A map of where anime and manga are set rather than filmed, because nothing is filmed in a drawn show. 568 titles, 589 real places, 39 countries.

It has Washinomiya Shrine for Lucky Star and Hida-Furukawa Station for Your Name. It has nothing at all for Attack on Titan or One Piece, Slam Dunk is only Hiroshima, and about half the map is still just a city rather than the actual spot. (Working on it)

I have not gotten to the rest yet. If you know an exact spot, tell me and I might be able add it.

    A couple of very random locations otherwise unmarked:

    The early episodes of Vinland Saga take place in Iceland, making it, I think, the only anime set there to date. I can’t remember whether they ever give a town name or not.

    While most of the series takes place in London, England, one of the Moriarty the Patriot OAVs is set in Bath.

      Also, Kami no Shizuku/Drops of God has now been to the Matterhorn, California’s Napa Valley, Adelaide in Australia (with a brief labeled shot of Ayers Rock for extra), and what I think was Uyghur territory in China.
