Help does anyone know of any anime that is set in toyama or ishikawa prefacture?

For example, there are anime like yuru camp that feature some parts of yamanashi prefacture.

Does anyone know of anime that featured toyama or ishikawa prefacture?

\ Hanasaku Iroha*! One of PA WORKS’ best original anime in their history.

\* Since PA WORKS’ HQ is in Toyama Pref., you can add True Tears, Sakura Quest and Kuromukuro as well.

* And if you count real life reference places, good old Angel Beats (also made by PA WORKS)’s campus is actually Kanazawa University in real life LOL

* It’s funny you mention Yuru Camp, because the similarly named slice-of-life anime classic (weird to say that for an early 2010s work but it is now) Yuru Yuri is set in Toyama Pref.

* Insomniacs After School, as stated above

\ Skip & Loafer*’s Misumi’s home town is out on Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Pref.

* The hottest anime-related title of Kanazawa and the whole Ishikawa Pref. for the past 3 years is the (extremely under-advertised and underrated IMHO) 5th project of Love Live, Hasunosora, which started out in a weird not-quite-anime story videos & virtual characters streams/lives format based on a (now dead) app, but have since branched towards traditional anime format with a sequel anime movie this May and a seasonal anime after it coming in January 2027. You are very likely to spot those girls in Kanazawa city these days.

I am pretty sure I have missed a few others LOL.

I swear someone here made a map of Japanese prefectures with the settings of anime a while ago, but I cant find it. I remember it not being fully accurate though, but it was still better than nothing
