Journey Across Japan

21 days. A 2,000km Journey Across Japan. Just one problem. We need a vehicle. And so with a budget of $1,000 we go in search of Japan's tiniest car. 

Our 2,000km Journey Across Japan kicks off as we head deep into the mountains to a town that time forgot. 

Japan's ramen capital is the town of Kitakata with over 100 ramen shops to choose from. We head to three and try the spiciest ramen of them all. 

It's been 12 years since the Fukushima Nuclear disaster and the $200bn clean up effort is still ongoing. We revisit the exclusion zone for the first time in 4 years to see first hand. 

Japan's nightlife scene is dominated by hostess clubs and snack bars. We head inside one as we continue our Journey Across Japan accompanied by special guest Ryotaro! 

We visit Japan's best gyoza dumpling hidden in the mountains of Fukushima and Ryotaro's brand new country house! 

On paper staying overnight on a Japanese desert island sounds fun. In practice, it's far from it. Featuring ‪@CDawgVA‬ and Natsuki. 

Having survived a deserted Japanese island, we arrive back onshore to ruin my new Japanese car. 

I took Connor Dog Voice Actor Man to the cheapest restaurant in the whole of Japan. 

We head to Japan's most haunted Inn in Iwate today, don't say I never treat Sharla. 

Japan's BIGGEST tuna bowl is insane value for money. 

Japan's RAREST Ramen is certainly unusual - but what does it really taste like?

In Japan's chilly far flung north, we face our worst two challenges yet.

Dr Jelly is back for a final outing in a Japanese school with a song for the ages.

Deep in the mountains of north Japan lies the snowy hot spring village of Ginzan. It's a shame our visit isn't so relaxing.
