Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationship between local residents and tourists visiting the location of scenes used in animation and manga. In this analysis, a new tourism framework called “next generation tourism” is adopted. First, the author defines next generation tourism and shows how it can be used as a valid framework for analysis. Second, a triangle-model for tourism motivated by animation is adopted. The author identifies three stages in the relationship between the local residents and animation tourists through the study of the location of scenes used in the manga “Lucky☆Star” in Washimiya, Saitama prefecture. The first stage is called “The Stage of Satisfaction for Taste,” the second is “The Stage of Understanding and Collaboration,” and the third is “The Stage of Participation and Cooperation.” Next, the author makes a study of the city of Johana in Toyama prefecture. It is used as a location in the anime “true tears.” The author chronologically lists the events in the history in Johana in the context of this anime and the local culture there. The three stages of the relationship between the local residents and animation tourists are adopted for analysis. During the course of this study, Yuushi-kai, one of the “true tears” fan groups, and P.A. Works, the maker of “true tears” were found to have contributed greatly to the local culture of Johana. This research has two main conclusions. One, we can confirm that the three stages of the relationship between the local residents and tourists in Johana described above are formed and are functioning steadily. From this relationship, we can say that next generation tourism exists in Johana. We can also confirm that the local culture, history, and traditions of Johana are influenced by three contributing factors—local residents, animation tourists, and artists/animators. Finally, the author presents a evidence for the relationship in Johana between these three actors based on the triangle-model for tourism motivated by animation.”
