NIAFF WORCOS -World Cosplay Tour in Niigata International Animation Film Festival

Niigata International Animation Film Festival cosplay event. A cosplay tour of Important Cultural Properties and famous sites around Niigata.

Enjoy a cosplay photoshoot tour of Niigata, an international port city with a rich history.

The architecture of Niigata City History Museum Minatopia combines Japanese and Western history. The Shinanogawa Water Shuttle offers extraordinary photo opportunities with the Important Cultural Property of Bandai Bridge in the background. The Northern Culture Museum was the residence of the Ito family, the foremost landowners of Niigata. Zoshunkaku in the Koji Fukiya Memorial Museum of Art, Shibata City is a guest house that was visited by Shibusawa Eiichi, the “father of Japanese capitalism” who is featured on the new 10,000 yen banknote. Have fun along with Japanese cosplayers at Gataket, a cosplay and fanzine event that will also be held once a month while the tour is held. Try Niigata’s food culture at Mikasaya, a Japanese restaurant with rock-lined corridors that make a unique backdrop for photos. This tourist plan includes visits to other Important Cultural Properties and historic sites all over the prefecture for the best cosplay experience. The town and its people warmly welcome cosplayers. We highly recommend the tour for cosplayers who are looking to take part in their first international event. You can individually book the places you want to go, or visit them all in a single package. Let the world cosplay tour begin!
