The Exact Filming Locations of "Can This Love Be Translated?"

Ho-jin and Mu-hee's tale begins through a chance encounter in Japan. Different people from different walks of life, they get to know one another through the coastal town of Kamakura, which is known as a popular weekender spot for city dwellers. In one scene, the main characters see each other along the Enoden Line of the Gokurakuji Train Station.

Also within the Kanagawa Prefecture is Enoshima Island. Ho-jin and Mu-hee bonded along the Shonan coast with a distant view of Mt. Fuji before them.

Towards the west from Kanagawa is Kyoto, which is known as Japan's ancient capital. Mu-hee was seen wandering the narrow residential alleys of its Gion district. In some scenes, you can catch a glimpse of some temples and Zen gardens that hark back to the city's historical ties.

One of the most visually arresting sequences in Can This Love Be Translated? was filmed at the Civita de Bagnoregio, a mediaval village in the Lazio region. It's purely accessible by a pedestrian bridge, which is what Mu-hee treaded during the filming of her dating show. As arduous as the hike may be, the panoramic view of rural Italy makes it worth it.

Many sequences filmed in Italy were centralized in Tuscany, a cultural capital regarded as the starting point of the Renaissance. With his mastery of Italian, Ho-jin guides Mu-hee throughout the cities of Montalcino, Siena, Florence, and Fieselo as they meet with producers and shift through awkward moments. In between scenes of uncertainty, viewers can appreciate the region's sloped cobblestone streets and historic architecture.

Tensions rise for both Mu-hee and Ho-jin as they traverse the region of Umbria and reach its center, Perugia. The city, which seems to always be rendered in warm light, is also known as Italy's chocolate capital.

While one may immediately think of the Colloseum or the Trevi Fountain when visiting Rome, an underrated landmark to see are the Baths of Caracalla. One of the ancient city's largest public baths, it served as a backdrop to an on-screen exchange between Mu-hee and her Japanese co-star Hiro Kurosawa (who is portrayed by Fukushi Sota.)

A cosmopolitan city in the heart of Canada, Calgary became an urban setting for many of Mu-hee and Ho-jin interactions. Stephen Avenue, Hudson's Bay Company Building, Rotary Park, and local diners became convergence points for the two. During taping for their dating show at the Heritage Park Historical Village, Mu-hee was given a peculiar challenge involving balloons by Hiro.

Things took a calmer turn at the Banff National Park, which is only an hour's drive away from the center of Calgary. The central couple were spotted trekking the pedestrian bridge as the sun set, which eventually led them to seeing the famed northern lights.
