グラスリップ
A glass artisan girl and a transfer student. Set in Mikuni, Fukui. By P.A.WORKS.
Synopsis
"Glasslip" is an original TV anime produced by P.A.WORKS, broadcast in 2014. It is set in Mikuni, Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture. Centered on Toko Fukami, a girl born into a family that runs a glass workshop, it depicts a group of high schoolers spending summer in a seaside town. Friendship, budding romance, and uncertainty about the future—the wavering emotions unique to adolescence—are woven with luminous visuals and delicate psychological detail. A poetic work that captures the shifting seasons and the events of a single summer in the lives of its young characters.
Why visit the real-life locations
Mikuni in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture, is a pilgrimage town where Glasslip's seaside scenery remains intact. The rugged cliffs of Tojinbo and the sunset-lit Mikuni Sunset Beach are landscapes that symbolize the series. Follow Mikuni-Minato Station on the Echizen Railway, the red-railed Mikuni Shrine, and the atmospheric former Morita Bank to breathe in the air of Toko's town. With the quiet grounds of Ryutan-ji Temple, Oshima Island offshore, the Mikuni Port breakwater, and the Mikuni Onsen Yuapoot, you can leisurely tour a townscape where sea and history live on.
