TravelVacationBook is a travel guide for anime and gaming fans: the people who plan a year around MAGFest, Anime Expo or PAX, and who dream about a week in Akihabara.
What we cover
- US conventions: dates, hotel blocks, getting there, sold-out workarounds and what a con weekend really costs.
- Japan for fans: Tokyo and Osaka otaku districts, Ghibli and Pokémon spots, anime pilgrimage locations, rail passes and budgets.
How we keep guides accurate
Every guide is checked against official sources (convention websites, venue pages, ticket sites and transit operators) and shows a “Last verified” date at the top. Prices are given as ranges because hotel and airfare costs move constantly. When a detail isn’t announced yet, we say so instead of guessing.
For fan-pilgrimage spots, we’re clear about what is officially confirmed by a studio or town and what is fan association. We also ask readers to visit respectfully.
How the site is funded
Some links to hotel and flight search sites are affiliate links. If you book through them we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes what we recommend.
