JTB offers 'Wolf Children' area stay

Wolf Children aka 'Ookami no Kodomo Ame to Yuki' real life location is being promoted by JTB, looks like JTB is trying to tap into anime fan by making this tour package. A bit disappointed that JTB only have limited dates for the tour package but guess it is in trial period. Hope my friend have plan to go~~ I would love to go if I am in Japan now!

I really enjoyed this type of trip by going to anime location during my time spent in Japan. I remember going to Jimbocho in search of the famous Yomiko's (from Read or Die) basement bookstore with my friend who guided me around. Well sadly there is no basement when we check the elevator (lol).

Some other famous location is Lucky Star where the anime is taken place in Saitama, Tari Tari in Enoshima Island, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi in Hyogo Pref and other more like Hanasaku Iroha, OreImo and K-ON!.

So what so interesting about this mini-event???  Well you get to meet with mangaka from Beelzebub, Pokemon Adventure and Say "I Love You".
