Our Guy in Japan

Motorcycle racer and truck mechanic Guy Martin travels 2500 miles around Japan to dive into its modern culture and to discover how the country works. He meets a whole range of different characters from across society, and is unafraid to venture into some of Japan's more seedy areas, getting one of the notorious `tebori' tattoos associated with gang culture and investigating a slum that houses the yakuza headquarters. He also meets one of the last remaining swordsmiths in the country, pays his respects at Hiroshima, and learns from a revered elderly engineer who worked on Japan's first nuclear power stations.
