Background

Biography

Yuhei Yamada is a writer based in Fukuoka, Japan, covering anime pilgrimage: the real-life locations behind anime and manga. He runs JAPANOTAKU, where he writes on-the-ground guides for overseas fans planning trips to Japan, and travels to the locations himself rather than compiling them from other sources.

Fun Fact

He has visited every location he writes about himself, and still thinks the staircase at Suga Shrine is the closest an anime location has ever come to matching its drawing.
