Promoting Japanese Culture at Anime North

2021/5/31
On May 30, the Consulate-General of Japan in Toronto took part in Anime North, the largest Japanese pop culture event in Canada, with a presentation by a Japan tourism expert, Mr. Andrew Massey. Mr. Massey’s presentation on anime tourism in Japan also served as a valuable promotion of Japanese culture.
 
He provided information on locations where famous anime and manga were set, as well as on tourism to Japan, including such fundamental aspects of traveling as planning itinerary, accommodation expenses, and transportation.
 
This year’s Anime North took place online as a stay-at-home version. Many participants were in attendance nonetheless, using the chat function to ask Mr. Massey many practical questions. The event served to promote interest in Japanese culture and tourism.
