Foreign tourists eating at a country fair in Hoi An Town

The nine-person film crew will focus on crafting scenes within Hoi An Town's ancient streets, its traditional club-houses, trade villages and traditional dishes.

BS12 is one of the most popular TV stations in Japan, which specializes in promoting tourism and exploring famous nature spots worldwide.

Hoi An Town was recognized by UNESCO in 1999 as one a World Cultural Heritage.
