Q. What if more than one “Japanese Anime 88-Spots Certification Plaque” appears in one photo?
A. We will count the number of plates. However, if there are multiple posts for the same "Japanese Anime 88-Spots Certification Plaque", it will be counted as one.
Q. Can I split an Achievement Report into several parts?
A. In principle, there is no problem if the posting schedule satisfies the conditions, 2 plates (one-star tourist), 5 plates (two-star tourist), and 10 plates (three-star tourist) that are the achievement conditions. However, if the number of reports increases (for example, you report every time you add one plate), it will take time from verification to certification, so we recommend submitting an Achievement Report after 2, 5 and 10 plates.
Q. I don't know how many Achievement Reports I made, can you tell me?
A. We can confirm the number of individual plaques only when your achievement is certified. The number of plates is specified in the reply email to an Achievement Report, so please do not delete this email.
