Ginza is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 4 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.
4 productions were filmed at 3 places inside Ginza rather than at Ginza itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
“The initial scenes are set in and around the Ginza area.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Ginza as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, and labelled as what it is, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.
- You Only Live Twice 1967
- Tokyo Story 1953
- House of Bamboo 1955
-
Love in Tokyo
1966
“The film was shot primarily in Japan at locations including Tokyo, Ueno, Ginza, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo International Airport and Hiroshima.” Wikipedia
Movies filmed elsewhere in Ginza
4 productions shot at 3 places inside Ginza, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Ginza itself.
- Momijigari Kabuki-za per Wikipedia 1903
- The Toxic Avenger Part II Kabuki-za per Wikipedia 1989
- Tokyo! Nakagin Capsule Tower per Wikipedia 2008
- Afraid to Die Sukiyabashi per Wikipedia 1960
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Ginza, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
Drawn from this place
Productions whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Ginza as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
