Anime location
Oizumi Anime Gate
Life-size bronzes of Astro Boy, Joe Yabuki, Tetsuro and Maetel, and Lum, on the deck outside the station.
A plaza on the pedestrian deck outside Oizumi-Gakuen station, marking the district as the birthplace of Japanese animation production. It holds life-size bronze statues of Astro Boy, Joe Yabuki from Tomorrow's Joe, Tetsuro and Maetel from Galaxy Express 999, and Lum from Urusei Yatsura.
Why it is worth it
It is free, outdoors and open at any hour, and it is right outside the station you use for the Toei museum — so the two are one trip.
When to go
Quiet.
Good to know
Do this on the way to or from the Toei Animation Museum, which is 15 minutes away on foot. Nerima ward publishes an anime map of the area.
