Where is Whisper of the Heart set?

1995 anime film directed by Yoshifumi Kondō

Whisper of the Heart (1995) is not pinned on this map. Wikidata records no setting for this anime. What is below is the weaker claim its Japanese Wikipedia article makes: the real places its setting was modelled on. Where the anime takes place, not where it was made: an anime is drawn and filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Part of the Studio Ghibli Feature Films film series

Drawn from these real places

Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this anime’s setting was modelled on, named in its Japanese Wikipedia article. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, so it is listed apart from everything above and never counted as a filming location.

Frequently asked questions

Was Whisper of the Heart filmed anywhere?

No. An anime is drawn and filmed nowhere, so the places on this page are where its story is set, from Wikidata's narrative location and from Wikipedia's setting categories.

Where does this information come from?

Narrative location statements on Wikidata, and the setting categories Wikipedia editors file the work under, which are labelled per Wikipedia. Nothing is guessed from the plot.
