Many places in Kyoto are used as a shooting for the TV dramas and movies



In Kyoto there are many places TV dramas and movies were filmed.
Actually, Chion-in temple(知恩院)which is 5 min walk from A-yado was used in the filming of the Tom Cruise movie "The Last Samurai".

When i watched TV period drama few days ago, many famous sightseeing places in Kyoto such as  Tatumibashi(巽橋),Shirakawa(白川),Yasaka shrine(八坂神社) were used as a shooting place for that.
When i watched that, i felt very happy.
Because if someone watch this drama, they might want to come to Kyoto to visit those places.
I hope that Kyoto city will be more famous and many people will come to Kyoto.

If you like Japanese TV dramas and movies, check the places they are filmed.
You will enjoy your trip more if you know that.
