English-first anime pilgrimage In active development
Find the real places behind the stories you love.
Project Meguri is an interactive map and practical field guide for seichi junrei — visiting the real-world locations behind anime, manga, and games, and doing it respectfully.
What it is
One map that connects fiction to the real world.
Anime-location knowledge is scattered across blogs, social posts, and Japanese-language sites. Project Meguri brings it into one accessible, English-first guide — so you can research, plan, and go.
Titles
Anime, films, manga, games, visual novels, and live-action works — grouped under broader franchises where it helps.
Locations
Real places tied to those titles through scenes, inspiration, or production — each with coordinates, access, and visit notes.
Capabilities
A field guide, not just a pin board.
Project Meguri helps you understand not only where a location is, but how to reach it and what to expect when you arrive.

- Practical access detailsNearest station, walking time, directions, viewpoints, and photography tips for each spot.
- Always currentClear status flags when a place has changed, closed, or is no longer accessible.
- Built on respectEtiquette guidance for homes, schools, and businesses so visits stay welcome.
Responsible pilgrimage
These places are someone's everyday life.
Many locations sit near homes, schools, and small businesses. Project Meguri builds respectful visiting into the guidance itself, so the communities behind these stories stay welcoming to the fans who come next.
- Stay in public areas and follow local rules.
- Keep quiet and avoid disturbing residents.
- Respect photography limits and private property.
Built by fans — and growing with the community.
Project Meguri is an independent, English-first platform operated by Meguri LLC. It is in active development, shaped by a small team and by fans who contribute new places, photos, and status updates. We would love your help.
