Japan

Buzzing, well-ordered megacities. Peaceful countryside with snow-capped mountain backdrops and rivers criss-crossing the landscape. Traditional samurai, geisha and merchant neighborhoods, Castles, gardens, Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines. From north to south, Japan offers filmmakers a wealth of locations. More complicated shoots involving setting up track / lights and controlling traffic are much more difficult to permit and require more lead time.  Japan is a relatively expensive place to shoot certainly compared to the rest of Asia. Japan has a good local pool of directors, directors of photography and stills photographers although not many speak fluent English. There is a good depth of experienced creative and technical crews.
