Nagano Prefecture
prefecture of Japan
Japan · 36.6513, 138.1809
Nagano Prefecture is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 3 anime and 4 manga as set here and nothing finer. The dot sits at its centre, which is not where anything happens: it stands in for the whole area. Nothing is claimed to have been filmed at this point, and no film or series is placed this way anywhere on the atlas.
16 productions were filmed at 54 places inside Nagano Prefecture rather than at Nagano Prefecture itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.
Movies filmed in Nagano Prefecture

Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Nagano Prefecture, 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.
