Sonatine being one of my very favorite films, I always wanted to visit where the beautiful beach scenes where filmed. Did some research and with help from the Okinawa film board, and google maps, I was able to nail down exactly where the beach scenes where filmed back in 1992 on Ishigaki Island, Japan. It is only a 40 minute flight from Taipei, Taiwan, so on a visit to Taiwan a couple of weeks ago, I planned to go full Sonatine and did so with a side visit to Ishigaki. My youngest daughter and I just had to pay tribute to one of the beach scenes and did just that in almost the exact spot as you will see in the short video.
