Based on James Clavell&#8217;s bestselling novel from 1975, the 10-part series is a gripping tale of cultural clash, survival, and political intrigue set in the tumultuous world of 17th-century Japan. This was a turbulent time in Japan\u2019s history, and this fictitious tale reignites interest in the past while showing off some stunning locations. But where exactly was <em>Sh\u014dgun<\/em> filmed? Let&#8217;s dive into the top <em>Sh\u014dgun<\/em> filming locations \u2013 and the story behind why the series wasn\u2019t actually filmed in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-toc-block-my-custom-block\"><div id=\"table-of-contents-container\"><\/div><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sh\u014dgun - Official Trailer | Hiroyuki Sanada, Cosmo Jarvis, Anna Sawai | FX\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yAN5uspO_hk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-wasn-t-shogun-filmed-in-japan\">Why wasn\u2019t <em>Sh\u014dgun<\/em> filmed in Japan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So why was a show about Japan not filmed in Japan!? Well, it was meant to be shot in Japan \u2013 but then the pandemic hit, pulling the handbrake on all film production worldwide. Besides the logistical and financial constraints, a producer said that recreating 17th-century Japan in modern-day Japan posed many challenges.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, the production team scouted alternate locations where they could take viewers back in time 300 years to really capture the atmosphere of feudal Japan. They found ideal settings in other parts of the world \u2013 such as Canada and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/yellowstone-filming-locations\/\"><strong><em>Where was Yellowstone filmed?

Known for its rugged natural beauty, the Ucluelet coastline and forest trails provided the perfect backdrop for many outdoor scenes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We wanted to open the show with the beautiful scenery of the Wya Point Beach in Ucluelet. It\u2019s a very beautiful place,\u201d Producer Erin Smith said in an interview with Vancouver&#8217;s CTV News. \u201cWe have a lot of cast and crew from Japan that were quite fascinated and blown away by the resemblance of that spot to Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dramatic cliffs and dense forests of Ucluelet helped transport viewers to 1600s Japan. Key scenes, including John Blackthorne\u2019s initial arrival in Japan, were shot near Amphitrite Point Lighthouse and the Wild Pacific Trail. The cast and crew transformed the location to resemble the untamed shores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\nTour not found.\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-port-moody-british-columbia-canada\">Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2025\/01\/port-moody.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-879926\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Port Moody, another location in British Columbia, was a versatile spot for many scenes.

A combo of historic architecture and state-of-the-art studios were ideal for creating period-specific interiors, from Toranaga\u2019s court to Blackthorne\u2019s evolving surroundings. By blending these locations with on-location filming in Canada, the producers maintained the grandeur and realism demanded by James Clavell\u2019s original story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/harry-potter-filming-locations\/\"><strong><em>Where was Harry Potter filmed?
