Viewing Notes
This is a bunch of international young people going to Tokyo to visit a variety of attractions. It’s kinda old now (early 2000s) but still presents a good picture of what to expect… especially the rain!! So funny that’s it’s raining almost the entire time they are shooting. Yep, that’s typical. Production quality is rather low but acceptable for a TV series. This particular episode is also available on Prime.
Funniest thing is that they get talked into a strip bar in Shinjuku red light district (they are so fucking annoying huckstering foreigners into these parlors) but these dummies actually do it and are supremely disappointed. Hahaha it’s the funniest bit in this.
Overall not bad for a short snapshot of Tokyo. But not great either.
