Have you noticed that many anime involve Tokyo City? Aaaand it's a beautiful city.  I do agree that you will get almost anything in Tokyo but it would be nice if we could get familiar with other parts of Japan through anime. Don't you guys feel the same?
Someday I wish to go Japan

It's kinda like the hub of animation and one of the largest cities in the world.

I agree but still it would be nice to see other parts of Japan.
Usually they don't even announce the place names....
 
It's the capital of Japan plus as Burnsy said because of areas like Akihabara. I mean we do get a lot of anime set in Kyoto and Hokkaido though, it's just that Tokyo is the most popular location there.

The the movies Your name and In this corner of the world they showed rural life in other parts of japan. There's plenty of other tv anime which shows scenes from other areas.

But you would never know their actual names. They would announce Tokyo name but they wouldn't say much about other area names.. . :sigh:

Hmm.... Makes sense.. But it's still disappointing
 
Well it is the biggest/important city in Japan, making it an easy relatable story location for most readers/watchers of the source material.

How is it disappointing? I don't see how everything being set in Tokyo makes you think like that. If you are sick of Tokyo there are hundreds of anime not set in there.

I just told you the name of two places. If you want anime not set in Tokyo take a peek at the posters if there's no city skyline it's not set in Tokyo.

Well, probably there are too many villages to take notice.
We will just have to go with the reference, remote area :D
