Where it is set
-
🏙 Towns & cities
Tokyo
🇯🇵 Japan
capital and largest city of Japan
“Steins;Gate takes place in the Akihabara district of Tokyo.” Wikipedia
Also per Wikipedia's Setting and themes section
Wikipedia’s Setting and themes section names 1 more place. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.

🏙 Towns & cities
Akihabara
🇯🇵 Japan
Neighborhood/district of Chiyoda ward, Tokyo
“Steins;Gate is set in the summer of 2010, approximately one year after the events that took place in Chaos;Head, in Akihabara.” Wikipedia
Places whose own article says it is set there
2 places whose own Wikipedia article names this game, where Wikidata records nothing and this game’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.
