Drawn from this place

Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Jiufen 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.

  • Spirited Away 2001
    “Jiufen also became popular in 2001 due to its resemblance to the downtown in the Japanese anime movie Spirited Away by Studio Ghibli, which attracted Japanese tourists.” Wikipedia
