Anime Travel 8 – Lucky Star in Real Life

Entrance of the Washinomiya shrine

I just realized that I have not posted another pilgrimage article for more than half a year I will try my best to continue writing these posts. For the next spot, was the famous classic anime considered as one of the trend-setters for "cute girls doing cute things" genre, "Lucky Stars". This should be a rather short post.

The real-life location of this anime is located in Washinomiya, Kuki City, Saitama Pref. It might take around 1 hour from Tokyo Skytree to come to this area. From all of the places I have visited, I think this place was the most "anime-ish" place by far due to how old and legend the anime had become.

Local shop here sure had a great taste.

I think that's all for this post. I know it's a bit short compared to the other posts, but if I have other time visit Japan, I will add this post even with more content!
