Did similar earlier this year. Had this track playing when exploring temples etc in Kyoto. Lost in Translation ignited my wish to visit Japan (heading over again next yr)
I'm living in Fuji city and found the exact spot where the Shinkansen track is where you see the bridge under construction on the Shin Tomei highway. This scene is near where the tracks go by a MaxValu in Fuji Enoo. I also took a trip from Fuji city to Kyoto Station where those scenes are filmed. Love the movie and Japan!
Not the brightest or flashiest (or the most talked-about)s scene in the movie, but the most beautiful. It really portrays how it feels to "be alone in a crowd", and the scene, where she longingly watches how the groom caringly and tenderly leads the bride over the steps is pure beauty. Especially because it is followed up by the o-mikuji scene, where it is left up to the viewer's imagination what she wishes for herself (happiness, happy marriage with her absent-minded husbond, a long life, riches or something fifth).
This is also a companion scene to one where Charlotte calls her friend, said she went to a Buddhist temple and felt nothing. The whole trip was about trying to find “the real Japan” of her imagination. After meeting Bob, Charlotte was able to partially fulfill her hopes in this scene. Getting out of the hotel, the bustle of Tokyo for a while and finally feeling something for a bit. Bob also did this when he went golfing by Mount Fuji.
When I was in my early 20’s, I was very depressed and suicidal, and I always felt like I could relate to Charlotte’s character. This scene reminds me of when I was travelling alone in India, and the feeling of loneliness and emptiness I felt, whilst in love with the culture of a foreign country. I look back at this film and see it as a hug that stayed with me during those years.
An entire lifetime in three minutes: 0:14: Pregnancy, birth and living in your own bubble as a baby (the headphones) 0:49: As a teenager with your friends. 1:00: Gate to adulthood 1:49: Marriage 2:01: walking thru life. 2:20: Wishing for a happy life/not being alone. 2:37: (Fear of) Being left alone in the twilight of your life.
2:01 when I visited Kyoto in 2015 I stepped on the same rocks, thinking of this scene. I think a lot of fans of this film do this if they get to Kyoto. The city is quite beautiful, wish I had spent more time there. Have fond memories of it.
@@itsstans75that is not true. I've seen Fuji many times on the Shinkansen from Tokyo and at Fuji city which is where the scene is in the movie! I'm living in Fuji city now.
I can't watch this scene / listen to this track without tearing up. Both just hit me at the right time. Excellent track & Johansson does her best work in this film. (As does Murray, IMO). As "SUGAR XYLER" put it, haunting.
Aren't you supposed to pause @ each stone? The view is designed to be slightly different from each stepping stone, if that's the place I recall from 40 years ago
I drove also with Shinkansen from Tokio to Kyoto and could enjoy the great view to the seaside and the Mountainside. And I could also see a wedding like this. Japan is really strange but great! By the way - fantastic movie which I watch again and again.
take a deep breath and hold on for one moment. let your sorrows go and enjoy the beauty of life. so calm but sad @ the same time. this scene gets me every single time i‘m watching it again. We‘re all lonely travellers in this world.
Such a beautiful culture,I'm half-Buddist so I would definetly end up meditating in a Buddist Temple for weeks,months or years on end.Society needs to return to a simpler lifestyle,simpler values.
I was in Kyoto earlier this year and had a lovely day visiting some of the temples, including Nanzen-ji in this video. It was a lovely and calm day. I think of it often.
Braden Bennett lol Tokyo was not spared at all, we just burnt it to the ground with incendiary bombs and killed more people than the A-bombs did. Look up the Tokyo fire bombings.....it suffered worse than any city in WW2 besides Dresden or Stalingrad
You my friend cleary never been to Japan... I've been to Japan twice and they are the most generous loving and polite people I have ever met. They made me feel welcome everywhere I went and it is one of the most amazing countries in the world. And I'm a westener. Maybe try to leave your trailer park and see a bit of the world instead of assuming Fox News is telling the truth about the world out there?
@David Gravemaker I spent two weeks in Japan and my experience was similar to yours. But Japan has a well documented xenophobic history. Insulting people that live in trailer parks and trying to somehow mix in Fox News just makes you look ignorant and not at all like one of the "most generous loving and polite people."

Rogerius actually movies and TV are very different... They can film anyone in TV if there's information purpose (at least in France it's like that), in movies it works differently
It depends on the scene. The traditional Japanese wedding scene, those were clearly actors. The cinematographer wasn't hiding out with a long lens filming, the wedding party was hired to be part of this film.
Does anyone know the name of the city by the water, after Mt. Fuji? I remember seeing it on my trip to Kyoto, and thinking it was so beautiful, and was pleasantly surpised to see it in this movie.
Walked alone in Kyoto 2 weeks ago. Magical moment. This scene, this movie, this song....hits me every time.

