There’s something about the sunshine, warmer weather and clear blue skies of summer that has us dreaming of going on vacation. It sets off all of these signals inside us that say, “Go off on an adventure!” And in real life, we have plenty of beautiful places to see in the world, from tropical to metropolitan and even historical.

But the vast worlds of anime, well, we can’t physically go to these places, although we wish we could! For this piece, I want to talk about five anime worlds that would be great vacation spots. Some are within a realm of possibility, while others are beyond our realm of existence!

So grab your passports and let’s get traveling!


That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

The fantasy world of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime would be an excellent choice for a vacation spot. With its lush, green landscapes packed with beautiful flowers and wildlife, there’s plenty to explore, like awe-inspiring waterfalls and natural hot springs!

But if the outdoors aren’t really your thing, you can also stay in one of the many villages that feature traditional Japanese architecture! These villages have sleeping accommodations, scrumptious food and bathhouses!

If you really think about it, Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear protagonist Yuna is already kinda on vacation herself. She was just a regular school girl until she found herself inside her favorite game, World Fantasy Online.

The once indifferent girl is now happy and jolly! And this video game world could do the same for you! For starters, it has adorable bears…who can talk to you. They’ll join you on your adventure of completing fun missions that often involve helping out royalty.

This vacation comes complete with a Victorian-style village stay and a castle. After a few missions and a visit to the royal palace, you can make your way to a relaxing beach with a sea that looks like it’s made of melting sapphire, glittering as it washes upon the shore.

Um, there may be, like a squid who wants to fight, but it’s nothing your talking bears can’t handle.

APPARE-RANMAN! follows a group of racers as they compete across America for an epic prize and glory. It’s a bit of a steampunk/early 20th century world, as Appare and his samurai partner Kosame work to find their way back to Japan.
