This is a repeat, was on earlier this year. Still very good though.

Should clarify, that it's a nature documentary.

Japan is such a wonderful place to experience. Fantastic people, so much to see and do, as well as world-class politeness everywhere you turn, they'll even cook your McDonald's burger how you like at Osaka International airport. Beat that Leeds.
A hearty recommendation for an unusual and memorable holiday of a lifetime.

Unfortunately it is HORRENDOUSLY expensive to fly between there and the UK. I looked to go there after the Philippines last November. It was either Australia or Japan. Flights from Philippines to Japan, no problem. Flights back from Japan to UK? OMG expensive! :cry: One day...

It's also horrendously expensive when you're there Iain.

My dad lives in Hong Kong. He wanted a flight over Xmas. £3k :shock: . Xmas isn't a thing over there. Everyone works.

What's Hong Kong got to do with Japan :?



I found flights to be reasonably priced tbh... I've had returns to the US for 5-600 and with British Airways you can fly to Tokyo non-stop for close the the 1k mark (for a return, over Christmas). So yeah comparing the price to the US it seems good value. But as Simon says, it is expensive when you get there.
