Japan is also the place that has given us Godzilla, Hello Kitty, cosplay, and some of the strangest obsessions on Earth. James sets out on an epic journey across Japan from north to south, determined to understand why this unique country and its people are the way they are, what drives their entire culture, and what their approach to life can teach the rest of us.

Nice documentary series in which James May travels from the north to the south of Japan. With May you are of course always in the right place when it comes to humor. However, I did not always find the subjects interesting and successful. As far as I'm concerned, 6x 30 minutes would have made the series stronger.
