A Wiltshire bed and breakfast has become a hit with Japanese tourists after it became the inspiration for a popular TV cartoon.<\/p>\n

Fosse Farmhouse near Castle Combe is the setting for the Japanese animated series Kinmoza, which attracts more than five million viewers.<\/p>\n

Owner Caron Cooper said the show has led to more than half of her guests coming from Japan every year. <\/p>\n

Ms Cooper said it began after a chance meeting with a Japanese couple in 1989.<\/p>\n

Shozo and Yasuko Mitani told her visiting the four-star farmhouse was "like falling through a tunnel in Alice in Wonderland".<\/p>\n

They returned to Japan with the idea of setting up their own English-themed bed and breakfast where they displayed photographs of Fosse Farmhouse.<\/p>\n

This led to the guesthouse being featured in a popular magazine and Ms Cooper becoming well-known in Japan.<\/p>\n

'Quintessentially British'<\/h2>\n

In 2012, comic book Kiniro-Mosaic, also known as Kinmoza, was published.<\/p>\n

Based on Ms Cooper's life at Fosse Farmhouse the story centres on a teenage girl called Alice Cartelet who lives there.<\/p>\n

The comic was so successful it was turned into a TV series and film made using the hand-drawn animation technique know as anime.<\/p>\n

Studio Gokumi converted filmed footage of Fosse Farmhouse into animated frames for the series.<\/p>\n

Kinmoza fan Yuki Inoue from Tokyo said the series is so popular because Japanese people especially like the "quintessentially British countryside of the Cotswolds".<\/p>\n

Ms Cooper said the story is "unbelievable but true", and "just like Alice in Wonderland it's getting curiouser and curiouser."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
