Drawn from this place

Manga whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Washimiya 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.

    “Washimiya was famous for Washinomiya Shrine, one of the oldest shrines in the Kanto Region, and is the setting of Lucky Star, which causes otaku tourism.” Wikipedia
