Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Higashiyama-ku 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.
Movies filmed elsewhere in Higashiyama-ku
2 productions shot at 3 places inside Higashiyama-ku, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Higashiyama-ku itself.
- Memoirs of a Geisha Kiyomizu-dera per Wikipedia 2005
- Wasabi Kiyomizu-dera per Wikipedia 2001
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Higashiyama-ku, 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.
