Introduction: About Me
Hello! My name is Mei, a 23-year-old otaku girl working at a small travel agency in Osaka. During the weekends, I also work part-time at a maid cafe, combining my hobbies with my job. I love anime, manga, and games, and immerse myself in these worlds every day. Through this blog, I aim to share the charm of Japan’s otaku culture and hidden tourist spots with people from all over the world.
Why I Fell in Love with Japanese Otaku Culture
Since childhood, I’ve loved anime and manga, but Japanese otaku culture has a special allure. The depth and diversity of this culture are unlike anything from other countries, and it’s truly unique to Japan. Anime, manga, and games aren’t just entertainment—they often have a deep impact on people’s lives.
Personally, anime has helped me grow, I read manga with friends, I became absorbed in the world of games, and I realized how deeply embedded otaku culture is in Japanese society. This made me want to share the charm of Japanese otaku culture with people around the world, which is why I started this blog.
The Theme and Goal of This Blog
On this blog, I will focus on sharing Japan's otaku culture, subculture, tourist spots, and anime pilgrimage sites. My mission is to convey the "true charm of Japan." I’ll be sharing not only popular tourist spots and food culture but also hidden gems that aren’t in typical travel guides—places that locals know best.
I’ll also introduce real-life anime pilgrimage spots, places featured in anime and manga, and how otaku fans can visit them. I hope to share the reasons why anime and manga are so beloved worldwide and the joy of visiting these authentic sites.
My Job and Hobbies
I work in the travel industry, so I have a deep passion for Japan’s tourist spots and cultural experiences. I’m fortunate enough to help foreign visitors explore Japan, and it’s truly fulfilling to share the beauty of my country with people from all over the world.
On the weekends, I also work part-time at a maid cafe. It’s a fun and unique job that allows me to embrace Japan's subculture. The maid cafe is a must-visit for foreign tourists, and I love being part of this distinctive culture, where I can interact with customers and share a piece of Japan’s otaku world with them.
