Saga Prefecture

prefecture of Japan

Japan · 33.2492, 130.2994

Saga 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.

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

Anime that take place here. Nothing drawn was ever filmed here, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood: a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
