It is extremely difficult for foreign countries to film movies in Japan, there are endless amount of red tape to get through. In the end, it takes less time and costs less money to build an imitation "Japan" in California or some other place.

More than 90% of Tokyo Drift was not filmed in Tokyo (or Japan, for that matter). The famous scene where the cars "drift" through Shibuya crossing was computer generated.
