The Anime Tourism Association was established in 2016 with the aim 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.” The Association has released its Anime Pilgrimage Sites People Should Visit list annually since 2018. The Association is holding a press conference for its Anime Pilgrimage Sites 88 program on February 13 at 2:00 p.m. Japan time (midnight EST) on the Anime Tourism Association YouTube channel.
The full 2025 list is online in Japanese only. The English version of the website has not yet updated with the 2025 edition.
