city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
🇯🇵 Japan · 35.3087, 138.9346
Gotemba is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 2 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.
“According to Donald Richie, the scene could not be completed because the ants were at the wrong altitude, and was only finished after the crew moved the location of the shoot from Gotemba to sea-level Kyoto.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Gotemba 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.
- Rhapsody in August 1991
-
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster
1964
“The film was shot on various locations, such as Mount Aso, Yokohama, Gotenba, and Ueno Park.” Wikipedia
Drawn from this place
Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Gotemba 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.
