Movies filmed at Yakushima
Drawn from this place
Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Yakushima 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.
