Shibuya

special ward in the Tokyo Metropolis in Japan

🇯🇵 Japan · 35.6637, 139.6977

Shibuya is recorded as a filming location for 1 production. Wikidata records these shoots at town level — somewhere in Shibuya, rather than at one identified spot. 3 video games and 2 anime are also set here.

5 productions were filmed at 16 places inside Shibuya rather than at Shibuya itself — listed below, each with the place it was shot.

“The use of video cameras (MiniDV) was primarily due to the need for mobility on set, as the entire production was done on location in Shibuya.”

Set here

Video games and Anime that take place here. None of them is filmed anywhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason. The rows marked per its source work are placed by the book they adapt rather than by a statement of their own.

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Shibuya, 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.

Drawn from this place

Manga whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Shibuya 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.
