[KineJapan] Films set in Takayama (Gifu) or Kanazawa; Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakone?

[Brian Ruh]

Hakone became Tokyo-3 in the Neon Genesis Evangelion series and films.
They've had various events in and around the area (like this from a few
years ago:

)

I've heard that redevelopment has meant that a number of locations shown in
the original don't match what is there now, but I'm sure there are still
sights to be seen around the city.
