Tamayura

As a child, Fuu “Potte” Sawatari and her late father would often visit his hometown of Takehara and take pictures of the surroundings together. Now, five years since their last visit, Fuu and her family have moved to the town so that she can start attending high school. Although her father has been deceased for some time, Fuu carries on his legacy through her love of photography and the pictures she takes with his old camera. Fuu and her friends grab every opportunity they can to capture the magic of everyday life on film and bring happiness to someone in the world who might need it. (Adapted from MAL)

The locations featured across Tamayura, including its OVAs and manga, are spread across the Seto Inland Sea and the Miura Peninsula. Major cities include Onomichi, Takehara City, Yutaka-machi, Yokosuka City, and Kure. All these locations have been reproduced with a great attention to detail. Takehara City’s tourism association has latched strongly onto Tamayura. Tobidashi can be found in the Takehara shopping street and there are several posters near the inspiration for the Tamayura Cafe. The city tourism association offers a seichi map on its website in both Japanese and English.
