Kyōto Station
railway station and metro station in Kyōto, Kyōto Prefecture, Japan
Japan · 34.9856, 135.7586
Kyōto Station is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 3 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.
“For example, knowing they would never get permission, the scene where the character Uichi Shinkai is stabbed to death at Hiroshima Station was actually shot on the platform of Kyoto Station without permission, before the team left as quickly as possible.”
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Kyōto Station 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.
Named here by Kyōto Station’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Kyōto Station, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Drawn from this place
Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Kyōto Station 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.
