Niigata Prefecture

prefecture of Japan

Japan · 37.9025, 139.0232

Niigata Prefecture is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 1 anime 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.

3 productions were filmed at 4 places inside Niigata Prefecture rather than at Niigata Prefecture itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

Movies filmed in Niigata Prefecture

3 productions shot at 4 places inside Niigata Prefecture, each named beside it. No statement names Niigata Prefecture itself, so everything here is recorded against somewhere inside it.

• The Ballad of Narayama Hida Mountains per Wikipedia 1983
• Earthquake Bird Sado Island per Wikipedia 2019
• The Last Dinosaur Japanese Alps per Wikipedia 1977

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Niigata 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.
