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.
Movies filmed in Saga Prefecture
2 productions shot at 4 places inside Saga Prefecture, each named beside it. No statement names Saga Prefecture itself, so everything here is recorded against somewhere inside it.

- Rurouni Kenshin Saga per Wikipedia 2012
Set here
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.
