About Girls und Panzer
A TV anime set in a world where "tankery," a martial art using tanks, is considered a refined pursuit for young women, in which Miho Nishizumi, who has transferred to Oarai Girls' Academy, takes on the national tournament with her friends.
The setting is Oarai, Ibaraki Prefecture, and the Oarai Tourism Association has published the "Oarai Urban Battle Strategy Map," which matches scenes in the series with places in the town. The center of town, including Oarai Station, Oarai Marine Tower, and the area around Oarai Isosaki Shrine, was depicted as the setting of tank battles.
