Joanna Lumley's Japan

I laughed, I cried, I learnt with this amazing, sentimentale, humanist and beautiful woman. So many feelings, sense of humour and love. I amire you the unique woman. I Saw the series in Bloomberg Ht in Turkey. Thanks.

A gentle journey from the very north of Hokkaido to the bottom most island of Japan near Taiwan. Joanna is the ideal travel guide for this, to western eyes, most alien of cultures. Fun, courteous and wondrous, appreciative of her surrounding, without an ounce of condescension . Wonderful insight into a wonderful country and its lovely people.

A great Limited 3-Part Series, each around 45 minutes long and made 2 Years before Joanna Lumley's other great Series, the Silk Road Adventure. I've never been to Japan, my first thoughts about is about Modernity and Progress.

But here Joanna Lumley shows us it is a lot more than that, there are great Sceneries, great History and Culture. I love the Drone Shots, they made a lot of them, almost every Place they featured. It captured wonderful Panoramic Views of the Areas.

Also one thing I noticed was how Clean, Neat and Orderly almost all the Places in Japan were, whether it was in the Major Cities or in the Rural Areas.

The Series also gives a good Presentation of Japan's Geography, like what its major Islands are, their differences, History, etc. For me this is a Must See Travel Adventure Series.

Throughly enjoyable 3 part series. Lots of information about Japan and made me want to go back.

What's not to like about that. In my view What makes this a standout is the curiosity, open mind and absolute joy that Joanna Lumley brings with her on her journey through this spectacular and unique country. I'm sure it's the secret to her youthful beauty. I can't wait to watch the entire series. 👏🏼
