- DirectorFrankie FathersTom WhitterStarsJames MayMasayo FujiiJames begins his journey at Cape Soya, the northernmost tip of Japan on the remote island of Hokkaido. This snowy wilderness is the least densely populated area of the country, and James tries his hand at dog sledding across the stunning landscape with some deceptively docile-looking canine pals. A few bumps and bruises later and it's time to brush up his language and origami skills in one of the smallest restaurants he's ever seen. This is a 'Yatai', or a tiny eating and drinking shack, where you're encouraged to cram around a small communal table and break noodles knee to knee with people who, until the beer starts flowing, are total strangers. But there are more winter sports on the horizon, as a day or so later James finds himself playing 'Yukigassen' - the world's only codified and refereed team snowball fight (complete with regulation sized balls). Despite James's natural athleticism, and the stern words of encouragement from his disappointed guide Massayo, he's not a natural in the cut and thrust of a grudge match where the snowballs are solid ice and crash helmets are obligatory. To escape from the bitter cold, the director gives James a chance to warm up and indulge his passion for metalwork. He meets Korehiro Watanabe, one of Japan's last samurai swordsmiths, who allows James to be his apprentice for a day (forgoing the usual ten-year commitment). After several hours spent learning the extraordinary secrets of the sword master's forge, James takes a handmade katana for a quick spin, showing how this ancient craft still yields fear-inducing results. By now it's definitely time for some food and drink, and James brews his own beer at one of the growing number of microbreweries springing up in Sapporo, Japan's beer capital. Then he heads out into Hokkaido's bountiful icy waters to catch an octopus, and learns the art of sashimi and tempura in a quayside cook off. At least James's efforts go down better than a dessert featuring sea urchin ice cream.8/10
- DirectorWill YappStarsJeremy ClarksonKaleb CooperKaty ColesJeremy Clarkson sets out to diversify, as a way of increasing his annual profit (£144 last year).8/10
- DirectorBill BaileyTom WhitterStarsJames MayPaolo DamianoIn the beautiful, rural south of the mainland, James is forced to confront a vision of hell courtesy of Dante's Inferno - and a goat that urgently needs milking. The Amalfi Coast offers some much-needed respite before he dives headfirst into the breathless, chaotic, sea of humanity that is the city of Naples.8/10
- DirectorBill BaileyTom WhitterStarsJames MayYujiro TaniyamaHacchan HatanakaJames arrives by speedboat in Osaka, Japan's de facto second city and a port with a reputation for great nightlife and delicious street food. With his manhole-obsessed local guide Hacchan, he has a go at Japan's national (and slightly shady) pastime, Pachinko, a sort of pinball fruit machine. In a land where gambling is frowned upon, James discovers the tricks the Japanese use to get their hands on their winnings- and then promptly blows all his money on Osaka's famous octopus balls and Japan's infamously expensive Kobe beef. Osaka is also the centre of Japanese stand-up comedy, a genre notorious for getting lost in translation. Since he started his journey, James seems to have provoked great mirth from the locals, so he calls on his trusty Tokyo guide, Yujiro, for a dangerous comedy experiment. To see if comedy can travel, they'll perform translated British jokes to a notoriously hard-bitten Osakan comedy audience. After that bruising encounter, James is in need of some light relief, but Yujiro takes James to a sumo wrestling stable... where Yujiro risks both his dignity and his nether regions by taking on the largest wrestler in the room. He leaves with neither intact. Time for something a bit more zen: meditation. In the Kōraku-en, arguably Japan's most famous ornamental garden, the duo seek guidance from a Buddhist sensei on how to achieve enlightenment. The concept is interesting, but James struggles to shake some harrowing memories from his mind. It does succeed, however, in putting him in a more reflective mood - something that seems pertinent as he arrives in the city of Hiroshima. This thriving, thoroughly modern metropolis will perhaps forever be known as the place where atomic warfare came of age. James visits the museum and meets a Japanese-American historian, to shed more light on this controversial legacy. Last but certainly not least, James visits the Itsukushima Shrine famous for its orange (or possibly red) Tori gate, and its ravenous deer.8/10
