The British actress goes on a 2,000 mile journey across the four main islands of Japan, travelling from North to South meeting local people and absorbing the culture.
Joanna Lumley journeys across Japan. She visits the city of Sapporo during the annual Snow Festival, visits the Fukushima exclusion zone and takes a 'bullet train' to Tokyo.
Joanna flies over the city of Tokyo in a helicopter, walks the Nakasendo Way that once linked Tokyo to Kyoto, and arrives in Kyoto at the peak of the cherry blossom season.
Joanna visits a selection of temples to better understand Japanese Buddhism, stays in the world's first robot hotel and gets an aerial view of one of Japan's most active volcanoes.
