What an impressive and delightful look at Japan from the eyes of Joanna "Trail of the Pink Panther" Lumley. In this episode Joanna took a serious look at Japan and the various people and places she visits. One of the most touching was when she visited Naoto Matsumura, a hero of Tomioka, Fukushima, as he looks after abandoned animals left behind by residents fleeing the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
I loved the nice touches where Joanna enthusiastically got her book stamped at each destination! Her commentary on the Sapporo snow buildings was spectacular, as was her visit of the cranes. Absolutely wonderful.
There was a road trip element in this series, with Joanna driving around Japan to each of her destinations (in Japan they drive on the left hand side). I liked her awe at the vending machines in Japan.
