The relationship between hit TV anime Girls und Panzer and Ibaraki
Prefecture has been very strong indeed and the anime was recently awarded with
the prefecture’s Ibaraki Image Award for helping the area gain some much needed
tourism revenue which it gets from anime tourists and pilgrims who visit the
sites which were featured throughout the anime.
The town of Oarai, which is the home turf for the anime’s main characters
held the awarding ceremony at the local shopping district where locals were
quite enthusiastic. The Oarai Senshadou team, as well as some guests from Anzio
all lined up in a street to celebrate the event.
Miho Nishizumi’s voice actress, Mai Fuchigami was present during the
ceremony along with Girls und Panzer producer Kiyoshi Sugiyama. The prize was
awarded to Oarai town’s “Oarai GaruPan Project” which was responsible for the
rise in the prefecture’s tourism and it was awarded by the Ibaraki governor
himself, Akira Hashimoto.
The prefecture is also know for its beaches, and with summer already around
the corner, they stepped up their PR campaign and introduced a new poster
featuring the anime’s main characters. It was even signed by Mai Fuchigami!
Welcome to Oarai indeed…
