The anime film “Honey Tokyo” was created by a well known anime studio, ( STUDIO 4C), to promote Tokyo and various spots, like Akihabara, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku and Roppongi. The short film was commissioned by the Tokyo metropolitan government in hopes of promoting Tokyo and certain tourists locations to the rest of Japan and the world.

The short film, “Honey Tokyo,” revolves around a girl named Honey who is sent from the future in search of “pieces of happiness.”

She steals away people’s happiness and wipes away Tokyo’s charms.

A youth named Takeru takes her out on a tour of Tokyo that is intended for her to experience joy and wonder. She eventually has a change of heart.

The short anime can be viewed here in 8 different languages, Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, German, Italian, Spanish or French.

This isn’t the first time anime has been used to help promote Japan and it most likely won’t be the last time either.
