Filming of You Only Live Twice extended from July 1966 to March 1967[15]. The film was shot primarily in Japan. Himeji Castle in Hyogo was depicted as Tanaka's ninja training camp. His private transportation hub was filmed at the Tokyo Metro's Nakano-shimbashi Station. The Hotel New Otani, Tokyo served as the outside for Osato Chemicals and the hotel's gardens were used for scenes of the ninja training. Bonotsu in Kagoshima served as the fishing village, the Kobe harbor was used for the dock fight and Mount Shinmoe-dake in Kyushu was used for the exteriors of SPECTRE's headquartersThe company opened on January 18, 1963.[1] The main hotel in Tokyo opened in 1964, to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics of that year. Upon its opening, the building was the tallest building in Tokyo until 1968 when the Kasumigaseki Building was completed. It is known for its revolving restaurant atop the hotel and along with the New Otani Art Museum located on its sixth floor.[citation needed] The New Otani operates 17 hotels in Japan and 2 hotels outside of Japan.[1] 

New Otani Tokyo Japanese GardenA 400 year-old Japanese garden is on the hotel site, dating from the 1500's when Kato Kiyomasa, a Samurai lord, had his residences on this site.  In the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice, the Hotel New Otani Tokyo is used for the outside scenes at Osato Chemicals, and appears as the Japanese headquarters of Ernst Stavro Blofeld's organization, SPECTRE.  You Only Live Twice was released in the U.S. June 13, 1967.
