[KineJapan] Film location for Ozu's 1959 version of 'Floating Weeds' ('Ukikusa') ...

[Maria Jose Gonzalez]

For this version of Weeds,Ozu chose what he called his second home,Mie Prefecture,where he had also attended school.
Locations for Ozu films are extremely easy to find with any Japanese search engine.
Locations for Floating Weeds:
Mie Prefecture: Shima-gun,Hamajima-cho,Daiou-cho,Ago-cho,Watarai-gun,Tamaru Station in Tamaki-cho.
Also,
Kanagawa Prefecture: Chigasakishi's coast
Hope this helps.

Also, a quick look at the Japanese Wikipedia reveals, that Ukigusa was mostly shot at various locations in Mie Prefecture and Chigasaki in Kanagawa Prefecture.

All the best,
