Where was Lost in Translation filmed?

This quiet, jet-lagged portrait of connection made Tokyo feel like a character in its own right, and that atmosphere is exactly what keeps drawing travellers to it. Rather than big set pieces, the film trades in mood: the strange intimacy of a foreign city at night, the comfort of an unlikely friendship, the beauty of feeling a little adrift.

Much of that mood lives in real places. The hushed top-floor New York Bar at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, with its skyline wall of glass, is where the two leads meet over whisky and insomnia. Out in the streets, the vast scramble of Shibuya Crossing, a sea of people moving beneath giant screens, captures the film's gorgeous sense of disorientation. Both sit in Tokyo, Japan.

Fans can bookend a day between the two: lose themselves in the crowds and neon of Shibuya by night, then retreat to that high hotel bar for a drink with the city glittering below. It is an easy, evocative pairing, and a fitting way to feel the film's particular spell over modern Tokyo.
