Lucca Comics & Games continues to enchant and amaze. Among the various areas dedicated to pop culture, Japan Town is one of the most evocative places of this edition, where every visitor can live an experience that seems to transport them directly to the East. Located slightly away from the historic center of Lucca, the pavilion attracts all fans of Japanese culture and manga.
As soon as you enter, you are immediately greeted by a typically oriental atmosphere. Traditional clothing, brightly colored lanterns and decorative home items bring to mind images of an authentic Japan with a few modern touches. Among the most fascinating products, there is no shortage of katanas, the famous samurai swords, available both as collector’s items and in decorative replicas.
Each stand tells a piece of this fascinating culture, and offers a vast choice of items: anime, manga, t-shirts, posters, and action figures. Walking among the various exhibitors is like taking a journey among the most loved characters and stories.
Returning to talking about action figures (three-dimensional models) in anime style, we can name the most present series:
One Piece: one of the most famous of all time, it tells the adventures of the pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his crew in search of the legendary treasure known as One Piece.
Naruto: another masterpiece, tells the story of the young ninja Naruto Uzumaki and his determination to become the leader of his village.
Jujutsu Kaisen: more recent but already cult series, in which a group of exorcists face evil spirits and supernatural mysteries in a constant struggle between good and evil.
League of Legends: famous video game that also influenced the world of animation, represented through detailed figures of its iconic characters.
Each stand displays items for collectors and fans, with t-shirts and gadgets dedicated to these series, allowing everyone to take home a piece of their passion.
At the side of the pavilion, a stop in the refreshment area will allow you to fully complete this Japanese experience. Here you can find various specialties inspired by oriental cuisine, with tasty options. It’s just the ideal place to relax and enjoy a break between one stand and another.
In our opinion, Japan Town is much more than a pavilion, we can define it as an immersive experience that brings Japan into the heart of Lucca Comics & Games. Walking through the various stands, you feel surrounded by a fascinating and vibrant culture, between tradition and modernity. This area proves to be an unmissable stop for those who want to completely immerse themselves in the magic of the East.
