<P> Principal photography took place in Oahu , Hawaii , in the northeastern area of the island known as the `` windward side '' . The local countryside in modern - day Okinawa had been drastically changed due to the presence of military bases , so other locations in both Japan and Hawaii were scouted as alternative filming locations . Filmmakers selected a property in Oahu that was privately owned by a retired local physician who agreed to allow a portion of the land to be used in the film . To form the Okinawan village portrayed in the film , seven authentic replicas of Okinawan houses were constructed along with more than three acres of planted crops . 50 Okinawa - born Hawaii residents were also recruited as film extras . Filming began on September 23 , 1985 . </P>
