Rurouni Kenshin - filming locations 2015/5/30 20:31
Hi,

We're big fans of Rurouni Kenshin the movie. From my initial research, they shot the film in the following places: Ibaraki, Yamagata, Kumamoto, Shiga, Hyogo, Kyoto, Nagano, Tochigi, Chiba, Kanagawa, and Tokyo.

We'd like to visit some places where they shot the film. Can anyone suggest where to go see them, specifically in Tokyo, Kyoto and Shiga?

Thanks!

The movie of Rurouni Kenshin is not animation movie. The actors perform these characters. And also, it's not showing now. It ended last year,so if you watch it, you should rent DVD at the rental shop like TSUTAYA.

I've done a bit more research and found this very helpful blog: http://stephany-310.tumblr.com/

For those who have similar interest, just search for "Ruroken Location Site Tour" and there you go!

Now time to plan my itinerary around these locations. :)

I think the location was held mostly in Shiga, and Kyoto film studio with brief location in Kyoto temples and shrines.
