Of the many, many X-Men characters it seems that the Wolverine has done the best with a few stand-alone movies dedicated to the mutant who possesses animal-keen senses, enhanced physical capabilities, and powerful regenerative ability known as a healing factor. First there was the ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ (2009) prequel, then there was ‘The Wolverine‘ (2013) and now we have ‘Logan‘ (2017) which will be the last time the wonderful Hugh Jackman plays the character.
To mark the release Tokyo Fox has brought together all the filming locations from the 2013 movie and compiled them into a solitary picture-special post. The time codes given are from the DVD so may be slightly different to the blu-ray or downloaded versions.

Very nice list! We visited a few Tokyo locations thanks to this blog and Nakagin Capsule Tower was the most interesting one. Thanks!
You’re very welcome! You can actually go inside that capsule tower now on tours (3000 yen) I think with all the money going towards trying to save them from being demolished
