Yamagata Prefecture

prefecture of Japan

Japan · 38.2404, 140.3636

Yamagata Prefecture is on this map as a whole region rather than as a place, because Wikidata records 1 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 29 places inside Yamagata Prefecture rather than at Yamagata Prefecture itself: listed below, each with the place it was shot.

Movies filmed in Yamagata Prefecture

7 productions shot at 29 places inside Yamagata Prefecture, each named beside it. No statement names Yamagata Prefecture itself, so everything here is recorded against somewhere inside it.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Yamagata 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.
