Creator's Key Takeaways

Japan is so quirky, so different, so utterly brilliant. We can't believe we're here and we can't wait to show you.

We struck Geisha gold. Not one but two Mako sightings.

Riviera promised us Japan and what they gave us was something far greater. A journey that has lodged itself into our souls.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go early or late to avoid crowds at the Arashiyama bamboo forest.
Try Kobe beef in Kobe for an authentic experience.
Visit Fushimi Inari Shrine early in the morning for a quieter climb.
