The project focuses on information exchange between the cities, and research on how to grasp the need of the fans of Japanese anime and manga and to increase repeaters.
Eight cities in Gifu Prefecture (Gifu, Ogaki, Tajimi, Ena, Minokamo, Hida, Gero, Wanouchi-cho) have started “Gifu Anime Sacred Place Alliance” to attract tourists from Japan and abroad to the locations in the prefecture inspired or featured in popular anime and manga titles.
And pamphlets with information about the locations will be also distributed in and out of the prefecture.
