Okinawa Prefecture
prefecture of Japan
Japan · 26.2122, 127.6808
Okinawa Prefecture is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 3 anime and 2 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.
7 productions were filmed at 13 places inside Okinawa Prefecture rather than at Okinawa Prefecture itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

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