Lost in Translation

Factual error: When Charlotte visits Kyoto she arrives by Shinkansen (bullet train) and walks along the platform past the end of the train as if she was leaving the station. The exits at Kyoto Shinkansen platforms are in the middle and not at the end. At the end of the platform is a barrier to prevent you walking down onto the train tracks. (01:14:05)

Continuity mistake: In the black toe scene when Bob and Charlotte are having lunch and Bob tells her about his massage, Charlotte rests her cheek on her fist, then the camera cuts back to Bob and Charlotte has her chopsticks in her hands, then back to Charlotte and her fist is up to her cheek again.
