Go on an exciting adventure to exotic
Japan and revisit the filming locations of the fifth James Bond film
You Only Live Twice (1967).
In 1966, Eon Productions decided to film the fifth James Bond adventure in Japan:
You Only Live Twice, based on
the novel by Ian Fleming which was published two years before. The film that resulted from these efforts came out in 1967 and was an unsurpassed visual spectacle. The exciting Tokyo neon signs, the beautiful countryside temples and the rural villages and volcanoes gave the film a very exotic background. Today, Japan is still a very attractive travel destination and this book will encourage you to follow the tracks of her majesty’s best-known secret agent.
