Movies filmed in Nakano

2 productions shot at 2 places inside Nakano, each named beside it. No statement names Nakano itself, so everything here is recorded against somewhere inside it.

• Lost in Translation Jōgan-ji Temple per Wikipedia 2003
• You Only Live Twice Nakano-shimbashi Station per Wikipedia 1967

Drawn from this place

Manga whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Nakano 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.
