First Taste Japan – Takayama
This time I'm bringing you the Japanese town of Takayama, up in the hills in Honshu. Come and see through my somewhat grainy footage from 2011 what this place is like with its floats, retro museum and huge temple on the top of a hill to a new religion I know nothing about!

In one corner today, we have a heavyweight champion of North Asia, the Japanese capital – destination Tokyo!

Itinerary – 3 weeks in Japan
Howdy all on this Sunday. I was a bit surprised to realise that I haven’t done an ‘Itineraries’ on Japan, so I that’s what I’ve settled on this week. Japan is a country which has so much to offer the visitor, and with shinkansens taking you the length of the country at 200 kmph plus, …
