Kobe

capital city of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

🇯🇵 Japan · 34.6902, 135.1954

Kobe is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia article of 1 production — 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. 1 manga is also set here.

2 productions were filmed at 6 places inside Kobe rather than at Kobe itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“Scenes were also filmed in various locations across Japan, including Fukushima, Kobe, and Toho Studios in Tokyo.”

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Kobe 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 and TV series filmed elsewhere in Kobe

2 productions shot at 6 places inside Kobe, each named beside it. Separate from the list above, which is what Wikidata records against Kobe itself.

Set here

Manga that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Kobe, 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

Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Kobe 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.
