Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji is set along real places from Mannen Bridge and Nihonbashi in Tokyo to Hodogaya, Edo Bay off Kanagawa, Lake Suwa and the Fuji River at Kajikazawa.
The series was produced c. 1830 to 1832, and each plate names its place. The route follows seven of them, from the capital out toward the mountain. Several spots are only approximate, and the pins mark the nearest modern place.
Tamamo-no-Mae, the nine-tailed fox of Japanese legend, ends at the Sesshō-seki, the Killing Stone at Nasu, after a path through Yin Xu in China and Emperor Konoe's court in Kyoto.
The route follows the fox from Daji at the Shang court to the hunt on the Nasu plain, the poison stone and its scattered fragments. The legend names few exact places, so most pins are approximate.
Paranormasight se ambienta en el Sumida de la década de 1980, en Tokio, y se construye sobre los Siete Misterios de Honjo, historias de fantasmas de la era Edo vinculadas a lugares reales como el parque Kinshibori, el antiguo jardín Yasuda y Ryogoku.
El juego de Square Enix de 2023 convierte las leyendas en cuentas malditas que pasan a sus personajes. La ruta sigue su escena inicial y los antiguos emplazamientos de las leyendas. Se desconoce la ubicación exacta de las historias antiguas, por lo que varias chinchetas marcan el barrio.
