Movies filmed in Hiroshima

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Hiroshima as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list β€” each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Filming locations inside Hiroshima

2 places inside Hiroshima, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Hiroshima too.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Hiroshima, 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 β€” two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

Drawn from this place

Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Hiroshima 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.
