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.
