==Filming== Filming of You Only Live Twice lasted from July 1966 to March 1967. The film was shot primarily in Japan. * Tokyo: After arriving in Japan at Akime, Bond goes to Tokyo. The initial scenes are set in and around the Ginza area. ** The Hotel New Otani Tokyo served as the outside for Osato Chemicals, and the hotel's gardens were used for scenes of the ninja training. ** A car chase using the Toyota 2000GT and a Toyota Crown was largely filmed in the area around the Olympic Stadium used previously for the 1964 Summer Olympics. ** Tokyo Tower and the centre of Tokyo can be briefly seen in a sequence where the villain's car is dropped in Tokyo Bay. ** Tanaka's private subway station was filmed at the Tokyo Metro's Nakano-shimbashi Station. ** A sumo wrestling match was filmed at Tokyo's sumo hall, the Kuramae Kokugikan; this has since been demolished. * Kobe Docks appears in a sequence when Bond investigates the ship Ning-Po, and is involved in a fight. * Bond's wedding at a Shinto Shrine was filmed in Nachi. * Himeji Castle in Hyōgo Prefecture was depicted as Tanaka's ninja training camp. * The village of Bonotsucho Akime was where Bond and his Ama wife lived and where the Ama scenes were shot. * The ryokan Shigetomi-so (now known as Shimazu Shigetomisoh Manor) was used as the exterior of Tanaka's house. * Kagoshima Prefecture was the location for various scenes depicting Little Nellie (see below). * Mount Shinmoe-dake in Kyūshū was used for the exteriors of SPECTRE's headquarters.
