Written and directed by filmmaker Sophia Coppala, Lost in Translation is one of the more famous Western movies set in Japan. Starring Bill Murray and a young Scarlett Johansson, Lost in Translation takes place in weird and wonderful Tokyo, and sees Charlotte (Johansson) tagging along with Bob, her photographer husband (Murray). In between Bob’s adv...
Perhaps the most well-known anime feature film of all time, Akira is a movie based on the 1982 manga series of the same name. Now, we’re definitely not saying that we’d want to visit the exact version of Japan that Akira takes place in; the imagined Neo-Tokyo of 2019 is full of dystopian qualities like biker gangs and rampant inequality that are ce...
In a similar vein to Akira, the Japan in 1954’s Godzilla is not necessarily one we’d want to visit, but there are few more important films set in Japan than this one. More than three decades before Akira tapped into the country’s nuclear anxiety, Godzilla did it first, telling a parable about the dangers of nuclear anxiety and panic. The film, dire...
This entry too, we suppose, is a bit of a stretch, as the Disney animated film actually takes place in a fictional amalgamation of San Francisco and Tokyo named San Fransokyo, but we think that the world of Big Hero 6 is exciting enough on its own to be included on this list. And, there’s no other movie, certainly no animated travel movie, that cap...
Directed by French New Wave director Alain Resnais, and written by celebrated writer Marguerite Duras, Hiroshima Mon Amour is another film with ties to Japan’s atomic history, though, unlike Godzilla or Akira, Hiroshima Mon Amour is a quieter, pensive film about a romantic relationship between an unnamed man and an unnamed woman. Hiroshima serves a...
A classic of world cinema and one of the best Japanese films ever made, Seven Samurai is legendary director Akira Kurosawa’s four-hour masterpiece. Telling the wise-reaching, sprawling story of seven samurai and their quest to defend a small farming town from bandits, Seven Samurai is, like Godzilla, a touchstone of Japanese history and a must-watc...
The fifth James Bond film, You Only Live Twiceis a far less serious film than many on this list, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have some fantastic travel destinations on display. Starring the ever-iconic Sean Connery, You Only Live Twice sees Bond teaming up with the Japanese Secret Service in order to track down missing spacecraft of the C...
There may be no better modern movie to inspire a trip to Japan than Jiro Dreams of Sushi, a 2011 documentary about an 85-year-old sushi master named Jiro Ono. The film, which proves that with the right filmmaker and the right subject a film can be made about just about anything, explores Ono’s renowned Tokyo restaurant as well as his relationship w...
The third Fast and the Furious film might not seem like the most accurate movie adaptation of a trip to Japan and … well, it probably isn’t. However, that doesn’t mean that the action movie completely misses the mark and, like we said with James Bond, sometimes you don’t want a film about the consequences of nuclear fallout, you just want one that ...
Rounding out our list is a somewhat obscure comedy from the early 90s called Mr. Baseball. The film stars Tom Selleck as Jack Elliot, a once-great baseball player whose gruff and egotistical ways make waves once he’s forced to play in Japan instead of the United States. Mr. Baseball is fairly light entertainment as well, though there are definitely...
