Can someone Help me think of some other movies filmed in Japan for America?

Currently have:

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

So you're looking for films that had some sort of filming done in Japan or majority or only? Because Memoirs of a Geisha was mostly filmed in California with some scenes filmed in Kyoto.

he's right, a few of the garden scenes of it were filmed at a local japanese garden here in California. The same place also was filmed for a few scenes of The Last Samurai.
