Description

This Globe Trekker video follows Ian Wright's unusual journey through the southern islands of Japan, from Kyushu down to the Yaeyama Islands, Japan's westernmost point. He begins in congested Tokyo and takes refuge in a hostess bar, where European girls are well-paid to make polite conversation with Japanese businessmen, before checking out the scene at Yoyigikoen Park, where eclectic bands compete to create a cacophony of noise pollution. Flying from island to island, Ian visits a volcano, goes skiing after dark, witnesses bull fighting and snake versus mongoose battles, learns about the aftermath of the atomic bomb in Nagasaki, takes a therapeutic sand bath at a hot spring, and experiences the nightlife of Kagoshima. The tranquil Yaeyama Islands are his final destination, where he treks through the jungle and ends his journey at the beautiful Binai water falls.
