Sightseeing Japan

I was looking for a good podcast to help me prepare for a trip to Japan and stumbled on this. I started at episode 1 and binge listened through the whole series over the next few months. Jason and Paul do a fantastic job at getting you hyped to go see these wonderful places! And you also learn more about the culture, and the history which adds incredible depth and more meaning. They go pretty deep and the format is really nice on how it’s broken down. I have enjoyed episodes I thought I would never enjoy (like baseball and politics in Japan) but the are both so passionate and funny (like totally my kind of humor) I can’t help but love every one. No kidding, I’ve liked them all. And listened to many more than once because there is just so much information and it’s very helpful. So if you love Japan and/or want to visit this is a great resource and fun way to learn, plan, and laugh.

This podcast was a lifesaver when we were planning our first trip to Japan last year. It was great to have the episodes to reference to when we were on our trip too. It was fun being on the train to Nara while listening to the Nara episode! Jason & Paul are super entertaining and make all Japan topics fun to listen to - I think they’ve convinced me to try Natto and I’m not an adventurous eater! 😂 We are headed back to Japan this fall and I found the episodes just as helpful (if not more!) than the first time I listened to them. Keep up the great episodes guys!

Such a refreshing review on everything and anything you are interested and especially before a trip! Going to Japan this September and I feel fully equipped with knowledge by listening to these guys. Truly can’t wait to go and if you’re planning a trip, give this podcast a listen.

Very white guy way of looking at a country without actually researching and trying to understand the culture…
