Name: Japan with Sue Perkins
Genre: Documentary
Released: 2019-09-18
Rating: 7.3
Cast: Sue Perkins

Japan with Sue Perkins is not as visually stimulating as Joanna Lumley's Japan, there are almost no Drone Panoramic Shots, for example.

The show is grittier and more down to Earth, concerning itself more with Cultural Immersion and Social Commentary.

For one it captures the weirdness sometimes of Japan, with their Employee Hell Camps, Single Marriages, etc. Sue is also quite funny on some spots, especially on involving a Flute in the Forest.

The lack of visuals is made up for by having a bit more substance, less "Touristy" and more humor.

The travel documentary features individuals or groups as they journey to different locations, regions, or countries. These documentaries provide viewers with a visual and narrative exploration of various destinations, cultures, landscapes, and experiences.
