This isn't the first time that this has happened; Lucky Star's Hiiragi twins lived at a shrine based on the oldest shrine in the Kanto region, in Washinomiya, which also experienced an immense surge in tourism. (Man, could someone sponsor me on a tour of these spots? I'd find the town that Haruhi's was based on and everything!)

"Really, how popular is that show? I know that the show look really nice but it was just a typical triangle love story."Ugh, I wouldn't expect much just by looking at it. But, who knows, it might be pretty good

I watched some anime or Asian shows, and feel like going to there to experience what anime/television shows don't offer. For example, I went to China and I love it there, the sight-seeing landmarks, the beautiful countryside, and especially, they treat you like a king there. It's more beautiful seeing what the real place looks like than in animation form. You will experience it when you go there.
