CATDOLL: "Love Live! Sunshine! !" pilgrimage to the holy land caused a sensation, and a 54-year-old fan came in person

In order to attract more tourists, Uchiura Bay in Shizuoka Prefecture promoted the "pilgrimage" by using the prototype of "Love Live! Sunshine! !" as a selling point. In a short period of time, this place received a large number of tourists.

Shizuoka's largest newspaper, Shizuoka Shimbun, used the title "National Fan Pilgrimage to the Holy Land" to detail the phenomenon that "Love Live! Sunshine! !" has greatly increased the number of tourists. It also used the theme train as an introduction to deeply analyze the reasons for the popularity of "Love Live! Sunshine! !" - "Based on the super popular virtual idol project, the TV animation will be broadcast this summer, describing the struggle stories of high school girls." It also repeatedly emphasized that the prototype of this work is Uchiura Bay in Numazu City, thereby arousing the interest and curiosity of comic fans in the "pilgrimage to the holy land".

Shizuoka Shimbun's "Pilgrimage" report

During the holiday from May 1 to 8, the Uchiura Bay Tourism Bureau received thousands of visitors, most of whom were male tourists aged 20 to 30. A 30-year-old tourist from Aichi Prefecture said, "This is my first time in Numazu City, and I will take a good look at the surrounding attractions."

It is worth noting that there are some "older fans" as old as 54 among the "pilgrimage" tourists. Mr. Asano from Kanagawa Prefecture said that "it was very pleasant to communicate with the local residents" and "bought a lot of local specialties." I wonder how his family would react when they learned that he has such a hobby?
