Baku – Some fans of popular Japanese television drama “Vivant” have been flocking to Azerbaijan, hoping to see with their own eyes where the second season of the hit series was filmed.

Hugging the western shore of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan will likely continue welcoming more Japanese visitors, including growing numbers of “set-jetters,” or people who travel to locations where famous movies and TV shows are filmed. One travel agency has said that package tour sales to the country have been strong.

Among the set-jetters who visited Azerbaijan in late October was Mayumi Kishi, 47, from Tokyo. Standing before the ruins of a bathhouse at the Palace of the Shirvanshahs in the country’s capital of Baku, which appeared in the drama as Jerusalem, Kishi said: “This is it. The character came out from this spot.”

Squealing with delight, she took photos on her smartphone.

Kishi had already planned to visit Azerbaijan even before learning about where the drama series was filmed.…
