Anitabi: Find Real-Life Locations Featured in Your Favorite Anime 108

Anitabi (Anime Pilgrimage Map) is a tool designed for anime enthusiasts. It allows you to look up the real-world locations featured in anime as well as matching screenshots. It includes a wealth of pilgrimage information for many anime and manga works, making it easy to search.

Core Features

• Smart Search: Search by work or character — enter an anime title, character name, or voice actor to bring up related screenshots and locations; or search by city or landmark — enter a place name or coordinates to find the corresponding filming location; you can also choose the latest updates, recent new releases, or popular works from the dropdown menu.

• Dual-Screen Synergy: The left side shows anime scene screenshots, marked with the episode number and timestamp, while the right side synchronously displays the real-world filming location, where you can switch between Street View and satellite imagery.

• Route Planning: Select multiple locations, and the tool will automatically generate the optimal walking, subway, or bus route. You can also export a KML file to use in Google Earth or Amap.

Other Features

Users can click a spot on the map to submit a landmark screenshot, which will be displayed once approved; they can also mark the number of pilgrimage works in each prefecture online, generate an image to share, and use the built-in online tool to compare anime scenes with real-life locations.

Data Coverage

Includes filming locations from over 5,000 anime works worldwide, from Japan to China, covering everything from classic series to the latest popular hits.

Use Cases

Great for looking up anime filming locations and planning trips, helping fans find the real-world prototypes of anime scenes to visit in person. Travel agencies can also use it to plan anime-themed tourism routes.
