The worst thing an anime fan can do is go to Japan. Because the Japan they want doesn't exist. I'm sure it's incredibly demoralizing.

The concept is known as "Paris Syndrome", which applies to the tendency that Japanese people get severely demoralized upon visiting the real Paris, France, after being exposed by their media an image of France that doesn't square with how it actually exists.
I suppose for Western otaku, that would translate as "Tokyo Syndrome".
As for me, I would really like to drive up and down and through the western half of the United States, just looking at and be in awe of the great landscape and geology there.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
