Where is K-On! set?
Japanese manga series
K-On! (2007) is not pinned on this map. Wikidata records no setting for this manga. What is below is the weaker claim its Japanese Wikipedia article makes: the real places its setting was modelled on. Where the manga takes place, not where it was made: a manga is drawn and filmed nowhere, so this is the only kind of location it has.

Drawn from these real places
Nothing was filmed at these and the story does not happen in them. They are the real places this manga’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 K-On! filmed anywhere?
No. A manga 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.