O-Mukji scene? What are you talking about

Brought a tear. I am speechless. This resonates so strong...
Awesome reflection

Where is it in Kyoto?
I took pictures of my gf (now wife) walking on those rocks
Very magical place
I love everything about this film. No wasted scenes or words.
Favourite scene of all time.
The Fuji view from the shinkansen is pure bliss, it only lasts 20 minutes but it sticks with you forever once you experienced it.
Truth is you won’t get to see Mt Fuji on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto.
I have experienced that two weeks ago. Totally agree with you
@@itsstans75 Bollocks. On clear days you can see Fuji on the Tokyo-Osaka Shinkansen. I did.
@@itsstans75that is not true. I've seen Fuji many times on the Shinkansen from Tokyo and at Fuji city which is where the scene is in the movie! I'm living in Fuji city now.
I just love this song. Captures Japan's essence perfectly.
I am in Kyoto at the moment... Nothing can capture the beauty of this place and its energy. Truly magical...
went to kyoto solo last october . was in the city for 3 nights .. played this on my ipod while walking around one evening .. it fit my mood
What a ridiculously amazing work of art this scene is.
I can't watch this scene / listen to this track without tearing up. Both just hit me at the right time. Excellent track & Johansson does her best work in this film. (As does Murray, IMO). As "SUGAR XYLER" put it, haunting.
Benji Taylor should you be so emotional?
Benji Taylor I agree. This is one of my favorite movies.
I have literally walked the same steps during my visit to Kyoto. So heartbreaking to watch this.
Heartbreaking? And yes many people including fans of the movie walk those steps.
I hope to do the same one day.
Aren't you supposed to pause @ each stone? The view is designed to be slightly different from each stepping stone, if that's the place I recall from 40 years ago
This one of the BEST sequence ever in a movie... of all time. A sequence which captures the quintessence of Japan and the meaning of the movie
"Sometimes we only want to be found."
I drove also with Shinkansen from Tokio to Kyoto and could enjoy the great view to the seaside and the Mountainside. And I could also see a wedding like this.
Japan is really strange but great!
By the way - fantastic movie which I watch again and again.
Such a beautiful scene from a wonderful film.
Thank you sharing this. One of my favorite scenes in the film
One of my favourite sequences of all time. It's just cinema at its best.
For some reason her hair and the way she's dressed makes me think she looks like a silent hill videogame character.

Yes, lonely travellers in this world.
Such a beautiful culture,I'm half-Buddist so I would definetly end up meditating in a Buddist Temple for weeks,months or years on end.Society needs to return to a simpler lifestyle,simpler values.
Nanzenji and Heian Jingu, close to where I used to live. There's nowhere like Kyoto.
I was in Kyoto earlier this year and had a lovely day visiting some of the temples, including Nanzen-ji in this video. It was a lovely and calm day. I think of it often.
anyone who has lived in Japan will appreciate this scene.
Is it Japan a depressing place?
Great as a tourist but a weird and unwelcoming place to live as an actual expat.
@@davsavchav I've heard that from some others--
hauntingly beautiful music
This makes me miss japan. I miss exploring different parts of japan that people don’t always document.
Kyoto? Best known tourist city in Japan. I miss the onsen, the washlets, the cleanliness and decent Tempura and Udon.
I'll be filming a movie in Japan kyoto soon and this song will be playing in the background can't forget air
This was the city that was suppose to be nuked during ww2. Fortunately It was spared
Braden Bennett lol Tokyo was not spared at all, we just burnt it to the ground with incendiary bombs and killed more people than the A-bombs did. Look up the Tokyo fire bombings.....it suffered worse than any city in WW2 besides Dresden or Stalingrad

David Gravemaker i can only agree. I miss Japan so much
@Cameron Covington It's Kyoto in this clip, not Tokyo.

My single favourite sequence in cinema
Very beautiful video and song! Thanks 4 uploading it❤️️
C'est calme, apaisant
In the year 2001 I had a day similar to this outside of Tokyo. It's crazy to watch this scene and think about the memories of that day.
one of the most beautiful movies , makes me cry every time I see this scene..
Possibly I would have not discovered this beauty if I did not watch the entire filmography of Scarlett. What I golden work I would have lost!
Thank you so very much. 💙
Japan is the only country that i believe is very close to nature.
Such a fine film
God I love this movie😍
海外の方が切り取る日本の風景は、何故か私たちが普段目にするそれと違う趣を感じます。
OMG GREAT SONG!!!
Ahora sé de dónde salió el magnífico soundtrack de Mujeres Asesinas // The Killer Women's (Argentina) ❤
This scene makes me very emotional. I am not really sure why.
Es hermosa esta película mañana le voy a hacer una reseña en mi canal.
Понравилось!
It amazes me that this is in the same movie as the "lip my stockings" one.
Paris is the same.
True vibe , great scene.
Being..
So soothing. I feel safe!
Lovely sequence. 1:10 My Japanese friend said it was disrespectful to step on the wooden beam of a temple or shrine.
mushishi.

I like this scene as whole movie. One of the best ever!
It is fantastic
cami te extraño
Kyoto est une tres belle ville
Thank you!
I wonder if all these people know they are being filmed?
of course, they are all actors. They can not film random people.
Yes they can.... TV shows do it here all the time.
Rogerius actually movies and TV are very different... They can film anyone in TV if there's information purpose (at least in France it's like that), in movies it works differently

amazing song and the best fitting sequence. amazing.
Boring movie for cringe hispters. Go watch Kill Bill if you want to watch an actual entertaining movie set in Japan.
What boring repetitious music!
Can I share to Instagram? thank you!
at what part is this scene?
Lost in Kyoto.
3/4 Movie time.
Does anyone know the name of the city by the water, after Mt. Fuji? I remember seeing it on my trip to Kyoto, and thinking it was so beautiful, and was pleasantly surpised to see it in this movie.
Nvm I found it, it’s Atami, if anyone is wondering.
i can relate to this when i was in China.My favorite movie scene of all times.
