Anime & Manga

Japan’s anime and manga culture is a global phenomenon, offering fans immersive experiences that bring their favourite stories to life. Manga drawing classes let visitors learn the art of character design, shading, and inking under the guidance of professional artists. For a behind-the-scenes look at animation, studio tours in Tokyo, including the famed Studio Ghibli Museum, showcase original sketches, storyboards, and exclusive short films.

Anime culture extends to themed cafes and restaurants, where fans can dine in settings inspired by iconic series, from the charming Totoro Café to the action-packed Gundam Cafés. Meanwhile, cosplay experiences in Akihabara offer the chance to dress as beloved characters, complete with professional makeup, photography, and even participation in local cosplay events.

For a deeper exploration, anime and manga museums, like Tokyo’s Suginami Animation Museum and Kyoto’s International Manga Museum celebrate the evolution of Japan’s pop culture through interactive exhibits, vast manga collections, and live drawing sessions.

Whether sketching your own manga, stepping into a Studio Ghibli film, or cosplaying in the streets of Akihabara, Japan’s anime and manga scene offers an unforgettable journey into its vibrant creative world.
