Joanna Lumley's Japan

Storyline

In this three-part series Joanna Lumley travels over 2000 miles across Japan, exploring the country's mystical islands and discovering some extraordinary stories along the way. By boat, train, plane and foot, the host makes her way from Hokkaido, the `wild north', through Siberian seas to Honshu, Japan's largest and most populated island. The journey then heads south to Tohoku, where a bullet train takes Lumley to the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and then to the ancient capital, Kyoto. In the south Lumley takes a walk through the remote island Shikoku and the volcanic Kyushu island, before reaching her final destination Kohama, known for its idyllic beaches.
