Kamichu! 2005

“It is the setting for the fantasy 2005 anime series Kamichu! which faithfully depicts many of the city's features and landmarks.” Wikipedia

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Onomichi, 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.

“Yakuza 6: The Song of Life takes place in winter 2016, and features two major settings: the Kamurochō district of Tokyo, and the Jingaicho district of Onomichi, Hiroshima.” Wikipedia

Drawn from this place

Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Onomichi 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.
