The number of foreign tourists to Japan has dropped more than 50% from the year-earlier for three consecutive months since the earthquake. JNTO will distribute 10,000 copies of Japan Anime Map in the US, China and South Korea to promote the tourism in Japan.

Your thoughts on this?
Seems like a great way to attract tourists since Haruhi and Lucky Star became very popular because of the western audience.
Would I go there?
Yes, I would.
