)
http://genryudaigaku.com/archives/5028 ↑If the prefecture you go don’t have a good anime/manga, maybe you can see this page. This guy even made an imaginary manga that actually doesn’t exist and did Seichi Junrei by himself, lololol.
↑Ofc anime is much better than your real life, right? ^^;
↑Lots of anime fans visited a shrine where anime characters visited in the anime. In Japanese shrines, you can buy a board like that to write your wish.
↑She stumbled upon the same hotel she saw in one of her favorite manga! Congrats!!!!
↑This book author seems to make the word, 聖地巡礼 for anime.
Love to see Japan pictures!
