    The Tohoku Episode

    In this episode we look at the Tohoku region, an area visited by less than 1% of inbound travellers to Japan but home to six prefectures that offer visitors glimpses of rural life, Japanese traditions, laidback cities, and much more. Rob has a new microphone too...although hasn't yet worked out that it needs to be held a constant distance from his mouth...oops at the 6 minute mark.
