Most of what is posted here about Japan tourism concern kaiju fandom. On occasion, other forms of Japan otaku subcultures find their way here.
The latest is the top ten places in Japan where anime fans should visit. They are provided by SGCafe.
There is one place on their top ten list that overlaps kaiju fandom: Odaiba. Odaiba was primarily featured in Godzilla x Megaguirus (2000) and some of it was also shown in 2003's Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. Many kaiju fans are also fans of anime.

In other words, anime tourism is BIG in the country, so big that an anime pilgrimage guidebook has even been published.
