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

[Bernardi, Joanne]

Dear colleagues,

I’m a faculty host for a tour to Japan this fall and putting together a list of films (readily accessible with subtitles) related to the locations and sites we’ll be visiting. The cities are Tokyo, Hakone,( Hida-)Takayama, Kanazawa, and Kyoto—some like Tokyo, Kyoto are easy but others not so much. Here’s what I’ve got to start:

TOKYO
Tokyo Story, Patlabor 2, the 1954 original Gojira and other recent ones, A Taxing Woman, Lost in Translation

KYOTO
Conflagration (Enjō, aka The Temple of the Golden Pavilion), Banshun, Lost in Translation

MT. FUJI-HAKONE
Ghidora the Three-Headed Monster (1964),  Laid Back Camp Movie (2022)

TAKAYAMA
Shinkai’s Kimi no na wa (2016)

KANAZAWA
Zero no shoten.

Suggestions for additional titles are welcome on or offline.

Thanks!

Joanne
