Viewing Notes

Viewed during my lunch hour so I could get it returned to the library. It’s about what I expected. Video crew joins a couple of tours in different spots in Japan starting in Tokyo and the Tsukiji Fish Market then heading to an area I’ve never been that is a small village loaded with shrines. Just like a place out of a Miyazaki film. Was trying to guess when this was produced but did not expect it to be March of 2008 when I was in Japan (Kyoto/Osaka) at the very same time! That was p wild to notice.
