Japanese history and anime overlap in the popular anime and mobile game series Touken Ranbu, which has continued to gain popularity in Japan over the past several years. Interest in the series, and to some extent, the history connected to it, is at an all-time high. That makes now the perfect time for less-visited areas of Japan to use anime to try to draw in tourists, which is exactly what Fukuyama City in Hiroshima Prefecture is doing.
