Where is 5 Centimeters Per Second set?

2007 anime film directed by Makoto Shinkai

Where it is set

Also per Japanese Wikipedia — “さいたま市を舞台としたアニメ作品” category

Japanese Wikipedia’s “さいたま市を舞台としたアニメ作品” category lists 1 more place. A category is an editor’s judgement rather than a sourced statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

Drawn from these real places

Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this anime’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.
