TOKYO -- Kadokawa, a big Japanese publisher, is beckoning anime lovers to Japan. Actually, it is trying to make pilgrims out of them.
In February, Kadokawa opened an information center inside its office building in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward. That information center is now Fudasho Stop 1, a guidepost of sorts that marks the beginning of a trail of 88 "holy sites" that the Anime Tourism Association suggests should be visited.
