Yamagata Dramas and Films

Below is an on-going list of Dramas and Films that were produced either fully, or partly in Akita Prefecture! I'm doing my best to compile more titles, so be sure to comment if I've missed any (which I'm sure I have!)

I referenced this Japanese wiki article (   Yamagata Prefecture Dramas and Films Wiki  ) for the initial creation of this list. Other resources I used are in the comments for each title as well.
