1. The actor is written specifically for Bill Murray by director Sophia Coppola. She also said that if Murray did not act in the movie, she would not make it. Murray had verbally agreed to appear before, as to whether Coppola would appear as scheduled. On the first day of filming, Murray came to the set.
2. Once the crew rented a hotel for filming. The agreement was to borrow until 4 pm, but the crew was cut off by the owner after only 10 minutes of the rental time. The Japanese staff in charge of arranging the location also felt that this was a serious breach of trust with the owner. And disrespect.
3. Due to limited funds, many times the crew cannot organize large-scale location shooting. They can only use a portable camera to capture city fragments in motion. Many shots are secretly shot on the street. Some Tokyo street scenes in the film are through Taken from the window of Starbucks. The film crew at the intersection of Tokyo Metro and Shibuya risked arrest.
4. The hotel where Charlotte and Bob stay in the film is PARK HYATT TOKYO (Hyatt Garden (Tokyo) Hotel).
