Saitama prefecture where a lot of cities, towns, and villages that became stages of animated cartoons such as “Laki* Suta”, “Crayon Shin-chan”, and “My Neighbor Totoro”

exist. The saitama prefecture becomes serious and it works on “Animated cartoon and regional causing”.
Washimiyamachi known in the town of “* Suta” is an example of the Sonoyo table. Event “..bud.. Fes” of “Pain (Ita) car (plain gauze)” is opened for the first time in this summer. In addition, it seems to put power that “Saitama prefecture animated cartoon tourism advisory committee” is established.

– Is a famous place “Kasukabeshi. ” in the foreign tourist?
It is at June 24, 2009 that the sightseeing section in the saitama prefecture becomes a subject, and the 1st “Saitama prefecture animated cartoon tourism advisory committee” was opened. Argument lingua that how should be done to use animated cartoon and cartoon of prefecture for sightseeing promotion and regional promotion. It is a teacher it, cartoonist, and a moving image affiliate etc. of the university that chosen as the commissioner. Here, the idea of making school clothes the uniform of characters of ‘* Suta’ to lend the public institution that became empty as the negotiation to make the stage of the animated cartoon Saitama with a low forehead as a cartoon production room shot out.

Up to now, the saitama prefecture has poured zeal into the animated cartoon. Sightseeing site including an introduction of the animated cartoon that the saitama prefecture becomes a stage and detailed site information “Saitama-Tourist Association” is established in April, ’08. Site “..animated cartoon.. ..retreat.. Saitama” as the place of the animated cartoon creator from Saitama promotion was made in December.

Why did the saitama prefecture pay attention to the animated cartoon?I hear beautiful places few inside a prefecture according to the section of sightseeing in the saitama prefecture, and searches for “Something ..another.. ….”. B class gourmet promotion idea came out like “Chow mein of Fujinomiya”, too.
However, the definite one was famous ground in Japan that the foreign traveler knew. 2nd place is ..1st place.. Kasukabeshi in Mt. Fuji in case of a certain investigation. When having searched why Kasukabe, it is Iu in case of the influence of “Crayon Shin-chan” of the animated cartoon. The reason for “Shin” family is that the Kasukabe living.

The existence of “* Suta” is also larger. The Shinto shrine of the main character connection is “Washimiya Shinto shrine. ” from Saitama the author.
It came to visit the sightseeing that was called, the animated cartoon fan was “Pilgrimage to holy sites”, and the number of New Year’s visit to a shrine guests of “Washimiya Shinto shrine” increased from 130,000 people to 420,000 people for 09 years for 07 years. The animated cartoon is this and Iu when convinced that it becomes the sightseeing promotion and a regional promotion.
The animated cartoon that makes the saitama prefecture a stage is “Luff” and “Last inning. ” in there are “Aim at the ace” and “Hold it in a big way” of the other and a popular cartoon. ｢Go. The table tennis club in the rice plant. ｣There a lot.

– Washimiyamachi holds the event of “Pain car” in summer.
Other popular sites exist in the prefecture. Hero “Fountain” of “* Suta” lives in Satteshi.
The cartoon character merchandise etc. of the animated cartoon are sold in the shopping street in the same city. The parents’ home where original writer’s Mr. Mizno pattern had lived before was opened as “Studio Mizno pattern gallery Satte” in March, ’09.
Here is a model of the house of hero “”, and the room etc. that appear in the animated cartoon are reproduced.

Moreover, a spontaneous phenomenon has happened, too. For instance, Miyashiromachi that became Mecca of costume play event.
The next town in the stage of “* Suta”. “Pain (Ita) car (plain gauze)” that printed the animated cartoon and the character of the game in the body of the car came to gather from nationwide various places in case of Washimiyamachi. The event of “Because you ..bud.. Fes IN Washimiya 2009-are painful, -” is held in this town on July 18,’09. The purpose of deepening mutual understanding with the neighborhood by the alternating current of the pain car. “Pain car” owner’s registration fee is 2000 yen.
The gasoline ticket at 2000 cyclotomies that can be used in the town can be gotten.

In the sightseeing section in this prefecture, it is specified as it is because the young layer said, the resident is “Otaku” is faced as it is warm that the town rises by the animated cartoon like this.
｢Saitama is a gentle place to the animated cartoon fan. There are ‘It is in Washimiya to accept us next to Akihabara’ and a teller, too. ｣

I hear the idea that a sales improvement alone is not aimed but advancing in the form of “Live-and-let-live” is important though it will think about the animated cartoon as sightseeing promotion and a regional promotion in the future.
