OTABiS - Anime Pilgrimage

OTABiS is a map app for anime pilgrimage ("seichi junrei") — visiting the real places that appear in anime. It covers 14,000+ locations across Japan, organized by work, together with up-to-date listings of collaboration cafés and pop-up shops. Available in English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. FIND LOCATIONS - Browse spots by work and see their position and reference image on the map - Episode references and data sources shown for each spot - One search for works, spots and collab events COLLAB INFO - Collaboration cafés, pop-up shops and campaigns across Japan, listed by work from official announcements - Filter by ongoing / starting soon, by type and by prefecture - See participating venues on the map and add them straight to your trip plan. Turn on the Collab layer from the map's layer menu to show them alongside pilgrimage spots - Mobile-game collabs and area-wide campaigns without a fixed venue are listed with their official source - Listings are removed automatically when the event ends.
