Anime location
Karatsu Station (official pilgrimage map)
The station appears in the series, and the tourist office inside still hands out the official pilgrimage map free.
Karatsu Station is where the main character arrives home, and it is also the practical starting point: the tourist information office distributes the official Yuri!!! on ICE pilgrimage map, produced with the series, which locates the rest of the sites around the town.
Why it is worth it
An official map, free, in a real tourist office, is rare for anime pilgrimage. It removes the need to piece the trip together from fan blogs.
When to go
Quiet.
Good to know
Do this first. Ask at the counter for the pilgrimage map by name — supply has continued but stock is not guaranteed, so go early in the day.
Yuri!!! on ICE
The station he comes home to, and where the official map is handed out.
